Below is a list of classes offered throughout the YMCA of Metropolitan Denver Assocaiation. Please check with your location for specific classes, times and dates.

Adult Beginner Swimming
It is never too late to learn how to swim! Less than 50% of the adult population can swim 50 meters (two lengths of the pool) without stopping! Swimming is a low or non-impact exercise that utilizes all muscle groups, builds muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance and releases stress. What could be better? Classes are designed for beginning through intermediate levels. Learn to be more comfortable in the water, improve technique and endurance.

Adult Stroke Improvement
You know HOW to swim; you just need to get more efficient and faster. Or, learn a skill that will help you reach your swimming goals. Open to all adults who can swim a full lap of the pool – freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke, sidestroke, and elementary back stroke.

Adult Stroke Clinics
Come join us in the pool to improve your stokes! Expert coaching advice and goal setting; stroke drills and practice; address stroke technique though swim videos; personal video taping and review of the strokes may be included in the session. *A minimum of 3 participants needed to run the class.
