Make a Splash This Summer.


Summer is the perfect time to get active, build confidence, and enjoy the water! Metro YMCA of Mississippi invites families to kick off the season with our Summer Swim Kickoff, celebrating aquatics, water safety, swim education, and family fun at the Y.


Whether your child is getting into the pool for the first time, developing stronger swimming skills, or ready to become a more confident swimmer, the YMCA offers aquatics programs designed for a variety of ages and skill levels.


Start Summer with Confidence in the Water


Swimming is more than a recreational activity—it's an important lifelong skill. At Metro YMCA, our aquatics programs focus on helping swimmers become more comfortable and confident in the water while developing skills that promote safer swimming.


The Summer Swim Kickoff is a great opportunity for families to discover everything available through YMCA aquatics, including:

  • Youth and family swim lessons

  • Water safety education

  • Beginner through advanced swim instruction

  • Recreational and open swimming

  • Lap swimming

  • Aquatic fitness opportunities

  • Indoor and outdoor pool activities


Swim Lessons for Every Stage


Every swimmer starts somewhere. YMCA swim programs are designed to meet participants at their current ability level and help them progress through instruction, practice, encouragement, and experience.


From learning basic water comfort and safety to improving strokes and swimming technique, our goal is to help participants develop skills, confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for the water.


Water Safety Starts Early


Water safety is an important part of preparing for summer. Trips to the pool, vacations, lake days, and other warm-weather activities mean children may spend more time around water.

Metro YMCA is committed to helping families understand water safety while giving children opportunities to develop the skills they need to feel more prepared and confident around the water.


Family Fun at the Y


Summer is also about making memories together. YMCA aquatics provide families with opportunities to stay active, cool off, spend quality time together, and connect with other members of the community.


The Summer Swim Kickoff is the perfect way to discover available programs and start planning an active summer at the Y.
