YMCA Swim Lessons YMCA swimming lessons provide children with essential skills to be safe in and around water. In addition to building character and self-confidence, children learn about leadership, safety and rescue skills, and water activities. These important survival skills allow parents and children to enjoy a lifetime of both fun and healthy activity at pools, beaches and water parks. Swimming is also an ideal exercise for Baby Boomers and other older adults who want to maintain their fitness, but may need to give up high-impact or repetitive-motion activities such as running, cycling and aerobics. For more information about YMCA swim lessons or aquatic programs, check out our current program brochure for current offerings!

Y Youth Sports Sign up for basketball at the Y starting at age 3 1/2 to 5th grade.

If you are interested in coaching, please indicate on your child’s registration form. All games are held at the Y on Saturdays. For more information and to register online, click here.

Y activities help children develop valuable skills, gain confidence, and build self-esteem.
