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

At the YMCA, children and adults not only learn how to swim, they also learn about themselves, safety and rescue skills, and water activities that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. Throughout all levels students are taught aquatics and safety skills. YMCAs also offer water fitness classes and competitive swim programs for adults and youth.
