SAFETY AROUND WATER

Drowning poses a threat to the health and well-being of people nationwide, particularly among children and minority populations. Learning how to swim and be safe in the water is one of the most important skills that people should have. Not only does it save lives, but it also promotes healthy living and builds confidence. The Y has committed to tackling this issue with Safety Around Water, a program designed to reach children at risk of drowning and teach them basic water safety skills.
