Aquatics

You don't have to wait until summer to swim. Four of our locations have indoor pools, and each location has its own Aquatics program and schedule to suit its members needs.

 And we have Aquatics programs designed for everyone in the family, no matter their age or athletic ability.

The Y has been teaching kids swimming lessons for decadesSwim Lessons Save Lives

The Y has been called "America's Favorite Swim Instructor" for more than 100 years.  At the Y, not only will you learn how to swim, you'll learn about yourself, about safety and rescue skills, and about water activities you can enjoy for a lifetime.  Lots of class times are available to meet your family's busy schedule.  Water safety is our highest priority in all aquatics programs, and classes are taught by trained instructors. Classes are also divided into age and ability groups, so not only are our swimmers learning swimming skills and improving overall health, they're practicing positive social skills.

Water Fitness

Feel intimidated by the gym? Need to get out of a workout rut? Try one of the Y's Water Fitness classes. Being immersed in water makes you buoyant, which makes some movements possible that would be too difficult on land. These classes are ideal for all fitness levels and can increase strength and endurance without putting stress on your joints. Not a swimmer? Not a problem. Our instructors teach a variety of Water Fitness classes for all levels. As with any of our aquatics programs, water safety is a priority.

Classes offered:  Shallow Water, Senior Water Fitness, Stretch and Flex, Move and Flex, Deep Water and Combo. Each Y pool is different, so please checkyour branch’s aquatics schedule for for class details, days, and times.

The course is perfect for teens looking toward getting a summer job or anyone 15 years old and older who would like to learn valuable lifesaving skills. Classes begin in February.
