Swimming lessons for kids in Montréal and Québec City

At the YMCA, physical literacy is at the very core of our programs. With our wide range of swim lessons, you can find the course that best suits your child's swim ability. 

Our swim lessons for kids are open to the public, whether you are a member or not.
