Happy Lifeguard Appreciation Day! 🛟

Today we’re giving a big shoutout to the incredible Downtown Family YMCA Lifeguards who work hard every day to keep our pools safe, fun, and welcoming FOR ALL.

THANK YOU for your focus, dedication, and attentiveness to even the smallest of details - you are true lifesavers in every sense of the word!

DID YOU KNOW staff go through a rigorous ~35 hour certification course in order to become a lifeguard?! They also have to go through 4 hours of monthly trainings (drop drills, in services, swim tests, etc.) and even renew their Basic life support annually?!?!

If you see one of our lifeguards today, tomorrow, or the next few days, be sure to say THANK YOU!
