The Swimfit sessions offer you an effective alternative way to exercising and if you want to lose weight, improve your swimming techniques or focus your training and your goals – Swimfit is definitely for you.

Swimfit is designed to keep you motivated by offering a varied programme of structured Swimfit workouts in a training group environment. Improve your distance, time, technique and knowledge with an enthusiastic, fully qualified fitness team.

Plus Swimfit is a challenging programme for advanced swimmers also.

What is Swimfit?

Swimfit is the official programme devised by the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) and their team of experts to help you get more out of your swimming sessions by offering specially designed workouts for you to follow in the water.

We’ve now built this ASA programme into our swimming programmes at Fleetwood YMCA, Poulton YMCA, Garstang YMCA and St Annes YMCA Pool & Gym and included it in our Premium Y:Active Memberships and our new Y:Active Aqua Full membership!

How can I take part in Swimfit?

There are 2 ways for members and non-members to participate in the Swimfit Programme.

1. You can attend one of the timetabled Swimfit sessions where you will be joined by other participants and a YMCA Swimfit Coach, much like a class or group session. The coach will work with you to understand your goals and help you choose the appropriate level and programme to follow. The coach will then assist you with your swimming technique, breathing and elements of your programme to ensure you enjoy it and make the most of your session.
