PURPOSE:

Our program strives to create a safe and fun aquatic environment in an effort to teach beginner to advanced swimming skills while also inspiring a growing love of swimming.

OBJECTIVE:

The YWCA Gettysburg Swimming Program offers a variety of classes for youth from the age of 6 months to 14 years!  Children between the ages of 6 months and three years have an opportunity to become comfortable in the water while bonding with a parent in the Aqua Babies and Aqua Tots classes.  Children between the ages of 3 and 1st grade learn the basics of swimming with an instructor in small groups in the TOPSS program.  Youth in 2^nd grade through age 14 learn more advanced strokes and techniques, all while having a great time with their peers in the Swim School program.  Age-appropriate swimming and boating safety skills are introduced to all TOPSS and Swim School students.

There will be no class on Sunday, October 1, 2023.
