West Philadelphia YMCA

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.

➡️ Take the pledge and donate to help us fund more lifesaving programs: https://brnw.ch/21x2Uxc

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.

Swimming Pool Safety Tips: How to Stay Safe in the Water 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.

Please join us in thanking and celebrating Nicole for 1️⃣0️⃣ years of service at the Y! 🎉

For the past decade, Nicole has been a cornerstone of our West Philadelphia Y family. She's led countless group ex classes and been a catalyst of so many health journeys. Nicole embodies the YMCA.

We're excited, but sad, to share that Nicole is stepping back from the Y to pursue her growing ventures. As many of you know, Nicole is a CEO of two companies, a TEDx speaker, and an award-winning business founder.

Thank you, Nicole, for 10 years of passion, dedication, and powerful reminders of what community truly means. We are so proud of you and excited for your next chapter! 🤝💙
