I’m a member because...“Staff members are our extended family and we have met many new friends there over the years. It is the place where I give back to others and help whenever possible because at every stage of my own cancer, no matter what condition I was in, I was always needed and welcomed. So, the Y to me represents life and hope. It is not a place to exercise...it is our local heart of the family, a place where you learn how to live and how to pass that learning on.”

– H. Ruiz

With so many demands on today’s families, parents need all the support they can get. That’s why child care at the Y is about more than looking after kids.

SWIM, SPORTS & PLAYPositive, fun activities that build athletic, social and interpersonal skills

The Y is the starting point for many youth to learn about becoming and staying active, and developing healthy habits they’ll carry with them throughout their lives. And the benefits are far greater than just physical health. Whether it’s gaining the confidence that comes from learning to swim or building the positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participating in activities at the Y is about building the whole child, from the inside out.

YOUTH SWIM PROGRAMSImagine watching your child swim across the pool for the first time. Or learn a new stroke that they didn’t think they could ever do. When your kids take a swim lesson with the Y, they’ll gain confidence and learn new skills in a fun, caring environment. Not to mention the benefits of staying active and healthy.
