AQUATICS

Our pools are mixed-use. That means you're welcome to use them for recreation when programming isn't scheduled.

That's why we require the following:
 

HELP KEEP YOUR CHILDREN SAFE. Teaching children how to be safe around water is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Drowning can happen nearly anywhere with standing water. But, as a parent or caregiver, you can’t keep your children sidelined.

At the YMCA, we believe everyone should learn to swim. It's a great way to stay in shape, learn water safety, and develop a lifetime of fun activities. A few things to keep in mind to get the most out of swim lessons: First, learning to swim is progressive. Usually, it takes more than one session before a child or an adult is comfortable in the water.

At the YMCA, we believe everyone should learn to swim. Currently, the Y is excited to offer Spanish-spoken swim lessons as well as lessons for the deaf or hard of hearing.
