If you answer no to any of these questions, then Safety Around Water is right for child.

  • Can your child jump into the water and safely exit without assistance?
  • Has your child ever taken a swim lesson?

HELP SAVE LIVES

SAFETY AROUND WATER:

  • Every day, two children die as a result of drowning.  In fact, drowning is the leading cause of death for children between the ages of 5 and 14. 
  • The Southeast Ventura County YMCA believes all children deserve an opportunity to learn water safety techniques. 
  • We are committed to making drowning prevention a priority for our community. 
  • Not only will we prevent these tragic events, but we will also ensure all children can safely enjoy the health and recreational benefits of swimming.
