Aquatics
The YMCA of Greater Syracuse believes that aquatics is a life long activity. Our Aquatic departments are dedicated to offering a positive difference in people’s lives through offering a quality aquatic experience for all.
The aquatics departments and staff are driven to expand current and new programs and activities to promote the life-long activity of swimming. Our branches offer YMCA Swim Lessons, lap swim, open/recreation swimming and Water Fitness/Therapy.
Our well trained staff are caring, honest, respectful and responsible in meeting the YMCA mission. This is our promise…
- Our staff will constantly scan the pool so that we can recognize swimmers in distress within 10 seconds and provide assistance within an additional 10 seconds when needed.
- When our staff is on duty, they will remain focused on their primary responsibility of protecting lives and offering exceptional programming. We eliminate talking and doing other duties that prevent us from watching the pool or running our classes.
- Our lifeguarding staff will always wear a rescue tube and carry a mask and gloves, ready for use.
- Our lifeguarding staff will always sit in an elevated lifeguard chair or patrol at the edge of the pool to ensure the safety for all.
- Our staff will attend regular training events to practice our skills and stay on the cutting edge of aquatic safety.
- Our staff is here for you, the YMCA member and your safety. We will strive to make your visit to our YMCA pools enjoyable.
