Swim Lessons & Youth Aquatics

Swimming

For over 110 years, the Y has been an innovator and leader in aquatics program development worldwide. We were the first organization to offer organized swim lessons and began Group Lessons in 1907 at the Detroit YMCA by George Corsan.

At the YMCA, children and adults learn to swim in a positive, fun manner that builds athletic, social and interpersonal skills. They learn about themselves, safety and rescue skills, and water activities thatcan be enjoyed for a lifetime.

If you have question about what level your child should be participating in please view our Swim Lesson Guidelines.
