Gallatin Valley YMCA Swim Programs
Aquatics at the YMCA
Even without a pool of our own, the Gallatin Valley YMCA is deeply committed to water safety and swimming education. Through community partnerships, we’re able to offer quality swim lessons that teach essential life-saving skills, build confidence, and promote lifelong fitness. Drowning is preventable — and learning to swim is one of the most important ways we can protect our kids and strengthen our community.
Parent & Me Lessons
Make a splash together! Our Mommy & Me Swim Lessons create special bonding moments while helping little swimmers feel safe and happy in the water.
New! Parent & Tot Aquatics at the YMCA!
Our new Mommy & Me Swim Classes are the perfect way to introduce your little one to the water in a safe, fun, and supportive environment! Designed for ages 6 months to 3 years, these sessions focus on water comfort, parent-child bonding, and early swim skills through songs, games, and gentle instruction. Led by caring YMCA instructors at the Montana State University Pool, families will learn foundational water safety while building confidence and trust—one splash at a time.
