Swim Classes

The YMCA is the place where Americans go to find the most trusted instructors of swimming and lifeguard training. Providing introductory and advanced swimming for youth and adults, YMCAs are widely recognized as America’s leading resource in aquatics. In YMCA Swim Classes, children and adults learn not only how to swim, but also about leadership, safety and rescue skills, and water activities that can be enjoyed for a lifetime.

Program Fees

In our program brochures, you’ll find two fees listed for each program. Full Members receive priority registration and a lower fee on all YMCA programs. Those who just want to take programs, may do so by purchasing a Program Membership for one low fee each year. Additionally, Program Members pay a higher fee on programs.
