JUMP IN COOL OFFAQUATIC PROGRAMSNew York City’s YMCAs have taught people how to swim for over 150 years, and we strive to provide individuals the opportunity to enter the water in a safe and fun environment. Swimming is one of the most effective tools in developing the spirit, mind and body!

FREE SWIM, LAP SWIM and FAMILY SWIM Your Bronx Y or City-wide Membership will allow you to swim during the scheduled lap swim and family swim hours.

Schedules are available at the Member Services Desk, on our mobile app, and on our website: ymcanyc.org/bronx

PRIVATE /SEMI-PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS Let our caring, experienced aquatics team support you in acheiving your individual swim goals. Private lessons target your strengths as a swimmer and allow you and your instructor to develop an individualized plan for what you want to get better at. Lessons are offered at 30-minute sessions. You are welcome to invite friends or family to join you for semi-private lessons. Private lessons are about you. We’re able to help you plan what will best help you become the swimmer you want to be. You may schedule your appointment with the Aquatics Director, Nadia Arroyo, by visiting the Member Services Desk.

PARENT/CHILD AND PRESCHOOL (6 months - 3 years)Parents are given guidance on how to develop their children’s abilities and how to protect their children from harm in, on, and around the water; children are given the chance to explore a new environment and to build skills that add to their self-confidence. Both benefit from taking part in an experience that lets them learn and have fun together in the water!

PRESCHOOL (3-5 years)This is a child’s first experience in the pool without parental assistance. The children are taught the basic skills that are the building blocks of swimming. They also learn about pool safety, boating safety, and the use of personal flotation devices.

YOUTH (6-12 years), TEEN (13-17 years) and ADULT (18 and older)The YMCA helps teens and adults develop valuable skills and a lifetime love of the water, while instilling re-sponsibility and safety instruction.

PORPOISE CLUBIn this class we build stamina and improve mastery of the four competetive strokes: front crawl, back-stroke, breaststroke and butterfly. Workouts swim an average of 1,000 to 2,000 yards.

B / WATER EXPLORATION In stage B, parents work with their children to explore body positions, floating, blowing bubbles, and fundamental safety and aquatic skills.

SWIM STAGE DESCRIPTIONS

SWIM STARTERS

2 / WATER MOVEMENT In stage 2, students focus on body position and control, directional change, and forward movement in the water while also continuing to practice how to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water.

5 / STROKE DEVELOPMENT Students in stage 5 work on stroke technique and learn all major competitive strokes. The emphasis on water safety continues through treading water and sidestroke.

A / WATER DISCOVERY Parents accompany children in stage A, which introduces infants and toddlers to the aquatic environment through exploration and encourages them to enjoy themselves while learning about the water.

1 / WATER ACCLIMATION Students develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water in stage 1. This stage lays the foundation that allows for a student’s future progress in swimming.

4 / STROKE INTRODUCTION Students in stage 4 develop stroke technique in front crawl and back crawl and learn the breaststroke kick and butterfly kick. Water safety is reinforced through treading water and elementary backstroke.

6 / STROKE MECHANICSIn stage 6, students refine stroke technique on all major competitive strokes, learn about competitive swimming, and discover how to incorporate swimming into a healthy lifestyle.

3 / WATER STAMINA In stage 3, students learn how to swim to safety from a longer distance than in previous stages in the event of falling into a body of water. This stage also introduces rhythmic breathing and integrated arm and leg action.

SWIM BASICS

SWIM STROKES

Accompanied by a parent, infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidence- building experiences, while parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision.

Students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills:

• Swim, float, swim—sequencing front glide, roll, back float, roll, front glide, and exit

• Jump, push, turn, grab

Having mastered the fundamentals, students learn additional water safety skills and build stroke technique, developing skills that prevent chronic disease, increase social-emotional and cognitive well-being, and foster a lifetime of physical activity.

HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? Our front-desk staff is available to answer any questions about the swim lessons program.

At New York City’s YMCA, creating a safe and welcoming environment is a team effort.

We ask everyone — staff, members, and guests — to follow our Code of Conduct, which is based on our core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.

Cooperation among staff, members and

guests is an important part of making

our YMCA welcoming to all. Suspension

or termination of membership or

employment with the YMCA may result

from violating this Code of Conduct.

CODE OF CONDUCT

The YMCA of Greater New York is a community service organization which promotes positive values through programs that build spirit, mind and body, welcoming all people, with a focus on youth.

1. Speaking in respectful tones; refraining from the use of vulgar or derogatory language; and dressing appropriately.

2. Resolving conflicts in a respectful, honest, and caring manner; never resorting to physical contact or threatening gestures.

3. Respecting others by refraining from intimate behavior in public; abstaining from contact of a sexual nature.

4. Respecting the property of others; never engaging in theft or destruction.

5. Creating a safe, caring environment; never carrying illegal firearms or devices.

EXERCISINGCOURTESY

1. Get oriented. Not sure how to use the equipment or what you should be doing? Orientations are free for all members!

2. Speak up. Report any incidents or accidents to a uniformed staff member immediately. Notify a staff member if equipment is not working properly.

3. Be safe. Appropriate clothing and footwear for exercise are required. Sandals, open-toe shoes, and street clothing, or other clothing that restricts movement are not allowed.

4. Get a buddy. We strongly encourage working out with a partner and using a spotter when training with free weights.

5. Keep it simple. Our fitness equipment was not designed for the use of straps, belts, chains, ropes, and other devices designed for pulling or pushing the equipment. Doing so will compromise the stability of fitness center equipment and your own safety.

6. Please help keep facilities clean and safe by wiping off equipment after use, returning all equipment to its proper place, picking up personal items, and removing plates from weight lifting bars when you are finished. Do not bring food, open containers, or coffee cups into the fitness center.

7. Give others a turn by respecting the 30-minute time limit on all cardiovascular equipment if others are waiting.

8. Lock it up. Daily lockers are reserved for your personal items while you are in the Y. Items may be left overnight in rented lockers only. Please visit the front desk for more information on monthly locker rentals.

9. Youth are welcome. Before using the Fitness Center, children ages 12 to 17 must complete an orientation session and submit a signed parental consent form to staff.

10. Hang it up. For your security and safety and the consideration of others, please refrain from cell phone use in the fitness facilities.

The YMCA of Greater New York is a community service organization which promotes positive values through programs that build spirit, mind and body, welcoming all people, with a focus on youth.

To make your YMCA experience safe and enjoyable, we ask all members to abide by the YMCA Code of Conduct and exhibit the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
