Swim Lesson Policies

The Martinsville-Henry County Family YMCA offers swimming lessons according to guidelines set by the YMCA of the USA. Our lessons not only focus on learning to swim, but on all aspects of the aquatic environment The elements of Personal Safety, Rescue, Water Sports and Games, and Personal Growth are also incorporated into swim lessons. We believe in building the spirit, mind, and body of our programming.

* The minimum number to run a swim lesson i is four participants. To avoid canceling of a lesson, we may combine levels as appropriate according to age-group and skill level.

* YMCA instructors will assess and assign children to the appropriate skill level class within their range if necessary. Please note that our lessons are progressive and each student progresses at their own rate.

* Registration will not be taken by phone. Payment must be made at time of registration to secure enrollment.

* The YMCA is not responsible for providing make-up class for any class that an individual student may miss. If the instructor cancels class, the YMCA will schedule a make-up date.
