Make A Splash!

Our pool is the only full size pool in the area!

Each year, the Juniata Valley YMCA teaches children and adults to swim and certifies a large percentage of area lifeguards.  Have an injury or need a form of low-impact exercise that's easy on your body?  Come swim at the JVYMCA.  From swim lessons to aqua fitness to birthday pool parties to swim teams, you'll find the water fun you're looking for at the Y!

Parent/Child Swim Class

This is a parent-child water introduction program to help the parent and the child get used to the water and see the pool as fun.
Parents and children play games that introduce basic introductory water skills such as blowing bubbles, breath control, kicking and floating. The class focuses on water orientation and encourages parents and babies to trust each other in the water. Lifeguards are always on the pool deck during swim lessons.

The parent-child classes are offered for children ages 6 months – 36 months

Next session: TBH

Members: $25 / Nonmembers: $35 

 

A parent/family member must accompany the child in the water.
