We have many pool offerings at the Simi Valley Family YMCA and the Yarrow Family YMCA. Learn more about what is offered, the schedules and how to make reservations!

As the community's leader in swim instruction, the Southeast Ventura County YMCA delivers swim lessons and water safety instruction to more than 1,000 children every year, helping swimmers of all ages gain confidence in the water, overcome fears and build skills to last a lifetime.

Safety Around Water is free drowning-prevention program that we offer to the community. Drowning can happen nearly anywhere with standing water — but as a parent or caregiver, you can’t keep your kids sidelined. By equipping kids with the tools they need to be confident in and around water, they’ll be able to reap the health benefits of exercise, bond with family and friends and take pride in their new skills — safely.
