DIVE RIGHT IN

swimmerAquatics has been a part of the YMCA programming since 1885, when the first YMCA swimming pool was built in the Brooklyn YMCA in New York.  Besides a long history, our swim program has an excellent reputation.

 

40% of all children surveyed said they are able to swim, while only 18% of total respondents have taken swim lessons from a certified instructor.  We have the solution for that!

 

Our year-round aquatics program includes: parent-child, preschool, youth and adult swim lessons.  Registration starts October 17th with classes starting October 31st.
