Swimming Lessons For All
To prevent youth drownings and ensure local families can enjoy a safe summer in the water, the YMCA of Greater Boston is offering over 400 children free swim lessons this Summer with funding generously provided by Enbridge, DCR, Yawkey, PHTA, USA Swimming and the Y of the USA. The free program will extend through the fall with additional lessons for 400 children.
Swimming lessons save lives. You can help the Y provide more swim lessons for youth and adults by making a donation to the YMCA of Greater Boston. Help us teach everyone how to be safe around water.

Deeply rooted in our community, it is the mission of the YMCA to make our programs affordable for all. Programs are available to all regardless of age, income, ability, race or religion. The demographic and personal information in this form is being collected as part of the grant requirements for reporting.
The YMCA of Greater Boston has embraced inclusivity by prioritizing registration for free swim lessons. The focus is on individuals who are beginners or non-swimmers and have not previously benefited from grant-funded lessons. By focusing on this group, the YMCA aims to bridge the gap for those who haven’t had the opportunity to access such vital training. Through this initiative, we are not only promoting water safety but also fostering an environment of equitable access to essential life skills, ensuring that everyone has the chance to learn and enjoy the lifesaving skill of swimming.
