Swim lessons, water aerobics, swim teams and more

The Fogelman YMCA offers year-round Swim Lessons, including Parent-Child, Preschool, Youth and Adult lessons. Both private and semi-private lessons are available.

For boys and girls ages 6–18, the Fogelman Downtown YMCA “Barracudas” Swim Team is a fun way to get exercise and make friends.

Make A Splash

The goal of the Make A Splash summer program is to teach students to become safety conscious around water, which can ultimately form a basis for accident prevention. The program is open to community groups such as local churches and Boy and Girl Scouts and has two main components:

• Free 45-minute swim lessons for under-privileged children Monday through Thursday during the months of June and July. 
• Free one-week youth swim lessons offered during the summer for qualifying non-profit organizations through the community outreach swim lesson program.

Since 2008, almost 700 children have participated in Make A Splash at the Fogelman YMCA.

Special Interest Class: Multiple Sclerosis Water Movement Class

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 2 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.

The Fogelman YMCA offers the only multiple sclerosis water movement class in the area. The water temperature of our pool is at a digital setting of 84 degrees, which helps those with MS keep their core body temperature cooler during exercise. To participate, simply show up for the class. Even if you do not have MS, we welcome you to join us.

Find the water aerobics class for you.
