Youth Classes and Swim Lessons Begin Feb. 22 at Miller YMCA

The Miller Family YMCA of Newbury Park is taking signups for its spring youth programs and swim lessons. Sessions begin February 22 at the Y (320 Via Las Brisas, Newbury Park).

Youth classes include “Itty Bitty” (ages 3 to 5) and youth (ages 6 to 10) ballet, karate and tumbling. Classes are primarily held in the afternoons one to two times a week.

Swim sessions in the Y’s heated indoor pool are on Mondays-Wednesdays, Tuesdays-Thursdays and on Saturdays. Classes run from the week of February 22 through April 16. All swim level instruction, from parent-tot to pre-swim team, is available.

The Miller Y is also looking for members of its Manta Ray swim team. “Team members continue to build on their swimming ability,” says Kara Kaplan, the Miller Y’s aquatics director. “Being on the swim team gives participants a chance to perfect their strokes and learn how to be good team players.” The swim team meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. A competition team, which participates in meets, works out immediately afterwards, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
