Program RegistrationYMCA of Eau Claire members, please sign up during member registration to ensure your preferred program times. Most programs have enrollment limits so early registration is encouraged. To register for a program at member rates, your Y membership MUST be valid during the entire program session. If you decide to cancel your membership while still participating in a program, you will be required to pay the difference between the non-member and member program fee. If your child has any medical problems or concerns, it is the responsibility of the parent to notify the program director in writing prior to the starting date of the program. Program attendance is vital to your child receiving quality instruction from the program. We ask that all participants attend classes on a regular basis. Due to class size limits, we do not allow a child to make up a missed lesson.

AQUATICS Skips Parent/Child Swim lessons, Ages 3-36 monthsThe Skips class focuses on strengthening the parent and child relationship while learning the fundamentals of water safety. A parent will accompany their child into the water for each lesson. This class is ideal for our youngest swimmers.

Pike & Parent Ages 2-4 yearsThis parent/child class is ideal for a toddler who is looking for more independence in the water under the guidance of a parent. This class is perfect for any preschooler who is not quite ready to swim without the parent. Pike I skills will be the basis of each lesson.

Pike I Ages 3-5 years Pike I introduces new swimmers to the pool. Participants are introduced to floating, kicking, blowing bubbles and pool safety with an instructor’s assistance.

Pike II Ages 3-5 yearsPike II strives to further assist the beginner swimmer to adjust to swim lessons. Swimmers learn to float, kick and blow bubbles independently.

Eel Ages 4-5 yearsEel swimmers are able to independently float, kick and blow bubbles. Eels are able to comfortably perform the paddle stroke 10 yards.

Ray Ages 4-5 yearsSwimmers strive to improve their existing stroke skills with exposure to treading water, rhythmic breathing and underwater swimming.

Starfish Ages 5-6 yearsSwimmers will continue to improve on their abilities to tread water, swim front crawl with rhythmic breathing, and develop a rudimentary breast stroke. Starfish swimmers should be able to swim 1 length of the pool unassisted.

Polliwog Ages 6-8 yearsPolliwog swimmers learn floating skills, flutter kick, paddle stroke, elementary stroke and personal safety. This class is ideal for school-age swimmers who are new to swim lessons.

Guppy Ages 6-8 yearsGuppy swimmers continue to build on their floating, kicking and rhythmic breathing skills. Guppy swimmers are expected to swim 25 yards without assistance and comfortably swim in water deeper than 4 feet deep.

Minnow Ages 8-12 yearsMinnows are challenged to become acquainted with several strokes including the front & back crawl, breast stroke, elementary stroke and side stroke.

Fish Ages 8-12 yearsFish are pushed to refine their stroke technique and learn the butterfly stroke. Fish are expected to comfortably swim 50+ yards per stroke.

Flying Fish/Shark Ages 10-12 yearsSwimmers are expected to master all swimming strokes! Stroke technique and swimming endurance are largely emphasized. Swimmers are expected to comfortably swim 200+ yards per stroke.

Camp PricingWe offer three different price options because we want each family to choose the rate that is most appropriate for them. No special paperwork is required. The price you pay does not change the experience your children receive.

Tier A This price most accurately reflects the true cost of camp, taking into account basic upkeep, depreciation, and facility/program improvements.Tier B This price is a rate for families who need to adjust down slightly from the true cost.Tier C This subsidized rate is only available to YMCA members.

We believe all kids should have the opportunity to experience camp and will work with families to make this happen. Contact Michelle at [email protected] for financial assistance applications.

Family Friendly Cancellation PolicyWe accept cancellations at any time and for any reason. We believe we offer a great program that is a high priority in family decision-making. Should campers desire to withdraw their attendance, we believe it would be with good reason, such as an illness, unplanned change to schedule, significant anxiety, etc. We will refund your balance minus the non-refundable deposit. Outside documentation such as a doctor’s note is not needed. Please inform us as soon as possible regarding any cancellations so we can open up your spot for another camper to attend. You can only cancel by contacting our Camp Registrar at [email protected].

CAMP MANITOU MANITOU “SPIRIT AND TRADITION”For more than 90 years, the beautiful woods on Long Lake have provided the ideal backdrop for youth to retreat.

During our week-long summer camps, campers have the opportunity to participate in many outdoor activities including canoeing, kayaking, archery, fire building, large group games, campfires, and more.
