Swimming is one of the best forms of exercise there is for people of all ages. Not only is it a healthy activity, but it’s a valuable life skill as well. Whether as a sport or just for fun, swimming is a great activity to dive into.
Since 1885, the Greater Wichita YMCA has been teaching our community to swim. Each year, we teach thousands of our neighbors - from infants through active older adults - how to start and improve swimming skills to be more comfortable and confident near and in the water.

- 9 Indoor Family Pools
- 9 Indoor Lap / Lane Pools
