The Best Is Now Even Better
For more than 100 years, the YMCA has been known as America's Swim Instructor. Group lessons were invented at the Y in 1909, and each year, more than 1 million children (and many adults!) learn to swim in YMCA-sponsored classes.
For our youngest students—age 6 months to 3 years—we offer Parent & Child classes that are FREE with a Family membership. In these classes, parents help their children learn to enjoy the water in preparation for preschool lessons later on.
Develop skills that provide lifelong benefits by enrolling in swim lessons at the Y!

Competitive Swim
We offer competitive swimming for swimmers ages 6-22 at several of our branches. All branches swim in the local, state and national YMCA network, as well as have the opportunity to compete in USA Swimming. We have well-trained coaches and great facilities where we're able to keep youth active and improve their skills in the water.
