Aquatics

YMCAs have been teaching people to swim for more than a century. In YMCA aquatics programs, children learn to be safe around water and they feel the sense of accomplishment that comes with learning something new. Youth progressive swimming is the YMCA's third most widely offered program nationwide. It uses a problem-solving, guided-discovery teaching approach in a positive, caring environment. Kids can develop lifelong skills that can help them stay healthy.

Swim Team
Our RAC swim team works on increasing cardiovascular fitness, stroke development and training for competition under the direction of a swim coach.

Swim Lessons

Child and Parent: These classes promote water enrichment and aquatics readiness for children and their parent. Classes emphasize exercise, parental education, safety and fun! There must be a parent for each child in the water and infants must wear the proper laminated cloth swim diaper.

Youth: Our Youth Swim Lessons program teaches personal safety, personal growth, stroke development, water sports and games and rescue skills.

Adult: Group swim lessons are for adults who are beginning to swim or want to improve their swim techniques.

Water Exercise

Water fitness classes are a great way to get a fantastic, fun workout using the natural resistance of the water, while combining cardio-aerobic work and muscle toning exercises.

There's so much happening here, find your Y to determine what aquatic opportunities are available to your family.
