Adult Swim Lessons
Learn to swim for fun, for health, and for safety
Whether you learned to swim as a child but need a refresher, want to improve your current skills, or are brand new to the water, the Ridgewood Y is here to help you learn to swim in a supportive environment.
Swimming is an indispensable life skill that opens up opportunities for recreation, health—and most importantly—safety. Swimming is a low-impact, full-body exercise that improves cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and joint mobility. Learning to swim significantly enhances confidence and safety by teaching essential water survival skills that can prevent drowning.
