Free Swim Lessons Available Through NY SWIMS
Thanks to funding provided through Governor Kathy Hochul's NY SWIMS Initiative and the New York State Department of Health, Watertown Family YMCA will soon be offering free swim lessons to help more children gain lifesaving water safety and swimming skills.
This initiative is designed to expand access to swim lessons for children who may otherwise face barriers to participation. Program availability and eligibility vary and are determined locally based on community needs and available capacity.
More information about program dates, registration, and eligibility coming this fall.
