For children from 6 months to 3 years old, YMCA Swim Starters swim lessons help children become comfortable in water and teach parents about water safety. These lessons do not teach children how to survive in water or become accomplished swimmers. Instead, Swim Starters swim lessons create a foundation of aquatic skill through fun and confidence-building experiences. Parents and caregivers learn how to supervise children in water, prevent accidents and plan for emergencies.

The Johnstown Community YMCA also offers infant swim lessons through Infant Swimming Resource (ISR). ISR lessons are designed to teach children self-rescue skills in the water through one-on-one lessons.

Registration closes three days prior to the lesson start date to give us time to coordinate each lesson. If you would like to sign up for lessons after registration closes, please call the Aquatics Department to see if space is still available.
