Whether you want to swim at your pace during our open swim or lane swim periods, join a group aquafit course, learn to swim, or simply relax in the pool, the Y has an activity for you.
Our pools are true multi-generational hubs. They are places where people come to swim in a caring, safe environment—whether it is kids learning this essential skill or people of all ages getting back into shape while protecting joints. Most of our pools are half-Olympic size pools (25 m x 12.5 m) and have between 3 to 5 lanes for swimming. Find a YMCA pool near you and come swim with confidence.
