A more difficult skillset will be taught at this level with the focus on body mechanics and skill development with round-offs, aerials, handstands, and backhand springs while increasing strength and flexibility.

Gym & Swim
At the Mansfield Area YMCA, it is our desire to provide quality programs and services to youth and families in the community. Homeschooling your children is a great undertaking for a parent, and the YMCA wants to help ease that burden by providing weekly extracurricular activities for your child or children to participate in. Our Homeschool Gym and Swim program is a great way to give parents a break during the day and the kids a chance to be active!
Homeschool Gym and Swim helps to promote lifelong fitness in a positive environment with activities including sports, non-competitive games, and a structured swim program. Pool time involves a combination of free time in the water and swim instruction. Gym time allows youth to participate and learn new sports, play various games with other youth, and make new friends!
New this year will be two program sessions for your convenience. Each session will consist of 30 minutes of structured pool activity and 30 minutes of structured gym activity. Ages 3-12 are welcome to participate (Preschool ages 3-5, School-Age 6-12).
