UPCOMING SWIM LESSONS
Enroll in swim lessons at the Olathe Family YMCA! Our programs are about more than just the techniques and skills. They are about nurturing swimming skills, developing self-esteem and creating positive experiences that will last a lifetime.
All lessons are 8 classes. Bring a swimsuit, towel and goggles (without a nose mask) to each lesson.
Disposable diapers are not allowed in the pool. Young children must wear a swim diaper and a swimsuit.
Registration is also available at the Welcome Center, or by calling 816.360.0531.
