The YWCA has a comprehensive Aquatics program. The YWCA pool is 75 x 25 feet. The average temperature is 86-88 degrees Fahrenheit. The YWCA offers Red Cross Certified swimming instruction for all ages and levels. Please visit the YWCA Homepage for a description of all classes. All YWCA swim instructors are certified by the American Red Cross. Classes meet once a week. Please remember that it takes several sets of lessons to move up a level. It takes time to develop coordination and stamina. Classes must have at least five students registered. We cancel classes that do not meet this registration quota. For safety reasons, each class also has an upper limit. The YWCA cannot allow students to make up missed classes. For more information, visit www.ywcaofasheville.org.
