For young people with special needs, we offer swimming opportunities through our Y Challenger program. Choose between Swim Exploration and Swim Lessons. Swim Exploration, for ages 4-30, is designed to help participants gain confidence in the water.

Swimmers work on beginner water skills to help advance to lessons. Parent participation is recommended but not required. Swim Lessons, for ages 4-30, teach participants how to swim. Swimmers are grouped by ability and learn strokes and water skills in small groups from a certified instructor.
