Adult Aquatics
The main pool and the warm pool at the Greensburg YMCA have been a landmark for all of Greensburg to enjoy, and we are excited to continue that tradition. The main poo is a 6-lane, 25 yd pool that offers lap swimming, circle swimming, aquatic group exercise, swim lessons, and our Greensburg YMCA Swim Teams. The warm water pool is kept around 90 degrees and offers our many different aquatic group exercise classes to help loosen up those aching joints and bones, including our Happy Hinges classes as well as our youth swim lessons. No matter your swimming experience, the warm water pool is a great place to start. For more information about adult aquatics, please contact our Aquatics Director, Kris Peters, at [email protected] or (724) 834-0150 Ext. 139.
Group Exercise
Intensity:
The intensity of our group exercise classes vary from one class to another. We relate our intensity to the amount of physical exertion that an individual will feel during a class.
We provide general guidelines for these intensity levels; however they can vary on the individual’s fitness levels.
Low Intensity: This level is for those who are ready to begin their fitness journey. Classes will ease the body back into an active lifestyle, for those who have a higher activity level; this class can still be used as a recovery exercise session.
Moderate Intensity: This class is for those who want to start challenging themselves to a higher physical fitness level. The level of exertion will increase for the individuals along with allowing the participants to gain new techniques and experiences. For those who have a higher activity level, this level allows them to improve skills and technique at a higher intensity.
Active Intensity: This is for the seasoned active individual. Your instructor will push the limits of your physicality and coach you into a more difficult exercise experience. These classes are not for those who do not want to advance their fitness levels at a high level. Be prepared to bring that heart rate into your target zone.

ADULT LEARN TO SWIM
Private swim lessons are available during the day or evening for adults ages 18 and above. Lessons are 30 minutes in length and can be arranged for adults of all levels of swimming skills beginner—expert based upon individual experience. Lessons are to advance swimmers and to refine their techniques by being encouraged to progress at their own pace through private lessons. These skills include but are not limited to water bobs, front crawl, freestyle, backstroke, side stroke, side breathing, retrieving objects from the bottom of the pool, jumping into the pool, sit dives, diving off blocks, and other swimming skills. Each lesson is designed to teach water safety, acclimating the participant to the pool setting, and build skills and technique to prepare them to swim in all other pools.
If you are interested in Private Lessons, please email Aquatics Director, Kris Peters, at [email protected] with your Name, Swimming Ability, and your Availability. She will reply with available times of her instructors. Please be mindful that all lessons must be scheduled through the Aquatic director or coordinator before they can be purchased.
