At the Y, we believe the ability to swim is a critical life skill that every individual should have the opportunity to learn. When you learn to swim, you gain confidence, acquire safety skills and experience water activities you can enjoy for a lifetime.
The Y introduced the country to group swim lessons over 110 years ago in 1909. Now, as one of the largest community-based organizations in the country, we teach more than a million children invaluable water safety and swimming skills each year. Every year our YMCA teaches over 1,200 children to swim in the Easley, Pickens & Powdersville communities.
