ADULT SWIM LESSONS
We also offer ADULT swimming lessons! Click on "Swim Lessons" for details!
 
 
 
ATTN PARENTS:

Parents may observe from the bleachers on the deck for the first and last week of lessons. This rule exists to eliminate distraction, commotion, noise and disruptions so that children can concentrate, learn and bond with instructors more effectively. Occasional visits from relatives are not encouraged other than the first and last day of the session. Due to instructor/ participant ratios, we are unable to provide make-up classes.

Parents must remain
inside the YMCA building. Thanks, in advance, for your cooperation.
