Aquatics

Swim year-round at the YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South

With six indoor pools and five outdoor pools, YMCA branches collectively are the leading providers of year-round swimming opportunities in the Mid-South. And through joint efforts between the YMCA and other youth service organizations, hundreds of children are introduced to swimming and water safety every year.

Through corporate and private donations, we are teaching basic aquatic safety and swimming skills to the communities who needed it most with our SPLASH and DEWS programs, swim lessons and teams. Serving the senior community, the pools of the Y have been a safe, fun and sustainable form of exercise and camaraderie through SilverSplash®, water aerobics and swim lessons.

YMCA aquatics programs include:

  • Youth & adult swim lessons
  • Water-safety lessons
  • Swim teams
  • Water aerobics
  • Arthritis water exercise
  • Rehabilitation therapy through Saint Francis Hospital Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation Centers
