Our YMCA certified instructors focus on swim instruction, water safety and fun for everyone. Your child will build friendships, develop self-esteem and create positive experiences that will last a lifetime. We offer swim lessons for all ages and skill levels, lifeguard certification and the Stingray Youth Swim Team.
Year round swim lessons are offered in our warm-water, indoor pools. Additionally, outdoor lessons are offered during the summer months at the Rockford Park District pools.
Outdoor lessons at Alpine Park Pool and Sand Park Pool are by registration. 2023 registration will open in May with lessons starting in June. Free, drop-in lessons are available at Harkins Aquatic Center starting in June.
