At A Glance
The YMCA has a rich history as the pioneer of group swim instruction, opening its first indoor pool in 1885 and creating the nation's first structured swim lesson program in 1909. Today, that legacy lives on through a comprehensive aquatics program that puts water safety at the core of everything we do. Because drowning remains a leading cause of accidental injury and death—especially among young children—learning basic water competency, survival skills, and risk awareness is a crucial life skill.
Swim Lessons
Swim lessons at the Y create confidence and teach new skills in a fun, caring environment. Not to mention the benefits of staying active and healthy! We offer lessons for all ages and levels, including individual and group lessons.
Swim Team
The YMCA Swim Team offers young swimmers a supportive, competitive environment to build speed, endurance, and advanced stroke mechanics.
Training & Certifications
Build skills that save lives and set you up for success. The Y offers Lifeguard Training and CPR/First Aid courses that prepare participants for real-world emergencies and childcare. Courses include CPR/AED for all ages, First Aid, and lifeguarding techniques. Certifications meet child care licensing and California Teaching Credential requirements, with instruction led by certified American Red Cross trainers.
