WHAT IS PILATES?The six principles of Pilates are: concentration, control, center, flow, precision, and breathing. The main focus is to keep your spine young, well aligned, and supple, maintaining its health.

Pilates also increases overall flexibility, balance, and coordination for people of all fitness levels and with diverse health histories. Clients notice substantial improvement after only a few sessions in their flexibility and coordination levels.

The work in Pilates aims to create a longer and leaner physique, and when done in a circuit that combines both the apparatus and mat, it will give you the fastest results.

EXERCISINGCOURTESY

1. Get oriented. Not sure how to use the equipment or what you should be doing? Orientations are free for all members!

2. Speak up. Report any incidents or accidents to a uniformed staff member immediately. Notify a staff member if equipment is not working properly.

3. Be safe. Appropriate clothing and footwear for exercise are required. Sandals, open-toed shoes, and street clothing, or other clothing that restricts movement are not allowed.

9. Youth are welcome. Before using the Fitness Center, children ages 12 to 17 must complete an orientation session and submit a signed parental consent form to staff.

10. Hang it up. For your security and safety and the consideration of others, please refrain from cell phone use in the fitness facilities.

The Dodge YMCA provides young people with a safe space to socialize, seek support and participate in activities that build self-esteem, prepare them for higher education and to succeed as an adult. Our goal is to empower, inspire and teach young people to be leaders through our various programs and workshops.

All teen programs are FREE and open to the community. Please see a copy of the Teen Program Schedule for times and locations. Interested individuals should stop by the Membership Desk and pick up an application.

Leaders ClubParticipants will be exploring issues such as Self-Image, Community Service, Violence Prevention, Racism/Sexism/Ageism, as well as College and Career Prep. This program provides young people with the opportunity to have a voice and feel empowered in the community and in their lives. Leaders Club focuses on skill building, character development, goal setting, service learning and networking.

Leaders Club is a fun, safe, and creative place. Participants will also receive opportunities for academic assistance, scholarships, internships, college mentorships and job training. Midyear, the Leaders Club will visit a YMCA camp for a weekend rally with participants from NY and around the Northeast.

Teen CenterOn Saturday nights during the months of September to June, from 8:00 pm -10:00 pm the Dodge Y opens its facility to teens only. We have structured cooking classes, open basketball, dance/hip hop class, ping pong, art and teen training sessions. Come join us for an evening of recreation and fun! Doors close at 8:30 PM sharp.

Teens Take the CityRoll up your sleeves and get involved in issues that affect yourselves and your community. Learn about civic involvement by learning about the NYC government, meet NYC officials, develop policy proposals and present them at legislative hearings. Be the voice in your community and work towards making a positive difference.

B / WATER EXPLORATION In stage B, parents work with their children to explore body positions, floating, blowing bubbles, and fundamental safety and aquatic skills.

SWIM STAGE DESCRIPTIONS

SWIM STARTERS

2 / WATER MOVEMENT In stage 2, students focus on body position and control, directional change, and forward movement in the water while also continuing to practice how to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water.

5 / STROKE DEVELOPMENT Students in stage 5 work on stroke technique and learn all major competitive strokes. The emphasis on water safety continues through treading water and sidestroke.

A / WATER DISCOVERY Parents accompany children in stage A, which introduces infants and toddlers to the aquatic environment through exploration and encourages them to enjoy themselves while learning about the water.

1 / WATER ACCLIMATION Students develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water in stage 1. This stage lays the foundation that allows for a student’s future progress in swimming.

4 / STROKE INTRODUCTION Students in stage 4 develop stroke technique in front crawl and back crawl and learn the breaststroke kick and butterfly kick. Water safety is reinforced through treading water and elementary backstroke.

6 / STROKE MECHANICSIn stage 6, students refine stroke technique on all major competitive strokes, learn about competitive swimming, and discover how to incorporate swimming into a healthy lifestyle.

3 / WATER STAMINA In stage 3, students learn how to swim to safety from a longer distance than in previous stages in the event of falling into a body of water. This stage also introduces rhythmic breathing and integrated arm and leg action.

SWIM BASICS

SWIM STROKES

Accompanied by a parent, infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidence- building experiences, while parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision.

Students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills:

• Swim, float, swim—sequencing front glide, roll, back float, roll, front glide, and exit

• Jump, push, turn, grab

Having mastered the fundamentals, students learn additional water safety skills and build stroke technique, developing skills that prevent chronic disease, increase social-emotional and cognitive well-being, and foster a lifetime of physical activity.

HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? Our front-desk staff is available to answer any questions about the swim lessons program.
