Are you new to the water?  An expert swimmer?  Or somewhere in between?  The New Canaan YMCA has a variety of aquatic programs designed for individuals of many levels:

Swim Instruction for Adults:  The goal of this program is to give adults the opportunity to either learn to swim or to master whatever skills they may already have.  Gain comfort in the water, or brush up on your skills and enhance your technique.

SCUBA Instruction:  The YMCA offers this program to meet the needs of those interested in Scuba certification through Rex Dive Center of Norwalk.  Classes meet for four consecutive weeks, with one evening of lecture and one night of pool skills.  Classes are offered year-round.  For current class, call 203-853-4148.

Master’s Swim Team:  Our goal is to give the dedicated adult swimmer access to professional coaching, swim team equipment, and the option of more swim time in addition to our regularly scheduled Adult Lap slots.  The New Canaan YMCA’s Masters program follows the guidelines of fitness swimmers with novice ability to elite competitive athletes.  Practices will focus on stroke development, and for those interested, there will be opportunities to compete in swim meets.  Spring and Summer sessions only; contact Head Coach Jason Paige at 966-5628, ext. 137 for more information.

Master’s Synchronized Swimming:  Bored with your regular water workout?  Try something new with the New Canaan YMCA’s Masters Synchronized Swimming program.  Synchro combines the athleticism of swimming with artistic and creative elements.  For more information, contact Coach Sandra Mahoney at 966-4528, ext. 153.
