At the Y, we believe swimming is an important life skill. Our Group Swim lessons prepare individuals of all ages to be strong and confident swimmers. Using a skill based continuum in a safe environment, students learn to stay safe and have fun while in the water.
Ages
Swim groups at the YMCA are a great way for swimmers of all levels to come together and work on their skills in a supportive and collaborative environment. These groups typically consist of swimmers who are at similar skill levels and focus on improving stroke technique, endurance, and overall swimming proficiency. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics of swimming or an experienced swimmer looking to refine your technique and compete, there is a swim group at the YMCA for you.
Ages
The YMCA offers lifeguard and swim instructor classes and clubs provide kids interested in future positions at the Y with valuable hands-on experience. These programs teach essential skills like water safety, rescue techniques, and first aid, and provide opportunities to practice them in real-world scenarios. Additionally, these programs provide a pathway for participants to pursue future employment opportunities as lifeguards or swim instructors at the YMCA.

Best of all, it’s free for everyone, so don’t hesitate to join in and make a splash!
