Our swim school offers a comprehensive, stage-based program designed to help children develop their swimming skills and water safety knowledge. From beginners to advanced swimmers, each stage focuses on age-appropriate techniques and water safety practices, ensuring that children build confidence and competence in the water.

Greenwich Swim Club is a non-competitive program that offers children ages 8-12 an opportunity to work with certified USA swim coaches to improve their swimming skills and to build community by being part of a swim team-style environment.
Swimmers will learn to build strength, speed, and endurance while refining their stroke technique in a non-competitive environment.
Summer tryouts are by appointment only. If you are interested in joining swim club, please schedule a tryout by emailing swimschool@gwymca.org or visiting the front desk!
*There will be no Greenwich Swim Club practices during Winter and Spring Recess, but participants are welcome to join our swim clinics for a small additional fee.
If you are not a member of the YMCA of Greenwich, or have not taken a class within the last session at our facility, a swim evaluation is necessary. Registration without an evaluation will result in non-refund. Evaluations take approximately 5 minutes. No evaluation needed for children under 3 years old (i.e. Parent & Child Classes).
If you would like to schedule a swim evaluation, please contact our YMCA Swim School Team at swimschool@gwymca.org.
We are committed to ensuring any family, regardless of financial status, feels welcome to sign up for swimming lessons at the Y. It is important to us that all families in our community have access to learning critical water safety skills.
