Swim Ready Powered by the IRONMAN Foundation
Service Through Sport, Commitment to Community
Proudly funded by the IRONMAN Foundation, our swim lessons are now free to the public through Swim Ready — a program dedicated to creating safer, more confident swimmers while fostering a lifelong love for the sport. Through grant funding, the program provides essential resources, support, and education to promote safer aquatic activities for children.
At Adirondack Health Medical Fitness Center, our mission aligns with the IRONMAN Foundation by providing essential water safety education and teaching children how to swim confidently and safely. Living in a community surrounded by water, we believe every child should have the opportunity to learn life-saving swimming skills.
Our swim program follows the trusted American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim curriculum, designed to help children develop water confidence, swimming ability, and safety awareness at every stage. Whether your child is just beginning their water journey or refining advanced strokes, we offer classes that support growth, confidence, and lifelong safety in and around the water.
Aqua Baby

Introduce your little one to the water in a fun, relaxed and supportive environment. Parents participate in the water with their child while exploring basic water skills, building comfort and confidence, and developing positive water experiences.

Preschool Level 1–2
Preschool Aquatics | Ages 4–5
Designed for young swimmers who are beginning to explore the water and develop basic swimming skills.

Through games and age-appropriate activities, swimmers will build confidence, comfort, and greater independence in the water.
