Aquatics at Kokokahi

At YWCA Kokokahi, we believe learning to swim should be a fun and positive experience for everyone. We offer swim classes and a lap swim program for all ages.

Swim Classes

Our swim program welcomes all ages and skill levels, using a gentle and caring approach that helps each student learn at their own pace. With lots of encouragement and plenty of smiles, we create a safe and supportive space where families can enjoy the journey of swimming together—and build a love for the water that lasts a lifetime.

Each class runs for 30 minutes.

All levels have no more than six students, with typically one instructor per class.
