Swimming at the Y helps people thrive - in and out of the water. Swim lessons provide kids and teens with the opportunity to set goals and achieve success, learn water safety and enjoy swimming as a form of exercise. Through swimming lessons, swim teams, lap swimming and more, the YMCA of Central Kentucky provides a safe environment for swimmers of all ages and abilities.
YMCA swimming lessons are a progressive program teaching swimming skills, stroke technique and water safety skills such as floating, treading water and safety entering and exiting a pool. Swim lessons are available for all ages, from infants to adults. Private and semi-private swim lessons are also available. Our swimming programs are led by trained instructors who are certified in CPR and First Aid in addition to their formal swim instructor training.
You don't need to be an advanced swimmer to take part in the YMCA's local competitive swim teams! At the Y, we teach youth swimmers of all abilities competitive swimming skills like stroke development, time improvement and working together as a team while developing a healthy lifestyle.
