Aquatics
Cardiac Rehab
Welcome to Aquatics at the Hensel Eckman YMCA! The Hensel Eckman YMCA has been teaching people to swim for more than a fifty years. In YMCA aquatics programs, participants learn to be safe around water and they feel the sense of accomplishment that comes with learning something new. Our aquatics programs use a problem-solving, guided-discovery teaching approach in a positive, caring environment. Kids as well as adults can develop lifelong skills that can help them stay healthy.
Swim lessons are only a small portion of what we do in aquatics. We also strive to keep our community involved with a variety of program and membership choices to get “all wet” in our pools! We also offer
Water Exercise Classes (free class for YMCA Facility Members)
Lap/Open Swim
Family Time
Lifeguarding Certification
The participants in our Child Care and After School programs also have the opportunity to swim twice a week for fitness and fun.
So no matter what your age, or your interest, you can always find something fun to do in Aquatics at the Hensel Eckman YMCA.
