Aquatics

Our Youth Swim Lessons promote water safety, develop swimming skills, and inspire a passion for aquatic sports. Designed for all levels, from beginners to advanced swimmers, our progressive lessons prioritize safety, confidence, and enjoyment, ensuring children stay active and love the water all year long.

We offer a number of aquatic offerings for adults at the YMCA of Greenwich, including adult swim lessons, Aqua Fit classes, Masters Swim, and dedicated lap swim sessions. Whether you’re learning to swim, staying fit with water workouts, or training competitively, our programs cater to all levels and interests, ensuring you stay safe and engaged in the water.

Whether you’re seeking one-on-one attention or prefer a small group setting, our personalized, private and semi-private swim lessons cater to your specific goals and skill level. From beginners learning basic strokes to advanced swimmers refining techniques, our experienced instructors focus on safety, skill development, and building confidence in a supportive environment.

We are proud to offer adaptive swim lessons led by our highly trained and compassionate staff, certified by Swim Angelfish. Through the Swim Whisperers® Adaptive Aquatics Training, our instructors are equipped to teach individuals with special needs, confidently guiding swimmers of all abilities toward swim success.

The YMCA of Greenwich is home to three prestigious and nationally ranked teams: Marlins Dive Club, Marlins Swim Team, and Greenwich Aquatics Water Polo. As the premier aquatics facility in the area, we boast over 500 dedicated athletes who proudly represent the YMCA. Many of our athletes advance to compete at the collegiate level, showcasing their talent and hard work nurtured within our supportive and competitive environment.

In partnership with the American Red Cross, our lifeguard training classes provide essential skills and certifications in lifeguarding, CPR, first aid, and AED use. Taught by experienced instructors, these classes ensure participants are well-equipped to maintain safety in aquatic environments and respond effectively to emergencies. 

In partnership with Greenwich Public Schools, our Safety Around Water program helped to evaluate the water safety skills of over 600 4th graders and provided free lessons to those identified as lacking water safety skills. This program is aimed at helping children in our coastal community learn essential water safety skills, which can open up a world of possibilities for them to satisfy their curiosity safely.
