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 David.

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, Solaris Anderson.

Youth Swim Lessons – October 2020 Flyer

We are bringing back our swim lessons with caution and anticipation.  They will look different at this time and follow all the safety guidelines established by the CDC, NCDHSS, Red Cross and Y USA.  We will still provide the best swim lessons, with qualified/trained/fun instructors.  We ask you to read below and direct any questions to David McDevitt – Aquatics Director – dmcdevitt@acymca.org

Here’s what you need to know

• Any classes without a parent in the water will have 3 swimmers:1 Instructor ratio. Classes with a parent in the water will be allowed 4 swimmers:1 instructor.
• When you arrive for your visit
  • Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes prior to the start of your class. At this time there will be no locker rooms available.Bathrooms at the pool will be open, but should not be used for changing.Swimmers should come in their swim suit and leave in their swim suit.
  • Please come with only 1 viewer for your visit; the fewer people the better.Everyone entering the door will be screened and only allowed in if symptom free.
  • If your child typically swims with goggles, please have your own goggles.Per Governor’s order to promote the best sanitary conditions, we will not be borrowing/lending goggles.
  • Hyper cleaning will remain in place.
  • Parent/Child, Pre-School and Youth Level 1 & 2 will require a household member 15 & over to work with the swimmer.Level 3 and higher will be utilizing lake pads or teaching from the deck for safety and social distancing between the instructor and swimmers.
  • We will screen all employees daily for fever. Any team member that is not feeling 100% healthy will stay at home. Please be understanding if this causes us to change your instructor. Our priority is to keep you healthy and it is best for our employee to recover at home.
  • Please only come to class if your swimmer is 100% healthy. If they are feeling even a little “under the weather,” stay home. If your swimmer or anyone in your house is showing signs of illness, DO NOT COME TO SWIM CLASS.
  • At the end of the class, you are asked to leave immediately so we can clean the pool area for the next group.

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. For more information, email David or download our flyer.
