NEW! Continuous Swim Lessons

At the Y, we know that it takes a child more than six weeks to develop effective life long water safety
skills. That is why we are thrilled to introduce the new continuous swim lesson model at the Kelowna
Family Y.

We have listened to your feedback and are excited to offer the same quality YMCA Canada swim lessons
in a more convenient, no hassle model. Simply register one time and enjoy all of the benefits listed
below. We are confident this model is the right fit for developing and building strong kids and strong
families in our community.

The benefits of Continuous Swim Lessons

• Eliminates the hassle of continuous re-registration as you register only once.

• Members will sign up for a convenient time slot that continues throughout the year.

• All levels will happen during the same time slot. If you have a family of several children, they can all participate at the same time, giving you the freedom to schedule other activities throughout the day.

• Children will progress at their own pace without the pressure of completing levels within the typical lesson set structure and timeframe.

• Provides continuous feedback and promotes relationship building between the instructor, participant members, and families.
  

Swim Lesson Program Membership & Registration

• Please see the Program Membership for rates.

• If your child has not participated in a YMCA swim lesson within the past one-year period they must have an assessment (see Lesson Team Leader during lesson times).

• Please have your 1st and 2nd choices of day/time ready before you register.

• Aquatics staff will have record of the correct starting level for each child and will assign them to the appropriate instructor in your chosen slot.

Please note: To ensure all time slots are properly utilized, parents must notify the Lesson Team Leader in advance if their child will be absent from a registered swim lesson. All absents must be documented. Children absent for two consecutive lessons without notification or valid grounds will lose their weekly time slot.
