Whether our youth come to the Y looking to explore their interests or for support in navigating challenges, the Y is committed to nurturing pre-teens and teens and providing the roots for their success.

The Parent/Child Program is unique in that it reaches children and parents early in their relationship. Parents participate in the water with their child and are given guidance on how to develop their child’s abilities and how to protect their child from harm in, on, and around the water; children are given the chance to explore a new environment and to build skills that add to their self-confidence. Both benefit from taking part in an experience that lets them learn and have fun together in the water.

YOUTH PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS AGE: 3 –12 years TIME: 30 Minutes

Private Swim Lessons are tailored to your child’s needs. Whether it is a 3 year old getting in the water for the first time or an aspiring young athlete wanting to work on stroke efficiency, private lessons may be your best bet! With one-on-one attention from our trained instructors, your goals will be reached quicker and easier. Offered at the Easley and Pickens YMCA.

SCHOOL AGE SWIM LESSONS AGE: 5-12 years old TIME: Lessons are 30-45 minutes, 8 Classes COST: $40 Members $70 Non-Members

In Y Swim Lessons, participants learn and practice new swimming skills and feel a sense of achievement from mastering something new that they can enjoy the rest of their lives. While participating in fun water sports and games, children also increase their physical activity levels. Participants in Y Swim Lessons are connected to others in the class, make new friends and recognize new role models. The participants are more comfortable and secure around water, as they learn water safety and improve their swimming skills. Children form a stronger bond with their parents and family members from take home activities and sharing water safety tips.

PRESCHOOL SWIM LESSONS AGE: 3-5 years old TIME: Lessons are 30 minutes, 8 Classes COST: $40 Members $70 Non-Members

Children ages 3, 4 and 5 learn water safety, survival skills and foundational swimming concepts in a safe and fun environment. Skills are age-appropriate, allowing students to achieve success on a regular basis. Our lessons help children become comfortable in the water, achieve basic water safety, and introduce fundamental skills. Because it is preschool, having fun and playing in the water is a large part of the program. We want your child to have fun!

ADDITIONAL INFO

WHAT DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BRING? Children who are not potty-trained need to wear a swim diaper. Long hair needs to be tied-back to help them swim without the distraction of hair in the face. Although not required, we suggest that girls wear a one piece suit so that they do not have to adjust it while swimming.

CAN I WATCH MY CHILD’S LESSON? Yes! We require that parents stay during lessons but ask that parents stay within the seating areas so that the children are not distracted.

WHAT IF WE MISS A CLASS? Refunds and/or make-up classes will not be offered for missed classes.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING BAD WEATHER? The decision to cancel classes due to inclement weather will be made as early as possible. We will notify you of any cancellations as soon as we can.

All sessions have 2 inclement weather make up dates set in case classes are cancelled. However, the YMCA can only guarantee 6 classes per session. Inclement weather makeInclement weather makeInclement weather makeInclement weather make----up days are typically on Fridays, same time.up days are typically on Fridays, same time.up days are typically on Fridays, same time.up days are typically on Fridays, same time.

WHAT IF MY CHILD CANNOT PARTICIPATE? Once a session has begun, if the child is pulled out of the class by the parents/guardians, the YMCA will only issue a credit. No refunds will be issued.

WHAT IF MY CHILD IS AFRAID OF THE WATER? If your child is fearful of water, our instructors will be limited in their ability to help during group lessons. Most fears come from a lack of exposure to water, resulting in uncertainty of the water. In order for children to learn to swim, they must be willing to participate and attempt the skills that are being taught.

We recommend helping your child get adjusted to water by playing in the bathtub. Water on and around a child’s face can be an overwhelming experience the first time it happens. Help them prepare before they

arrive at lessons. Also consider private swim lessons for one on one attention.

HEALTHY LIVING Being healthy means more than simply being physically active. It’s about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind and body. The Y is a place where you can work towards that balance by challenging yourself to learn a new skill or hobby, fostering connections with friends through our lifelong learning programs, or bringing your loved ones closer together through our many family-centered activities. At the Y, it’s not about the activity you choose as much as it is about the benefits of living healthier on the inside as well as the outside.

Self defense and self protection are an important priority for women. According to statistics, a woman who is only 21 years of age has a 25 percent risk of suffering violent crime in her life. When a woman's safety is in danger, defending herself by fighting back is the most ethical decision she can make.

This 2 hour course taught by Master John Roberson of Palmetto Martial Arts will empower women to feel they have options when presented with difficult situations. The YMCA is proud to partner with Master Roberson!

Each year, the Pickens County YMCA scholarships thousands of dollars to families and children in need in our community. We offer valuable services that many in our community need and want to be a part of such as afterschool and summer camp. As a non-profit, we strive to serve everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. We raise money each year to fund what we call the “Share the Spirit Fund”, which allocates money to those asking for help. All money that is donated to our Y stays in our community and goes directly to those in need. In 2013, our YMCA provided $113,878 in scholarships!

Like many other non-profits, we strive to raise money so that we do not have to turn anyone away that is in need. However, in 2013 we were only able to raise $83,114 through direct donations, United Way and special events.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Pickens County YMCA is a community non-profit (501c3) company that serves the local community through membership and programs. The ‘Y’ receives no government funding nor is it governed by the community. The PC YMCA is governed by a local Board of Directors (BOD). The BOD has full authority to execute all decisions regarding policies, financial obligations, supervision of the CEO, and the future happenings of the YMCA. Board Members serve a 3 year term but are eligible to serve again after one year. All board members are full volunteers and receive no compensation or benefits for their service to the YMCA. The Pickens County Y BOD requests all matters regarding the YMCA be brought to the staff and/or CEO. Day-to-day issues, program decisions, facilities and interpretation of policy are the decisions of the CEO. The BOD serve primarily as a policy making body. They also approve the vision of the YMCA, financial debts and supervision of the CEO. Board Members serve the YMCA by offering their ‘4-W’s’.

WORK Serving on the BOD requires work. Whether its manual labor, writing letters, making phone calls, planning events or researching policies. Work must be performed by the members.

WEALTH Financial contributions to the YMCA is a requirement to serve as a Board Member. The amount is not specified. Board Members are also asked to raise funds in the community for the Share the Spirit Fund (pg 26). Soliciting funds is something that all Board Members and staff do in service of the Pickens County YMCA.

WITNESS Sharing with the community, friends, and family about the YMCA and its impact on the community is an important factor of being a great board member.
