At the Y, we believe the ability to swim is a critical life skill that every child should have the opportunity to learn. When you learn to swim, you gain confidence, acquire safety skills and experience water activities you can enjoy for a lifetime.

We are excited for the newest upgrades in our YMCA swim lesson curriculum. This new curriculum helps each participant experience a sense of accomplishment after each lesson, build relationships with other swimmers, and advance more quickly through the stages.
