Andover Swim Lessons
The YMCA is centered on four core values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Swim Lessons include age-
appropriate opportunities to define, model and celebrate these core values. We utilize low instructor to
participant ratios, ranging from 1 instructor to 4-6 participants, depending on stage.
Swim Lessons provide important life skills that could save a life, and will benefit you for a lifetime. All YMCA swim
instructors are nationally certified and are trained in CPR, AED, First Aid and Oxygen Administration.
