End-of-Year Swim Days We’re excited to welcome local schools for end-of-year swim celebrations at the Y! During the times listed below, our pool and locker rooms will be busier than usual, and the pool may reach capacity:
June 5 | 1:00–3:00 PM | ~50 students

Thank you for your patience and support as we help local students wrap up their school year with a splash!

Ensuring a safe environment for everyone the Skagit Y serves—particularly children—is central to our mission, reputation, and success as a youth-focused organization. Through the Safety Around Water program and swim lessons, the Skagit Y equips our community, including those at the highest risk of drowning, with critical water safety and swimming skills each year.

Beyond safety, the Skagit Y integrates youth development and leadership by offering lifeguard training, which provides essential career skills and often serves as a first job for many young people.

In addition, our Aquatics Program offers water-based exercise opportunities, which has been proven in numerous studies to maintain and enhance physical function in older adults, underscoring the importance of accessible aquatic programs for all ages.
