“I CAN SWIM THE WHOLE WAY ACROSS THE POOL!”
Hearing those excited words coming from a beaming child is about as rewarding as it gets. The kids don’t know that they’ve also learned to be safe in the water, to follow instructions, to develop new skills, to gain confidence, and to make friends. But we do.
The Y offers swim lessons year-round for every age -even adults (it’s never too late!). We can’t wait to see you!

Swim Lessons INFO
The Y strives to help all ages learn how to swim, so they can stay safe around water and learn the skills needed to make swimming a lifelong pursuit for healthy living. Knowing how to be safe around water is one of the most important life skills we can teach our children.
Come Dressed to Class
Come to class dressed in your swimsuit, and don’t forget to bring your towel for after class! Goggles are optional, but you’re welcome to bring them!
Parents and Guardians
Parents must remain in the building while your children are taking swimming lessons. One parent or guardian must be in the water with their swimmer in the parent/child lessons for ages 6 months – 36 months.
Inclement Weather Pool Policy
Our YMCA guidelines require us to close the pool to all activities if lightning and thunder is within 6 miles of our facility. Lifeguards are trained to judge this and have the final say on all closures. Pool and wet areas must be cleared and closed until 30 minutes after the last evidence of lightning and thunder is present.
