Aquatics
We offer a unique continuous swim lesson
system. At the Y, you no longer need to scramble
every season to ensure your child gets a
convenient swim lesson time. We offer swim
lessons on a continuous basis and once you’ve
signed up and selected your spot, it’s yours to
keep.
This means you do not need to register every
season and you don’t have to worry about having
your slot taken by someone else. You can register
your child at any time and they can progress at
their own pace within a group.
• We help kids jump in, have fun, learn to swim
and grow their confidence.
• Our programs—from Bobbers to Stars—give
your kids the skills needed for a lifetime of safe
fun in the water.
• Membership makes it easy for families to be
active together with recreational swimming and
family swimming at convenient times.
• Membership includes all-day access to Aquafit
and lane swimming.
• For those 16 and older who have their Bronze
Cross, NLS or Star 6 accreditation already, we
offer a course in how to become a YMCASwim
Instructor.
MEND - Mind, Exercise,
Nutrition... Do It!
Trying to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle can
be challenging. With school, an abundance
of screen time and a busy family life, kids are
spending less time being active and as a result,
many are above a healthy weight.
Helping kids grow up strong and healthy is why
the YMCA exists. That’s why we offer MEND,
a provincially funded program that empowers
children and families to become fitter and
healthier.
This free and fun 10-week program supports
children ages 7-13 who are above a healthy
body weight to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Parents/
caregivers join their children in each session to
learn about how to choose healthier foods and
spend more time being physically active.
