Youth Aquatics

In YMCA of Southwest Illinois youth aquatic programs, children learn to be safe around the water and they feel a sense of accomplishment that comes with learning something new.  The YMCA is America’s number one swim instructor and has been teaching people to swim for over a century.  Swim lessons are available for ages six months and up. We are committed to teaching you and your child how to be safe around the water- click here for a list of tips!

For competitive swimmers, check out our swim teams.  YOSI Seals meet at the East Belleville Center and O'Fallon Center and HTCY Seadogs meet at the Monroe County YMCA- HTC Center.
