Chilliwack Family YMCA
Aquatics
We believe every child should learn to
swim and be safe in and around the
water. That’s why YMCAmemberships
include continuous swim lessons that are
convenient and allow children to progress
at their own pace.
• We help kids jump in, have fun, learn to
swim and grow their confidence.
• Our programs—from Bobbers to Stars—
give your kids the skills needed for a
lifetime of safe fun in the water.
• Membership makes it easy for families
to be active together with recreational
swimming and family swimming at
convenient times.
• Membership includes all-day access to
Aquafit and lane swimming.
