SWIMMING

Swimming is great exercise, a challenging sport, effective therapy, a valuable life skill, and just plain fun. The Greater Wichita YMCA has been teaching our community to swim since 1885 and, each year, we teach thousands of our neighbors - from infants through active older adults - how to be more comfortable and confident near and in the water, and how to start and improve swimming skills. We offer:

• Basic and Advanced Water Safety
• Swim Lessons (Group, Small Group, and 1:1 Sessions)
• Swim Clubs and Competitive Swim Teams
• Lifeguard Certification Courses
• Birthday Parties and Private Events
• Much More

Greater Wichita YMCA members can enjoy unlimited use of our open swim / open pool times and water-based group exercise classes as well as discounts on all programs and activities in the water. Members and those with Guest Passes can enjoy:

• 9 Indoor Family Pools (many with walk-in areas, toddler place spaces, and other family-friendly features)
• 9 Indoor Lap / Lane Pools for fitness swimming and technique improvement
• 9 Hot Tubs for relaxing
• 4 Outdoor Water Parks (Open Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend)
