What is the difference between a local community swimming pool and the YMCA? Are the classes as good?
I have a choice of joining the YMCA or going to the local community rec. center to take swim lessons. They both cost about the same. Which is better? Will I receive a good experience in the public pool?

Does swimming laps help build bicep muscles or its weight-lifting alot better?
The YMCA offers more than just a swim experience. Membership includes gym use, classes, etc. That's really the only advantage the Y has over community pools. The instructors vary based on experience and certification level. I would seek instructors with Red Cross certification in WSI or swim instruction paired with experience. A teenager who just got a WSI cert won't be as good as a woman who's been teaching for ten years so keep that in mind.Check out both options fully and choose which will best fit your schedule, needs and objectives.
Good luck!
