Aquatics

Swimming is a vital skill that makes life safer and more fun. Every child should learn how to swim for safety, fitness and a positive self-image. Lessons are developmentally appropriate and designed to teach skills effectively with safety as the top priority. Over the years, at the Madison Area YMCA, we have taught thousands of children, teens and adults to swim, which has helped to minimize the risk of drowning in our community. Classes include Parent/Child through Adult swimming instruction.

Ready to make a splash with our outdoor aquatics offerings? Our team has been hard at work developing plans for our members at our partner pool at the Summit Area YMCA.
 
Read below for exciting updates regarding Lap Swim, Masters Adult Swim Program, Aqua Zumba group exercise classes and Mariners Competitive Swim Team. For everyone's safety, a lifeguard will be on duty throughout all of our aquatics offerings. See you at the pool!

For more information on our current aquatics offerings, please contact Competitive Aquatics Director  Jon Siegel by email or at 973-822-9622 x2228.

Aqua Zumba

Aqua Zumba® blends the Zumba® philosophy with water resistance, for one pool party you shouldn't miss! There is less impact on your joints during an Aqua Zumba class so you can really let loose. Water creates natural resistance, which means every step is more challenging and helps tone your muscles. Join us at our partner pool at the Summit Area YMCA.

Family Center Indoor Pool Update

 
We regret that we are not able to continue offering lap swimming or other Aquatics programs in our Family Center pool this summer. Thankfully, the closure is not related to the pandemic but rather to our Family Center expansion project. Keep reading our Family Center Indoor Pool Closing announcement here.

We are building for the future and that includes updating our existing pool. As we continue to solidify the steel in order to connect the new structure to our existing one, we anticipate our current pool, which will serve as our warmer water pool, will reopen in the spring. Looking for ways to get in the water now? We encourage our members to visit our partner pool at the Summit Area YMCA. Click here to learn more about our Family Center Expansion Project.
