The YMCA offers a wide range of swimming options for the whole family. Swimming builds self-confidence and develops the whole person – spirit, mind and body.

Water Aerobics
Water Aerobics is offered at the YMCA for anyone who loves water or who wants to be in better shape without having to produce strain on their joints and muscles.
Water-related exercises increase cardiovascular fitness as well as improve overall strength. The water provides support for the body, and the risk of muscle or joint injury is greatly reduced, if not completely eliminated. A great advantage in aquatic fitness activities is that both swimmers and non-swimmers can participate as it is only done in chest deep water. The water can allow up to 90% of your body weight to be supported, greatly reducing the strain on muscles bones and joints.
