Through a partnership with YUSA, the YMCA’s Sturgeon Bay Program Center has received an outreach grant to offer free swim lessons to 100 children ages 5-12 during our 2015 summer swim program. Registration is required and can be made by stopping in or calling our Welcome Center at 920-743-4949 (the program registration opens for members beginning June 15 and community members beginning June 17 and will be on a “first come/first served basis”).
Participants may sign up for one of two “Super Swim Sessions” from June 29 – July 3 or July 6 – 10 from 1:00 – 2:00 pm. 5 – 7 different stations will be set up with certified swim instructors at each station.
Door County YMCA CEO, Tom Beerntsen, stated that “in a county surrounded by water, it is vital that we do everything possible to provide for the safety of our kids and the Y is pleased to be able to join with Y’s throughout the country and “hop the gap” to fill this significant need in our community during the summer months”.
