Milwaukee YMCA is partnering with the Milwaukee County Department of Parks, Recreation and Culture to offer its day camps and swim lessons at several County Parks sites this summer.

Through its Milwaukee Swims initiative, which begins June 20, 2016, the Milwaukee Y will offer a reduced-cost package of nine swim lessons for $5 per individual and $10 per family at four County Parks sites.

These introductory classes are geared toward non-swimmers to learn basic swim skills and water safety, including how to recognize dangerous situations when in and around water environments. Lessons are available for children ages six and above, as well as non-swimming adults.
