If you feel like you may have missed the boat in learning how to swim earlier in life, you may be delighted to know that it’s not too late. Swim lessons at the Door County YMCA opened for members on Monday and on Wednesday for non-members. There are a variety of levels for swim lessons, one of which is for adults. 

Aquatics Associate Nicole Shepherd says a lot of people aren’t aware of adult swim lessons. Shepherd understands that some adults are nervous in admitting that they don’t know how to swim, but says in her experience teaching adult courses they are glad they finally did. 

Shepherd also notes that the confidence built-in swimming pairs well with being in Door County, where we’re surrounded by water.
