Free water safety lessons at the YMCA

The YMCAs of Tampa Bay are teaming up with the Florida Blue Foundation and the YMCA of the Suncoast is joining forces with the Juvenile Welfare Board to offer free water safety lessons from May through August. The Safety Around Water program is free and open to all 3 to 12-year-old beginners and non-swimmers in the community. During the four-day course, certified instructors teach kids a sequenced set of skills that reduce the risk of drowning and give them confidence in and around water. Participants must be present on the first day of class and bring their own swimsuit and towel. A YMCA membership is not required, but due to limited space, pre-registration is required at the following Pinellas locations:

• Greater Palm Harbor YMCA: May 20-23
• Clearwater YMCA: Every Friday in May, June 24-27
• Jim & Heather Gills YMCA: Aug. 5-8
