Testimonial:

"The Level 3 swim program put on at the YWCA has been part of my weekly routine for almost 15 years. The level of teaching and coaching is of the highest level and seamlessly designed for swimmers of all abilities. As important as the teaching and coaching are, the swimmers and coaches have formed close bonds which has extended outside the pool with social outings and even swim competitions. The programs challenge all while adding fun to the process. Thank you to the YWCA team and to all involved for creating and scheduling a program that include substantial benefits for all involved."
