SWIMMING TOWARDS SAFETY

SWIM LESSON CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Swim Lesson Schedule

AQUATICS Being healthy means more than simply being physically

active. It’s about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind

and body.

The Y is a place where you can work toward that balance

through participating in our aqua group fitness classes,

fostering connections with friends, or bringing your loved ones

closer together through our many family-centered activities.

At the Y, it’s not about the activity you choose as much as it is

about the benefits of living healthy on the inside as well as the

outside.
