At the YMCA, we believe that swimming and aquatic fitness are for everyone. That’s why we offer a diverse range of adult aquatic programs designed to cater to all skill levels and fitness goals. Whether you’re looking to learn how to swim, stay fit, or join a community of swim enthusiasts, we have something for you.
Dive into Adventure. With the guidance of a certified PADI instructor, this program will be your gateway to exploring the underwater world. This course introduces participants to the fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive theory, equipment use, underwater communication and essential safety skills. Through a combination on e-learning, confined water practice and open water dives, participants gain confidence and competence in real diving environments. Upon completion of course participants will receive a PADI Open Water Diver certification valid for life- it does not expire. (Ages 12 and up)

Our adult swim lessons are designed for non-swimmers and swimmers ages 18 and older who want to be more comfortable in the water with proper strokes and breathing techniques. In adult lessons, swimmers will learn the skills needed to start swimming longer distances and feel comfortable in deep water without a floatation device.
Stay active and make a splash during the holiday break! Instead of committing to a full session, you can register for individual group swim classes. It’s a fun way to keep up swimming skills, stay moving, and enjoy time together while school is out.
