Swim lessons help children, youth, and adults build water confidence, improve swimming skills, and learn important water safety techniques. We provide structured, strength-based instruction for all skill levels, including parent and tot, private, and semi-private options. Programming availability varies by centre location.
Enjoy a continuous swim time throughout the year with our continuous lesson model, allowing students to advance based on skill rather than a set timeframe. From parent and tot classes to personalized private and semi-private instruction, we offer expert-led training for every age and ability.
Instead of signing up for short sessions that fill up quickly, our continuous model keeps things simple. You choose a weekly time that works for your family and keep it for as long as you need. No need to re-register every few weeks.
Available at select centres.
At the Y, there is always something happening! From aquafit and fitness classes to Child, Youth, and Family programs, and from youth team sports to seasonal favorites like summer day fun and birthday parties, we offer a diverse range of activities to keep you moving.
Please Note: Program offerings and schedules vary by location, and not all programs are available at every centre. We are constantly striving to expand our programming across all regions to better serve our communities.
