Start Swim Lessons

With a focus on water safety and skill development, the YMCA Swim Lesson program is effective at helping children and adults learn to swim and, most importantly, be safe around water.

The Y was the first organization to establish certification programs for lifesaving, swimming and aquatic instruction, and it's a tradition we're proud to continue today.

Join Swim Team

Why Join Swim Team? On swim team children work with swim coaches and learn to become strong, efficient swimmers by repeatedly practicing and correcting stroke technique and specific skills necessary to gain efficiency in the water.

Your child does not have to compete to be on the team.

If you child can swim the length of the pool, 25 yards, consider taking lessons with WYNS. We have swimmers as young as 3 years old.
