The primary purpose of the American Red Cross Lifeguarding course is to provide entry-level lifeguard participants with the knowledge and skills to prevent, recognize and respond to aquatic emergencies and to provide professional-level care for breathing and cardiac emergencies, injuries and sudden illnesses until emergency medical services (EMS) personnel take over. This program offers a choice of Lifeguarding/First Aid/CPR/AED courses to meet the various training needs of a diverse audience.

The Henderson Family YMCA offers high-quality after school programming that nurtures the whole child with a blend of social-emotional learning, friendship building and enrichment activities that promote physical and mental health. Our programs are led by qualified staff who undergo rigorous background checks, training for child abuse prevention and awareness, and maintain an active certification for CPR/AED and First Aid. We're committed to partnering with our local schools and families to ensure that every child has the support they need to reach their full potential. Join us at the Y for our After School Care Program and let us help your student get their 2023/2024 school year off to a great start!

Group Swim Lessons

Swimming is a life-long skill that everyone can enjoy, regardless of age. Our goal is to help kids and adults overcome fears, build confidence in the water, learn water safety and develop skills that last a lifetime.  Our group swim lessons use a progression curriculum that will put swimmers on a clear track toward their goals. We focus on creating strong swimmers through customized skill development based on age, swimming ability, level of physical development and confidence in the water – each swimmer will advance to the next level when the necessary skills are acquired.
