Swim Lessons
The Y is the nation's favorite swim instructor. We teach people of all ages and from all backgrounds that water can be fun — not feared — if you know how to stay safe in and around water.

Swim Testing
Research shows that 75% of beginner-swimmer drowning injuries happen in the shallow end. Swim testing is a great way to improve children's swim skills, but also ensure their safety.

Swim Team
You don't need to be an advanced swimmer to take part in the Y's local competitive swim teams! We teach swimmers of all abilities competitive swimming skills like stroke development, time improvement and working together as a team while developing a healthy lifestyle.

100 Mile Swim Club
Do you like to swim? Do you frequently find yourself swimming laps at the Y pool, no matter rain, shine or snow? Are you looking for a new challenge to take your swim workouts to the next level? The Y’s 100 Mile Swim Club might be for you!

Safety Around Water Program
Drowning can happen nearly anywhere with standing water. By equipping kids with the tools they need to be safe and confident in and around water, they’ll reap the health benefits of exercise, bond with family and friends and take pride in their new skills safely.
