PARENT & CHILD AQUATICS CLASSES

Ages 6 months - 36 months

yMCA aquatics are about water safety, skill development and fun for everyone: we have an aquatic program for every skill level and interest. our programs are about more than just techniques and skills; they are about building friendships, developing self-esteem and creating positive experiences that last a lifetime.

our primary objective is to get both the parent and child comfortable in the water. the child will become aware of the differences between moving through water and on dry land, while the parent will become aware of how to teach the child to be safer in and around the water. Classes are designed to allow the child to have fun while the parent guides him or her to learn aquatic skills. the child will be exposed to games that use basic movements in the water such as kicking, arm strokes, and breath control. Activities are based on the developmental abilities of the child. Please contact keith Delph at 212-912-2242 or [email protected] for more information on youth aquatics programs.

Gym & Swim – In the first half hour, parent and child participate in songs and activities as they play together in our Gymnasium. then the pair will discover buoyancy and beginning movement in the water, such as kicking, arm strokes, and breath control. Classes enhance your child’s social, physical, gross motor and cognitive development, through self-discovery, interaction with new friends, songs and games!
