The Y strives to help everyone learn how to swim
SWIM FEST!
We are thrilled to bring back Swimfest LIVE in partnership with News 4 Tucson Lifesaver in 2023. Events like these help keep our community safe and allow us to continue our commitment to educating our community about water safety. This is a FREE event for children 6 months (with their guardian) to 14 years. Participants will attend a 30-minute in-water lesson that focuses on water safety. Families can register their children for swim lessons during the event.
Group Swim Lessons
Drowning can happen nearly anywhere with standing water — but as a guardian, you can’t keep your kids sidelined. By equipping children with the tools they need to be confident in and around water, they’ll be able to reap the health benefits of exercise, bond with family and friends, and take pride in their new skills — safely.
