Ymca aquatics -ymca aquatic programs are part of the y's overall goal of building healthy spirit, mind, and body. In addition to providing specific swimming and water safety skills, they promote good health through regular exercise. They also promote teamwork, self-confidence, and leadership. These programs are offered at fees affordable to the community at large, with financial assistance for those who can't afford the full fee. Residing in an area full of lakes and rivers, people in this community could be subject to traumatic incidents around water. Our aquatic programs help prevent deaths and injuries.
