YMCA Splash Week

YMCA Splash Week consists of five 30-minute sessions each day of spring break week. Targeted at both children and parents, the sessions teach water safety practices and basic swimming skills along with YMCA core character values - caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Sessions are offered throughout the day to accommodate parents’ schedules: morning, afternoon, and evening sessions are available.

Water safety has no one simple solution. Drowning prevention means creating layers of protection for children and adults. Consider these alarming statistics:

• According to the Florida Department of Health, residential swimming pools are the location of nearly two-thirds of the drowning deaths in Florida for the 0-4 age group.
• With the abundance of water and residential pools, the state of Florida ranks 3rd in the country in all drowning fatalities.
• Statewide drowning is the leading cause of death for children under the age of 5.
