At the Cape Ann YMCA, we teach progressive swimming to over 200 children each week. We offer a large variety of classes for people ages 6 months through adulthood. Our lessons incorporate personal safety, self-rescue, boating safety, swimming skills and the YMCA core values.
With our 6-lane, 25-yard pool combined with Cape Ann's outdoor ocean amenities, we have enough water to meet our community's aquatic needs. Our seniors and adults alike enjoy our aqua aerobic classes 5 days a week, and we offer lots of aquatic specialty programs each and every session. Here are just some of the ongoing Aquatic programs we offer:

Member Benefits
- Adult Lap Swim: Lap swimming is a great way to get fit and stay in shape. We strive at the Cape Ann YMCA to provide lap lanes almost all of the time the YMCA is open. Please check the Pool Schedule for availability. Lap swim lanes are for individuals who are capable of swimming from one length of the pool to the other without stopping.
- Family Swim: Want to splash in the water together? Family swim time (Free to YMCA members) is for families to swim together in the pool. Lifeguards will perform swim tests to ensure that all swimmers are safe and secure in the water.
- Open Recreational Swim: Open to all YMCA members, children are allowed to swim without an adult as long as they are able to pass a swim safety test.
- Water Aerobics: Our free Water Aerobics classes offer participants the chance to get a great workout in the pool and tailor their experience to their fitness level. Offered at convenient times throughout the week, all Water Aerobics classes are drop-in and open to all YMCA members.
