Learning to swim builds confidence and self-esteem

water exercise can maintain lifelong fitness

If you grew up in Sioux Falls, it is very likely that your mother, father, grandparent, or great grandparent spent time in the YWCA pool.  We’ve been teaching people to swim for almost 90 years. Whether your child is starting her first swim lesson, or you're training for your next triathlon, we can help. And, if you want to turn your love of the water into a career, we can help with that too!

In YWCA aquatics programs, we teach people how to be safe in, on, as well as the skills of swimming. Children and adults can develop lifelong lessons for a healthy mind and body. YWCA aquatic programs include parent-child classes, preschool classes, youth and adult classes in group or private lessons.
