Santa Monica YMCA352

The Santa Monica YMCA hosts a wealth of programs for families, children, and teens.

The aquatic center includes a Jacuzzi, heated teaching pool, and a six-lane, 25-yard lap pool. The pools and spa are equipped with an Ozone Filtration system and require no chlorine, making the water cleaner, clearer, and softer - as well as safer for the environment. Swimming lessons are available for all age groups, as is Family Swim Time. Check the website or call for current schedule.

The Y also offers classes in gymnstics, dance, Judo/Jujitsu, and more.

A variety of day camps held at the Santa Monica YMCA are available throughout the year. Camps include winter, spring, and summer camps and feature trips to the beach, acting workshops, key boarding, cartooning, and drawing, as well as healthy cooking activities, games and much more. Opportunities are also available for teens who wish to be camp counselors, Counselors in Training (CITs), and Leaders in Training (Lits).

The Y offers a very affordable day care child center, as well as options for drop-in case for adults taking exercise classes.

The Witherbee Foundation Child Care Center is a licensed facility offering programs for kids ages six weeks to five years. Call 310.451.7387 for information or to schedule an interview and visit.
