INDOOR HEATED POOL

The pool stays at 86 degrees year round for comfort during exercise classes or kids learning to swim. The shallow pool will help improve your strength, flexibility and endurance during water exercise and also is the perfect forum to teach both kids as well as adults how to swim.

SWIM LESSONS

With classes for all ages and skills offered year around, children are assessed prior to instruction to make sure they are in the right skill level. You may register for each session approximately two week prior to the start date and fees are based on enrollment not attendance.

Each student will progress at his/her own pace. It is not unusual for a student to repeat a level more than once before mastering all the necessary skills. We strongly encourage all parents to participate actively in their child's swimming experience here at the San Gabriel Valley Family YMCA by communicating with the child's instructor.
