Swimming can be such a rewarding exercise and recreational pastime.  Families enjoy spending time together playing in the water whether it’s a structured games or just splashing around.  It is important to keep in mind that water isn’t only in our backyard pools, there are ponds, lakes, streams and rivers that could be nearby.  Are your children playing in these types of water?   Are they experienced swimmers?

Those who choose lap swimming or water exercise classes for their exercise routines would all agree that the water is the best overall workout for the entire body.  The cardio the water offers can be more challenging than running/jogging, and the whole body can be targeted in one  workout for toning in both swimming laps or in a water exercise class.  Are you interested in becoming a competitive swimmer?  Is it difficult to participate in land-based exercise classes?

Although the pool is a source of great fun for families and individuals, it can also be one of the most dangerous environments for people to be in.  It is important for everyone to know how to swim adults and children alike.  There are thousands of people who die in drowning related  accidents every year.  Many of these accidents could have been prevented if people allowed themselves the opportunity to learn to swim or how to recognize dangerous situations, which can all be experienced in our YMCA Swim Lesson Program.  We would love to share our skills and knowledge with you and your families if you would like to take the opportunity
