Swim

Whether you are a beginning swimmer or on your way to the Olympics, your Y is a great place to make a splash! 

As the largest provider of swim lessons in the country, there’s no one more qualified than the Y to ensure swimmers build confidence with every stroke. 

Teaching children how to be safe around water is not a luxury; it is a necessity. The YMCA of Greater Seattle is committed to removing barriers that limit all people from developing their full potential, and that includes being safe around water. 

Want to swim competitively in a fun and positive environment? Join the team! Serving ages 6 to adult, swim team participants improve individual skills while swimming competitively both at the local and national levels. Your coaches will focus on proper technique while you improve your endurance, learn teamwork and make friends.

The Y is proud to operate the outdoor pool each summer at Cottage Lake in Woodinville.

The course offers up-to-date information on how to lifeguard by anticipating and preventing problems before they occur and by taking action to help those in danger when necessary
