At the YMCA, we believe everyone should learn to swim. Currently, the Y is excited to offer Spanish-spoken swim lessons as well as lessons for the deaf or hard of hearing.

Please review the Aquatics Program Frequently Asked Questions page using this link: Aquatics FAQ's


Swim Lessons for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing

A certified Y swim instructor will lead this class offered specifically for children who are deaf or hard of hearing with the help of an ASL interpreter. Depending on how your child feels comfortable in the water, Y swim lessons will build a foundation of water safety and confidence before expanding specific swim skills like strokes.


For more information, email Eastside Family Y Aquatics Director Roslyn Burroughs.

Swim Lessons in Spanish

A certified Y swim instructor will lead each of these classes offered to children ages 3-6 and 6-12 with a Spanish translator. Like our swim lessons taught in English, depending on their age and level, each child will build a foundation of water safety and confidence before expanding to specific swim skills like strokes, kicks, and stamina.


For more information, email Caine Halter Family Y Aquatics Director Sean VanVelsor.
