YMCA of Lincoln Nebraska

Float For Life Program

This water safety program is a partnership between the YMCA of Lincoln and the Joshua Collingsworth Memorial Foundation. Classes are designed to reach children how to breathe by rolling over to their backs and floating. This life saving technique can give children those few extra seconds that can save their lives. Children will learn individually safety skills used throughout life. They will learn to float first, swim to the side and moving in and out of the water comfortably.

Swim Lessons

Swim lessons are a great way to get children from as little as 6 months old all the way into adulthood comfortable in the water. Watch as their skill level increases as they graduate from each class. Classes have a low children to instructor ratio to ensure adequate personal attention between the child and the instructor.
