SWIM LESSONS FOR FALL 2024 WILL BEGIN SEPTEMBER 3, 2024

Swimming is one of life’s most essential skills: the ability to swim can help save your life or someone else’s life while introducing you to a lifetime of healthy, enjoyable activity in the water.

Dive into confidence and skill with swim lessons, where qualified instructors provide personalized guidance in a safe and supportive environment. From beginner strokes to advanced techniques, our comprehensive program caters to all ages and abilities, fostering a lifelong love for swimming.

At the Duneland Family YMCA, our swim lessons help kids and adults of all ages and abilities develop the skills they need to become strong, confident swimmers.

Swim lessons will take place at The Healthy Living Campus (former Chesterton Middle School’s Pool), located at 651 W Morgan Ave, Chesterton, IN 46304, Door #11.
