Swim Lessons
The YMCA offers a wide range of swim class options, including adult swimming lessons, to ensure everyone can enjoy the water. If you’re unsure which class is best for you or your child, ask about a swim assessment!
Join a Swim Team
Have fun, build healthy habits, and develop teamwork and sportsmanship values when you join a swim team at the YMCA! Contact your local branch for level requirements.
Become a Lifeguard
Enjoy working in the summer sun while keeping people safe when you earn your lifeguard certification at the YMCA (must be 16 years or older)! In addition to working as a lifeguard, your certification allows you to become a swimming instructor or coach.
Water Safety
Each year, countless families experience tragic drowning accidents that may have been preventable with proper training. The YMCA’s Safety Around Water program helps children learn essential water safety skills while giving parents peace of mind.
