SIMI VALLEY, Calif. - June 5, 2013 - PRLog -- SIMI VALLEY, CALIF.--The Simi Valley Family YMCA offers five, two-week swim sessions during the summer beginning June 17. All classes take place in the Simi Y's heated indoor swimming pool. Junior lifeguard training classes begin June 24.  

         Swim sessions consist of eight, half-hour swim lessons for all age groups from as early as age six months (parent/tot class) to ages six and up. Morning, afternoon and Saturday classes, private and group lessons are available.

         "The YMCA has been providing swim lessons for over 100 years. It's taught literally million of kids how to swim," says Andrea Isbell, Simi Y's aquatics director. "Instruction techniques are especially designed to help each child develop to their fullest potential, acquire pool safety awareness and master swim skills to the best of their ability. It combines learning with plenty of fun."  

         The Simi YMCA offers a junior lifeguard program for kids ages nine through 15. "Participants learn water rescues, deck rescues and safety and emergency procedures," says Isbell. "They also learn how to be aware and responsible in and around the pool and they will serve as lifeguard assistants during camp swim time."
