Splash Into 2015 With Swim Lessons

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. - Jan. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Summer is quickly approaching, and what better way to prepare your children for the swim season than water safety. The YMCA of Orange County takes a proactive approach to ensure that all members of the community can learn to swim.  With the knowledge that 75% of all drowning happens in the shallow end with children under 8 years of age, Y swim classes ensure that children are properly tested for swim level, supervised appropriately while in the pool, and provided with education and skill development to prepare them to be smart and confident swimmers.

The YMCA of Orange County offers swim lessons for all ages like Parent/Child Lessons, Stroke Development, Splash Ball/Water Polo, Advanced Stroke Development, Swim Team and Lifeguarding Certification classes. Their swim programs are open to the public (members and non-members) and all levels are welcome. Financial Assistance is available for qualifying applicants.

“We love the Fullerton YMCA because it's like a second family that keeps on growing. Denver, my daughter, has received genuine support from her swim coaches. She said she enjoys that her swim techniques are always improving. She also likes meeting and talking to the staff and kids,” says Tee, a member of the Fullerton YMCA.

Sessions start monthly and are offered year- round at most YMCA locations. To see all locations visit www.ymcaoc.org/locations
