Swim Lessons

America's Swimming Instructor Since 1885
In 1998, the YMCA revised its world famous swim instruction program to incorporate the latest research on learning. Whether a person is afraid of the water or eager to learn, caring YMCA Swimming Instructors emphasize safety, fun, and progressive learning success for each student that promotes a lifetime of fitness.

Parent-child classes starting as young as 6 months teach parents how to safely work with their child in the pool through hands on classes. Pre-school through adult classes are arranged by skill level, and some YMCAs also offer private, semi-private and special needs classes.

Don't forget to enroll your children in swim lessons! Register at the Front Desk. If you have any questions, please contact Marybeth Idoux at 719 481 8728 X 605.

Pool Chemistry

The Tri-Lakes YMCA pool uses ultra-violet (UV) light and chlorine to disinfect it’s pool. The UV light destroys bacteria, viruses, molds and yeast. We are the only pool in the Pikes Peak region that uses the UV system. Our chlorine level is typically between .5 and 1.0 parts per million. However, due to our UV system the smell of chlorine in the air is greatly reduced as is the general side effects of chlorine such as red irritated eyes.
