Swim Access Program at West Cook YMCA

The West Cook YMCA offers a COMPLIMENTARY session in our swim access program which will include a swim assessment of all children and placed in an appropriate class based on swim level and the skills of the children. This program is designed to increase the opportunity for swimmers to have access to water safety and swim lessons to communities and families that typically do not have access to swim lesson programming.

Year-round. See page for exact session dates. (Feb/Mar; Apr/May; Jun/July; Sept/Oct/Nov)
