What families say

“I’m so glad I decided to learn to swim and conquer my fear.” — Patricia V., Pembroke Pines YMCA Family Center

“My son Samuel has been a participant in swim lessons for about 4 weeks and his favorite stroke is freestyle. Since starting swim lessons he is doing better with the mobility of his arms during backstroke. His favorite swim instructor is Joshua because of how excitable and engaging he is. Samuel's favorite part of swim lessons is when he gets to play on the surfboard at the end of the lesson.” — Micheli G., Greater Hollywood YMCA Family Center

“The swimming classes have been very helpful to my daughter. Both instructors- Tim and Alex - have been fantastic. The whole team at the pool is very attentive, kind, and always available to help.” — Kimberly D., Hallandale Beach YMCA Family Center
