Free Swim Lessons Available Through NY SWIMS
July 31, 2026
Thanks to funding provided through Governor Kathy Hochul's NY SWIMS Initiative and the New York State Department of Health, the YMCA of Long Island is offering free swim lessons to help more children gain lifesaving water safety and swimming skills.
This initiative is designed to expand access to swim lessons for children who may otherwise face barriers to participation. Program availability and eligibility are determined locally based on community needs, available capacity, and grant guidelines.
To learn more about lesson availability or determine if this opportunity is a good fit for your family, please contact our Aquatics Director, Christina Frank.
