Richardson Family YMCA Aquatics

Our Summer 2010 Aquatics season has ended.  We look forward to getting back in the water in May of 2011!  Check back with us in March for all the details!

The YMCA has been called "America's Favorite Swim Instructor" for over 100 years.  At the Y, not only will you learn how to swim, you’ll learn about yourself, about safety and rescue skills, and about water activities you can enjoy for a lifetime.  Throughout all levels, students are taught aquatic, boating safety and rescue skills.  

We also offer aquatics exercise classes and competitive swim programs for adults and youth. Class size is determined by both safety factors and age of participants and is closely monitored to ensure safety. Private lessons offer swimmers the opportunity to work one-on-one with our excellent instructors.  Classes are 30 minutes in length. All our instructors provide caring, personal instruction, and all are Red Cross certified.
