Swim Lessons:At Sun Country Splash we do not "just give swim lessons". While teaching children to swim is one of our goals, we are steadfast in our commitment to the physical, emotional and psychological enhancement of children.   In addition, we believe that a child’s swim lesson or water orientation requires the involvement and education of the parent or responsible adult who is accompanying the child.   We will communicate with parents the goals, techniques, expectations and risks of the instruction.   Behind every safe child is a vigilant parent!   We offer a positive, happy and secure environment which provides for children’s social, intellectual, physical, and emotional growth. Learning is individualized based on each child’s capabilities.   Here, aquatic safety and aquatic enjoyment can, eventually, become second nature. Our instructors are caring and loving teachers with training and experience in swimming instruction.

Guppy and Me: Ages 6 months - 3 years
Rainbow Fish: Ages 3 years and up

There is a reason why the YMCA is referred to as America's Favorite Swim Instructor.   In Y classes, not only are you taught in a caring way how to swim, but you also learn about yourself, about safety and rescue skills, and about water activities you can enjoy for a lifetime.   Class size is determined by considering safety factors and participants' ages, making sure classes don't get too big to be comfortable.   The Northwood Family YMCA offers a Parent-Child Aquatic Program which promotes water enrichment and aquatic readiness activities for children from 6 months up to 36 months of age and their parents.   The Preschool Aquatic Program teaches water adjustment and basic swimming skills for children from 3 to 5 years of age.   The Youth Aquatic Program for those ages 6 to 15 is oriented toward student-centered learning.   It is designed to ensure the student's safety, provide the student with regular, progressive success and make the learning process more enjoyable. All programs incorporate a multi-phase learning process with each level progressing to new skills.
