It’s never too early or too late to learn to swim. YMCA swim lessons help swimmers of all ages build skills, gain confidence and progress at their own pace in a safe, supportive environment.

Get certified through the American Red Cross and build the skills needed to respond to aquatic emergencies. Participants must be at least 15 years old by the final day of the course.

Get a full-body workout in the pool. YMCA water exercise classes help build strength, improve flexibility and endurance, and support cardiovascular fitness with the benefits of water-based movement.

Build skills, improve technique and experience the excitement of competitive swimming with YMCA swim teams at our Licking and Muskingum branches. Programs welcome swimmers across a range of ages and abilities.

Enjoy time in the pool your way. Swim laps, practice your skills, or simply splash and play together during scheduled Open Swim times.

Learn skills designed for unexpected entries into the water. Children practice how to float, tread water, and get themselves to safety while building confidence in and around water.
