JUNE IS WATER SAFETY MONTH

pool girlSummertime means pool time for many kids and adults as they venture to their favorite spots to swim, play and create lasting memories. Whether it's the pool, beach, water park or lakefront the Victory Family YMCA reminds the community to keep safety first when in or around the water. With this in mind, the Y offers swim programs that teach water safety skills and give kids and adults the chance to explore the many health benefits of swimming.

 

Swimming is a fun and easy way to stay physically active and improve strength, flexibility and stamina. The Victory Y offers a variety of programs for children and adults including, aquacise classes, open family swim, swim lessons, and competitive swim team.

 

When in and around water the following safety precautions for children and adults are recommended:

  

  • Only swim when and where there is lifeguard on duty.
  • Never swim alone.
  • Adults should constantly watch children in and near the water. If multiple adults are in the vicinity, designate a "water watcher" so everyone knows who is "on duty."
  • Inexperienced swimmers should take precaution and wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal floatation device (PFD) when in or near the water.
  • Children who are beginners should stay within arm's reach of an adult in the water.

To learn more about the Victory Family YMCA's swim programs, please contact Jordyn Wood at (757) 867-3000 x 223 or jordyn.wood@peninsulaymca.org
