For more than a century, the Y has been the go-to swim instructor for families across America. In today's day and age, research has revealed that if a child hasn't learned to swim by third grade, it's unlikely they ever will. Participating in formal swimming lessons is an effective way to decrease the chances of a child drowning. Knowing how to be safe around water is an absolute must for all families. At the Y, we believe swimming is an essential life skill. Our swim lessons give kids of all ages the tools they need to stay safe and have fun in the water. Through our program, children not only gain the skills to be strong swimmers but also build their self-confidence. It's our top priority to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn this critical life skill. We strive to provide a safe and supportive environment, so kids can gain the knowledge and skills they need to confidently navigate the waters.
