A leader in aquatics for more than a century, the Y believes exercise in the water benefits all ages and fitness levels. We teach hundreds of children to swim each year - so they can enjoy the beauty of our coastal community, safely.

Working for Your Wellness

You can join anywhere, but EVERYbody belongs at the Y. We take the wellness of Northwest Florida personally and work hand-in-hand with you to help you reach your goals.

Creating Confidence

Kids Strengthen Muscles and More

In our youth programs, kids learn skills, but more importantly, they learn caring, honesty, respect and responsibility - plus the confidence to just be themselves.
