Event Details

Join us at the public library to learn about important skills that adults and children need to know in and around water, including:

  • Basic swim skills like floating, blowing bubbles, the freestyle stroke and the front crawl   
  • Safety skills, like CPR, identifying a safe place to swim and water rescue techniques:  “Reach or Throw, Don’t Go”    
  • Survival swim skills, like pushing off the bottom of the pool to resurface “Jump, Push, Turn, Grab” and a method of swimming on your front and back: “Swim, Float, Swim”

You will receive information about the Westfield Aquatic Center and be able to ask questions about YMCA Swim Lessons and Family Membership. The YMCA is not just a gym, they are not just a charity. The YMCA is about families, but also about singles, college students, new couples, and empty-nesters.

Above all, they are about community! Come to the public library to help welcome the YMCA to our library community, too!
