Swimming motivates people to strive for self-improvement, teaches goal orientation and cultivates a positive mental attitude and high self-esteem. The YMCA is a leader in teaching swimming. Thousands of individuals in Canada have been taught to swim through nationally-accredited YMCA swim programs.
