Make a Splash at the Y
Dive right into one of our aquatic programs at the Owensboro Family YMCA in Owensboro, KY
Swimming has the ability to tone your muscles and reduces stress. By signing up for one of our aquatic programs at the Owensboro Family YMCA, you get the opportunity to build confidence in the water whether it's through lap swimming, water aerobics, or swim lessons for all ages.
Our swim lesson programs help children and adults learn about water safety, develop water stamina, and discover stroke mechanics. Developing these lifelong skills helps people learn to swim but most importantly, keeps them safe in and around the water.
