AQUATIC PROGRAMMING HAS CHANGED TO A MONTHLY ROLLING REGISTRATION.
- The programs now run from September 2024 thru June 2025. You can register for one month or rolling (continuous). Registering for rolling saves your spot in that class. Rolling
registration means you will be drafted monthly just like membership. If you want to cancel your registration, please do so by the end of the month.

NURTURING SKILLS AND BUILDING CONFIDENCE IN THE WATER
For more than 160 years, the YMCA has nurtured potential and united communities across America to create lasting, meaningful change. Everything the Y does is in service of building a better
us. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to teach youth, teens, and adults to swim, so they can stay safe around water and learn the skills they need to make swimming a
lifelong pursuit for staying healthy. Y swim instructors are nationally certified. Their training includes CPR, AED, First Aid and Oxygen Administration. Swim lessons provide important life
skills that could save a life and will benefit students for a lifetime.
