Aquatics

The mission of the YBAC is to offer competitive swimming opportunities to all Alamance County residents while developing the traits of integrity, self-esteem, and caring through the sport of swimming.  A link to the complete YBAC page can be found below.  For more information, please email ybac@acymca.org.

The goal of our Swim Lesson Program is to help individuals build their self-confidence through learning the necessary skills to be safe in and around the water for a lifetime.  Here at the Y, we believe swimming is a life skill as well as a great exercise for all ages.  For more information, download our Flyers below or email our Swim Lesson Coordinator.

Nestled in the beautiful wooded acres of southern Alamance County, our 25 yard summer outdoor pool is the place to cool off on summer nights and weekends!  Toddlers have their own play area - just 2 feet deep, and the more adventurous can dive for objects or play “Sharks & Minnows” in our 11 feet deep end.  Adults will have just as much fun, whether they're playing with the kids, lounging on the deck, or swimming laps.  Vending machines and bathrooms are conveniently located just off the pool deck.
