About
Swim Lessons is a program that offers swim lessons and adaptive swim as part of a larger set of youth programs that also include fitness classes, summer day camp, child watch, and music therapy. Annually, more than 600 children and adults participate in life-saving swim lessons, and almost 50 children with special needs participate in adaptive swim and music therapy each year.

The Athens YMCA has been a faithful part of the community since March 26, 1857. Its mission is to serve the Athens area through programs designed for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, and it states that the Y is for the entire community and is open to everyone. More than 250 volunteers donate their time each year, and more than $250,000 is contributed annually to programming and financial assistance for children, teens, adults, families and seniors. About 300 scholarships are awarded each year toward membership and youth programs, and over 4,000 children and teenagers are involved in summer day camp, youth programs, swim lessons and child watch throughout the year. One former staff member shared the testimonial that “the Athens YMCA is not a gym, it's a GEM!”
