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.
