Swim Lessons
Swimming is one of life’s most essential skills: the ability to swim can help save your life or someone else’s life while introducing you to a lifetime of healthy, enjoyable activity in the water.
At the Y, our swim lessons help kids and adults of all ages and abilities develop the skills they need to become strong, confident swimmers.
Swim lessons will take place at Chesterton Middle School’s Pool, located at 651 W Morgan Ave, Chesterton, IN 46304, Door #11

Preschool (Ages 3-5)
In our preschool swim lessons, students learn a combination of water safety and basic swimming skills. As students progress, they are taught the recommended skills for all to have around water, including safe water habits, underwater exploration and how to swim to safety and exit in the event of falling into a body of water. Activities, games, and drills geared to reinforce learning are utilized heavily as students continue through this skill-based approach to swimming.
Swim lessons are 30-minutes in length twice a week. Preschool swim lessons will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00am-10:30am.
