Through swimming lessons, swim teams, lap swimming and more, the YMCA of the Greater Seattle provides a safe environment for swimmers of all ages and abilities. 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. Swimming at the Y helps people thrive - in and out of the water.
Whether you are a beginning swimmer or on your way to the Olympics, your Y is a great place to make a splash!
As the largest provider of swim lessons in the country, there’s no one more qualified than the Y to ensure swimmers build confidence with every stroke.
Teaching children how to be safe around water is not a luxury; it is a necessity. The YMCA of Greater Seattle is committed to removing barriers that limit all people from developing their full potential, and that includes being safe around water.
Want to swim competitively in a fun and positive environment? Join the team! Serving ages 6 to adult, swim team participants improve individual skills while swimming competitively both at the local and national levels.
