The Y has been the leader in swim instruction and water exercise for more than a century. Swim lessons at the Y give children the skills to be safe in the water, plus a sense of accomplishment from learning something new. Along with the new confidence of being able to swim, children will gain lifelong ways to stay healthy. We also share our Y core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility to help them enhance their life skills.
The Bear Levin Studer Family YMCA in Downtown Pensacola offers swim lessons throughout the year. The Betty J. Pullum Family YMCA offer lessons in the summer months.
See charts below for session and registration dates.
