YMCA Bethesda-Chevy Chase050

Programs at the YMCA Bethesda-Chevy Chase focus on swimming, tennis, and fitness. Swimming lessons are available for children as young as six months (with parent) and continue through adulthood. The facility has three pools (one outdoor and two indoor)! Tennis instruction starts at age four. Private lessons are available for both swimming and tennis, as well as summer camps and themed birthday parties.

This branch also features the Kids' PhD Program (Physical, Healthy, Driven), for kids ages five to twelve, which is designed to increase strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, cardiovascular capability, and self-esteem. These classes generally meet on Saturdays. Kids ages 13 to 17 can try their 8-week PhD Teen Weight Training Program.
