Swimming at the Y in Nashua & Merrimack
Dive in. There's a place for you in the water.
The YMCA of Greater Nashua has indoor pools at our Nashua and Merrimack YMCAs, with swim lessons for every age, a competitive swim team, water exercise classes, open swim time and lifeguard certification courses.
Swimming has been part of the Y for generations because it does so much good: it keeps kids safe around water, builds confidence and gives people of every age a joyful, low-impact way to stay healthy. Whether it's your child's first splash or your morning laps, we're glad you're here.
