The Y is the starting point for many youth to learn about becoming and staying active,
and developing healthy habits they'll carry with them throughout their lives. And the
benefits are far greater than just physical health.
Whether it's gaining the confidence that comes from learning to swim or building the
positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participating in
sports at the Y is about building the whole child, from the inside out.
YOUTH SWIMMING
We believe ability to swim is a critical life skill every child and teen should learn.
Our youth swim lessons use a variety of fun methods to help kids overcome fears, build
confidence in the water and develop skills that last a lifetime. Qualified instructors
tailor lessons based on your child's age andå ability level to give your child the skills
and knowledge they need to be safe in the water.
Youth swim teams and other offerings provide additional opportunities for children to
develop a lifelong love of the water.
