The Y is more than a fitness center, a place to swim or play basketball. The Y is a community of people of all ages, abilities, and incomes who come together to live healthier. The Y provides programs and services that transform lives for people of any age or ability.
Aquatics
Being a member at the YMCA is about more than just fitness; it’s about building the whole person from the inside out. No matter the age or swimming ability, the Y is where many will begin and continue their fitness journey through a wide range of aquatic activities.
Lessons
At the Y, we offer group swimming lessons for children of any age or skill level. We have five different levels of classes, so your child can progress appropriately without feeling overwhelmed or intimidated.
We also offer private swimming lessons to accommodate better children or adults who may need more one-on-one time or feel more comfortable that way rather than in a group setting.
If you’re interested in signing up for swimming lessons, please reach out to [email protected], or call 304.340.3527 ext 1131.
Swim Team
The YMCA of Kanawha Valley also has our very own competitive swim team. The Kraken Swim Team’s number one goal is to instill the enjoyment of swimming and team camaraderie in our swimmers. As a result, kids will improve their swimming abilities and self-confidence while having fun with a team of their peers.
Aquatic Fitness
Our aquatic programs aren’t limited to just children! We also host water aerobic classes every weekday and open swim options every day of the week.
For more information on any of our aquatic programs or detailed hours for specific programs, look at the Swim Aquatics page of our website.
Tennis
The YMCA of Kanawha Valley offers both leagues and individualized instruction in tennis. You can also reserve one of our five tennis courts for yourself!
For more information, check out our tennis page or call 304-340-3527 to ask questions or reserve a court.
