Sports
Selecting a sport program to participate in can be as simple as selecting one you have enjoyed as a fan. However, sometimes it makes sense to think through about your fitness goals and what you enjoy doing. Sports offer the opportunity to participate individually or as a team. Each sport challenges the participant in different ways through endurance, speed, mental toughness, teamwork, strength, coordination and countless other ways.
- Sports Classes - In the YMCA sports classes, we focus on skill development and strengthening those skills throughout the duration of the sports program.
- Team Sports and Leagues - YMCA leagues are not just another sports program. We have a mission, and that mission is that safety is our number one concern. Through our leagues, our athletes play equal time, while playing fair with positive competition, family involvement and participating in fun sports for all.
- Sports Clinics and Camps - YMCA sports clinics are geared to help athletes develop specific
skills in particular sports. When participating in clinics at the YMCA
participants are sure to improve on skills, make friends and have fun.
Clinics at the YMCA are great lead up for participating in a class or
league setting at the YMCA. Everyone plays, learns and wins in sports
clinics at the YMCA.
YMCA sports camps offer an extended opportunity similar to a clinic. Sports camps are a fantastic chance to focus on skill improvement in a short concentrated burst. A sport camp can help you quickly enhance your understanding and endurance. It is also a great way to try out a sport without committing to a whole season.
Swimming
Through various aquatic programs, the Y not only helps develop swimming and water safety skills, but also focuses on members' needs, as well as those of the community. From preschoolers to adults, overcoming fear of the water and developing water and swimming skills are rewarding. And, it promotes better health as a physical activity that can be performed throughout life.
- Water Fitness - Water fitness classes are for individuals of every age, held in both shallow and deep water. All classes are led by our YMCA-certified water fitness instructors.
- Swim Lessons - The YMCA Swim Lessons Program has two main components: Parent/Child and Preschool Aquatic Program and Youth and Adult Aquatic Program. The first is for children under the age of five and their parents; the second is for children ages 6 and up, as well as adults and people with disabilities.
- Pool Rental - Everybody in the pool! If you are looking for a splash-tastic time, the pool is available during open swim time as well as after hours. Lifeguards and a building supervisor will be provided. Several facilities also have inflatables available. Please contact your local Y for details.
- Recreational Swimming - We offer a wide variety of recreational programs for all ages and abilities. All of our programs are built on both solid research in the field of aquatics, as well as our four core values — caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith.
- Swim Teams - YMCA swim team is for swimmers ages 5-21. The team offers developmental instruction, age-group training, advanced conditioning, and in-depth technique and skill analysis. The YMCA participates in the Great Lakes YMCA Zone Conference, which includes YMCA teams and USA teams in the Northwest Ohio area.
