Swim Lessons

Summertime means pool time for many kids (and adults, too)! But the Chambersburg YMCA offers the only year-round swim lessons in Franklin County. As we venture to our favorite spots to swim, play and create lasting memories, the Chambersburg Memorial YMCA reminds swimmers to practice safety when in or around the water.
As part of our commitment to strengthen community through youth development and healthy living, the Y offers a variety of swim programs that teach water safety skills and give kids and adults the chance to explore the many health benefits of swimming.
“Swimming is a fun and enjoyable activity for children and adults alike," said Angi Johnson Aquatic Director at the Chambersburg Memorial YMCA, "and it’s an easy way to stay physically active and improve strength, flexibility and stamina. The Y encourages all kids and adults to learn how to swim. It’s never too late. Basic swimming skills and water safety practices save lives every day.”
There are a variety of programs to choose, including swim lessons for Parents and Tots, Preschoolers, Youth, Teens and Adults, and water aerobics.  To ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate, financial assistance is available to those in need to help cover the costs. To learn more about the Chambersburg Y’s swim programs, please contact Angi Johnson at 717-263-8508, ajohnson@chbgy.org.
