YMCA Swim School takes a safety-first approach, focusing on small class sizes, boosting confidence in the water, building student/instructor relationships, and allowing each student to progress at their own pace. Our lessons develop aquatic readiness, engage in underwater exploration, and teach children important water safety skills. The YMCA provides weekly lap swims, open swims, swim lessons, water exercise classes, and adaptive swim time. Each year, over 5,000 youth learn the vital skill of swimming. The Fercho YMCA pool has been the home of the FM Gators swim team for over 50 years.
