Swimming at the Y helps people thrive - in and out of the water.  Swim lessons provide youth with the opportunity to set goals and achieve success, as well as learn water safety.  Youth can take their swim skills to the next level by joining the Sharks Swim Team.  Aqua aerobics and lap swimming are excellent ways to stay healthy and is free with your membership.  And, open swim is fun for everyone.  The Shasta Family YMCA is committed to providing a safe environment for swimmers of all ages and abilities.
