From aquatics to fitness, find the program that’s right for you.

Aquatics

The Y has taught generations of families how to swim and stay fit. Our nationally certified instructors teach progressive, skill-based swim lessons for all ages, from infants to seniors, with a focus on water safety, swim readiness, and stroke development. For swimmers ready to take it further, our competitive Swim Team (ages 6-18) works with trained coaches to build skills, endurance, and a healthy lifestyle — mastery of strokes isn’t required to join, just a foundation in basic water safety skills.

Specialty Wellness Programs

Beyond our regular group fitness classes, we offer specialty programs designed around specific needs. LIVESTRONG® at the Y is a free 12-week program that helps adult cancer survivors rebuild physical and emotional strength through small-group personal training. Our Parkinson’s PWR (Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery) program meets twice a week with certified instructors to improve flexibility, balance, coordination, and quality of life. Also, click here to learn more about our Heart program! To book a personal training session or learn more about either program, reach out to our Wellness Department.
