Aquatics: Adult Lessons (13+)
No matter your age, water safety is important. Whether joining Y swim lessons to gain basic water safety skills, get over a fear of the water, or develop swimming techniques, we have options for teens and adults of all ages. Group swim lessons, semi-private, private and even Masters Swim programs are available through the YMCA.
For parents, your family is safer around water when you are comfortable around water and have the adult swimming skills to keep yourself and your children safe.
