STRONG SWIMMERS. CONFIDENT KIDS.

WHY THE Y FOR SWIM LESSONS?

Certified instructors take a safety-first approach and help students of all ages and skill levels learn at their own pace. This builds confidence in the water and fosters a love for swimming. We also limit our class sizes so students receive more individualized instruction.

As a bonus, our warm pool and year-round instruction allow students to build upon their progress and retain skills permanently.

The YMCA has been teaching swim lessons for more than 100 years and we're committed to helping kids, adults, and families become strong, confident swimmers!
