Swimming is more than a skill — it’s a lifesaving tool. 🏊‍♂️ Drowning is a leading cause of death for kids ages 1-14. That's why we're committed to making water safety & swim education accessible for every child.

Last year we taught over 1️⃣6️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ kids how to swim.

Summer is right around the corner and there is no better time to brush up on pool safety. 😎 Let's make this a memorable - and safe - summer!

🏊‍♂️ Take safety seriously. These are lifesaving skills.
🛟 Be prepared with the right gear and tools.
⭐ Choose bright colored swim suits.
💦 Avoid deep dives near the drains.
🥽 Holding your breath is not a game.
🦺 Cleaning and prevention go a long way.

Diving into the pool is part of the fun in summer, but so are safe water skills. Ensure your children remain safe in the pool with Greater Philadelphia YMCA.
