In a major, strategic effort to ensure the safety of kids and families in and around the water, all branches of the Central Connecticut Coast YMCA are offering a free, community-wide program called, SPLASH, starting on Monday, June 17^th.

SPLASH is a fun, five day, program teaching water safety skills in five aquatic situations:  public pools, backyard pools, boats, beaches and water parks.  Knowing how to be safe in and around water helps kids feel proud and confident.  They will use that knowledge for the rest of their lives.

In 2012, CCC YMCA certified swim instructors and lifeguards taught water safety skills to over 1,200 local children.  We anticipate increasing this number to at least 2,000 during SPLASH WEEK.

SPLASH is free with pre-registration for all children, preschool and up.  Program runs Monday – Friday, June 17 – June 21, 2013.  All classes are thirty minutes per day.

Register for SPLASH at a Y branch near you!
