Swim Lessons

It is never too early or late to start swim lessons.  The Eastside Family YMCA offers swim lessons for children and adults of all ages and abilities, from the timid beginner to the advanced level swimmer.  In this program the YMCA teaches not only basic swimming skills, but also skills that will allow participants to enjoy a variety of aquatic activities throughout their lives.  We teach the basic fundamentals of swimming, stroke refinement, and personal safety.  Our ultimate goal is not only teaching you and your child how to swim, but to build confidence in everyone's swimming abilities and to develop the whole person - spirit, mind and body.  It's what make us different from any other exercise facility.
