A. Aquaticsthe goal of the y's aquatic program is to develop competent and confident swimmers by teaching the life skills of swimming. Children are introduced to the water through a graduated series of lessons developed and standardized by the YMCA of the USA. The program is divided into age groups, and children move through the levels at their own pace as their abilities and skills grow. Advanced lessons and team programs are available for those boys and girls with particular enthusiasm for swimming. Team programs encompass all ages and levels of ability, from beginners to olympic competitors. The program is structured to provide careful development and steady progression through the stages of competitive swimming. Y aquatic programs help individuals develop self-confidence and self-respect, develop core values, grow as responsible members of their families and communities, appreciate health of the mind and body and develop leadership skills. Financial assistance is available for those who cannot afford the regular fees.

B. Fitnessas a membership organization, the YMCA is an association of people where individuals grow and develop by moving from a casual to a committed relationship. We encourage healthy lifestyles; which means healthy development of the spirit, mind, and body. Such awareness promotes a lifestyle that helps us resist illness, addictions, and disease. Through community based exercise, sports and education programs, chronic disease wellness programs, the y promotes good health for people of all ages, abilities, and incomes. Good health lets us enjoy the goodness of life. In a world where we drive to work instead of walk, live in neighborhoods without sidewalks, eat out or get "take out" instead of cooking, and work longer hours under higher stress levels - our environment often does not support healthy living habits. The YMCA is redefining itself and engaging communities to provide better opportunities for people of all ages in their pursuit of health and well-being. Financial assistance is available in order to benefit from the y programs and services.
