THEIR POTENTIAL
Community Swim Academy
The Simmons YMCA provides children with a life-saving opportunity by offering free swim lessons through the Community Swim Academy. Studies show two primary factors for children not learning to swim are the parent's ability and attitude toward swimming and the socio-economic conditions of the child's community. YMCA Community Swim Academy is an effort to give all children the opportunity to learn to swim and feel safe around water.
$50 allows one child to receive six weeks of swim lessons in the Community Swim Academy.		 Turn your gift into their potential
