Aquatics Indoor Programs

The City of St. Thomas is proud to partner with the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario to provide
St. Thomas residents with access to indoor aquatic programming at the Family YMCA of
St. Thomas-Elgin. Through this partnership, residents can enjoy aquafit classes, swimming lessons, public swims, and inclusive private lesson opportunities at city rates with proof of
St. Thomas residency. Registration and purchase of aquatic lessons and passes must be completed in person at the YMCA St. Thomas-Elgin branch (20 High Street), as online and phone registration are not available. Please note that this program is offered during the months when Jaycee's Pool is closed, and does not run during July and August while the outdoor pool is in operation. Passes and lesson purchases are non-transferable and can only be used at the location where they were purchased.
