Get Ready for Safe Summer Fun

Safe confident swimmers start at the Y. Sign up now for swim lessons.

There is a list of basic life skills all parents instinctively know they must teach their children to keep them safe and healthy. It includes habits like looking both ways before crossing the street, washing your hands with soap and water and eating the right amount of fruits and vegetables every day. For too many parents, safety in and around water is not on the list; and that’s something we need to change.

Learn to swim now and be ready for summer fun at the beach and pool. Sign up for swim lessons at the Meriden YMCA. These classes are just one of the many swim programs that more than a million people, from toddlers to adults, take advantage of at the Y’s more than 2,000 pools across the country.
