RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS WEEK

Want to improve your community one act of kindness at a time?  Now's your chance to start!  Random Acts of Kindness week is February 10-16.

 

We invite you to "pay it forward" here at the Y. It will only take a few minutes or if you have the time, a few hours.

Here are a few things to consider:

  • Volunteer at the Smithfield Sprint Triathlon, April 6th
  • Volunteer to help with Healthy Kids Day, April 26th
  • Get a workout by sweeping the gym floor
  • Like the class?  Be a group ex "Tweeter."
  • Man the coffee station
  • Read to the children in Child Watch
  • Make someone smile by making a Valentine's Day card for a resident at Magnolia Manor; all the supplies you need are in the lobby.
Ready to pay it forward?  Click here to email Connie Chapman, Director of Social Responsibility.
SAFE SWIMMING AND HAVING FUN

Every day, children learn the basics of swimming at the Y. Our progressive lessons turn beginners into experts and polliwogs into sharks, while building endurance, self-confidence, and coordination.

 

We ensure a low instructor-to-student ratio to make sure your kids get plenty of personal attention. 

And remember, our Parent/Child lessons introduce infants and toddlers to the water using exploratory techniques.

 

With our wide selection of classes and schedules, you're sure to find one that fits your child's needs and your schedule.  Click here for a class schedule.  Registration opens February 8th; classes start February 24th.  Download a flyer here.  

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  We've noticed the last few months that no one has been enjoying the pool during the last hour of operation, so beginning March 1st the pool will close at 8:30 p.m., Monday-Friday.  Weekend hours will remain the same.

UNITING FAMILY AND COMMUNITY

Spend quality time with your family at the Y!  Families are invited to participate in FREE monthly activities, such as Aqua Night, Sock Hops, Fam Jam, Movie Under the Stars and more! 

Ask the Welcome Center for more details about upcoming Family Fun Nights.

 

Play Ultimate Frisbee with us at our next event, March 7th, 7-8:00 p.m.  This event is free, but please pre-register at the Welcome Center.

  

Also, check out Kids Night Out.  Enjoy an evening out while your kids enjoy an exciting night at the YMCA.  Children participate in activities including theme-oriented games and crafts, movies, and swimming (age restrictions apply). Dinner is included.  You may register at the Welcome Center or online by clicking here.   Join us in the future for Kids Night Out.
