"When we joined the YMCA we immediately made inquiries about private swimming lessons for our six 6 year old son with autism and by the grace of God, we were given one." - Eileen

Did you know that modern swim instruction was invented at the YMCA? Maybe that's why so many people have learned to swim at the Y, and continue to come back to enjoy our outstanding facilities.

Did you also know that modern swim safety programs were invented at the YMCA? That must be why so many people rely on the YMCA to keep their families safe.
