    Swimming & Aquatics

    Dive into Our Aquatics Programs

    To some, the YMCA is virtually synonymous with swimming—and for good reason. Since the first YMCA swimming pool opened in 1885, we’ve been a pioneer in swimming education. Today, the YMCA has literally taught millions of people to swim and is the largest collective operator of swimming pools in the world.

    Child Care

    Child Care & Preschool at the Y

    Today’s busy families need a safe place for children to stay or play after school, during summer vacation, over spring and Christmas break, and occasionally for Mom and Dad to have a day or an evening to themselves.

    Additionally, the Heart of the Valley YMCA operates three licensed daycare and Alabama First Class Pre-K programs at YMCA Early Childhood Education Centers located in the Huntsville area.
