The YMCA is the place where the children of America learn to swim. At the Warren County YMCA, we believe that every child has the right to learn to swim. To keep kids in our community safe, we offer swimming lessons from trusted experts. Our goal is to teach young people the fundamentals of different strokes while building their confidence and self-esteem in the water. Additionally, we instruct students in the safety and rescue skills they need to protect themselves and their peers.
At the Y, we happily teach swim lessons year-round in our indoor pool. After graduating from our lesson program, children can participate in our swim teams.
