Swim Lessons and Swim Team To Come...

While the Brooks branch is in the process of establishing a swim lessons program and swim team, please visit other branches for programs already in progress.

The YMCA provides instructional swimming programs for all ages, ability levels and interest. These programs lay a foundation and instill guidelines for a lifetime of safe, healthy participation in any aquatic environment. All YMCA instructional aquatic programs are led by trained, certified YMCA instructors. Visit our Aquatics Page for information: http://www.firstcoastymca.org/wellness/wellness_aquatics.htm

Lap lanes are always available for swimming at your own pace. We also hold many of our group aquatic exercise classes in this pool, but lap lanes are always kept open.
