The pools at the New Canaan YMCA are filled with so much more than water. The Y is committed to ensuring that every child learns to swim, and we teach more than 1,000 of our community’s kids how to be safe, strong, and confident swimmers each year. Families come together for fun during open swims, and our warm pool also serves as a place for seniors and individuals with special needs to enjoy recreation, therapy, and socialization.
Our competition pool provides a healthy environment for over 550 student athletes as they build healthy habits and develop a sense of teamwork and self-confidence through our three year-long competitive aquatic teams; swimming, diving, and synchronized swimming. It is also the home to the New Canaan High School swimming and diving teams and provides a place for adults to maintain health and well-being through lap swimming, masters swim team, and multi-sport training.
