Swimming & Aquatics

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.

Swim Lessons

The YMCA offers swim lessons for everyone! Swimmers learn water safety and swimming fundamentals as they progress through skill levels, meet their aquatic goals, and develop an appreciation for the sport.

Swim Team

The YMCA has a year-round swim team in the Huntsville/Madison area. Our swim team program offers coached practices and trains participants in competitive strokes and techniques. We will not be holding a competitive swim team this summer. We are currently developing programming for those children who would still like to swim this summer.
