Fall 2025 Swim Lessons Are Underway!
Join us for a season of learning, laughter, and confidence – one splash at a time.
There’s nothing like the joy of learning to swim at the Y! Our swim program helps children gain confidence, safety, and skill in the water – from their very first splash to strong, independent swimming. Each level builds on the one before, ensuring every child experiences progress, encouragement, and fun at every stage.
Our caring instructors create an atmosphere where kids feel supported, celebrated, and proud of what they can do. Lessons are filled with songs, games, and positive encouragement – keeping every class active, friendly, and full of smiles.
Please Note: Schedules are subject to change. For the most up-to-date information, visit our Facebook page or call Membership Services at 705-949-3133. We’re always happy to help you find the right class!
