DID YOU KNOW...
- Drowning is the 2nd leading cause of death for children ages 5-14 years.
- If an adult doesn't learn to swim, there is only a 13% chance a child in the household will learn to swim.
That's why the Y has been committed to making aquatics programs accessible to all ages and income levels for over 100 years. By providing kids and adults with the tools they need to be confident in and around water, we can help save lives.
SAFETY AROUND THE WATER PROGRAM
The Y’s Safety Around the Water Program is offered year-round at our Ys or at pre-approved sites throughout Palm Beach County and offered to qualified groups at no cost. This program is evidence-based and developed on a foundation of “Safety First, Swim Second.” and is geared for ages 3-17.
