Our Award-Winning Swim Lessons
Swim lesson programming varies by location. The YMCA has long been America’s favorite swimming instructor. Whether you're just learning how to swim, improving your strokes, swimming competitively or taking water exercise classes, members and program participants are in safe hands with our certified swimming instructors and lifeguards.
For more than 160 years, the YMCA has nurtured potential and united communities across America to create lasting, meaningful change. Everything the Y does is in service of building a better us. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to teach youth, teens, and adults to swim, so they can stay safe around water and acquire the skills necessary to make swimming a lifelong pursuit for maintaining their health.
Our staff training includes CPR, AED, First Aid and Oxygen Administration. Swim lessons provide important life skills that could save a life and will benefit students for a lifetime.
Benefits
Teaching your child to swim and encouraging them to swim regularly can have significant benefits for both their health and safety. Especially on a hot day, swimming is a way to keep cool while encouraging a healthy level of physical and social activity. Take your kids to indoor pools in the colder months to promote an active lifestyle all year long. Swimming provides a more effective workout than some other activities.
