Swimming
Swimming is a life skill as well as great exercise and a challenging sport. Y’s offer swim lessons (for all ages), family swim, competitive swim teams, and more so we can all safely enjoy the pleasures of an aquatic environment.
The YMCA of Greater Montgomery also offers a summer swim league as well as the year-round competitive Barracudas swim team.

We provide all youth the opportunity to participate in a year round competitive USA/ YMCA Swimming sports team that is dedicated to building athletes who are committed, have strong character, and show great attitude.
