Aquatics
By signing up for one of the Owensboro Family YMCA aquatic programs, you get the opportunity to build confidence in the water. You may be starting to swim, wanting your children to learn, or want to grow your skills. We have programs for all ages and stages. Click the buttons below or scroll down the page to learn more.
Water activities offer multiple benefits such as:
- Improved flexibility, muscular strength and endurance in a low impact environment
- Improves muscle symmetry (Because of the antagonist and agonist muscles working in opposition)
- Speeds up metabolism due to the hydrostatic pressure
- Improves viscosity in the joints thereby enhancing mobility, especially for those with osteoarthritis
For questions, contact our Aquatic Director at Hope@owensboroymca.org or by calling (270) 926-9622 .

The Y wants all families to be water-ready, which is why we offer this FREE program to second graders in Owensboro and hosts safety around water events throughout the year. In this class, the Y teaches children of all ages and from all backgrounds that water should be fun, not feared, if you know how to stay safe in and around water.
The Y will host local schools from September 8th - October 10th. To find out more about this program, email the Aquatics Director at hope@OwensboroYMCA.org.
