FREE Safety Around Water Classes
Safety Around Water at the Y
The Y wants to ensure all families are ready for a fun and safe summer. To do that, we're helping families become "WaterReady" by developing water safety skills that help reduce the risk of drowning and build confidence and competence in and around water.
What is the Y's Safety Around Water Program?
- Exercises to help kids adjust to being in the water
- Instruction in two skill sets kids can use if they unexpectedly find themselves in the water: Jump, Push, Turn, Grab and Swim, Float, Swim.
- Safety topics like what to do if you see someone in the water who needs help
- Fun activities that reinforce skills
