Water Smart Rule #6: Know What to Do (Before You Need To)

Emergencies don’t wait. Learn how to recognize signs of distress, call for help, and respond calmly. Don’t jump in the water to save a friend who is struggling – use a long object to reach for them and pull them to safety.

Bonus: Take a CPR or water safety class, because heroes aren’t born, they’re trained.

Happy Friend Friday! Today, Y members can bring a friend for free to the Y to work out.

Water Smart Rule # 5: Don’t Hold Your Breath (literally)

Breath-holding contests? Yeah, let’s not. They might seem like harmless fun, but breath-holding games in the water can be seriously dangerous, even for strong swimmers.

Holding your breath too long can lead to shallow water blackout, a silent and sudden emergency that can happen without warning. At the Y, we teach that water safety isn’t just about swimming, it’s about smart choices. So, skip the contests, and keep the fun safe for
everyone.

This month, we are proud to feature Denise Recatto as our Member Spotlight!

Denise has been part of the Y family for eight years. She joined with the goal of improving her health and taking time to focus on herself and her well-being.

At the Y, Denise especially enjoys participating in Light & Low, chair aerobics, and water aerobics classes. She shares that the Y has brought many positive changes to her life, including the opportunity to meet new friends and become part of a supportive community. Denise says the welcoming, family-like atmosphere is what makes every visit to the Y special to her.

When asked what she would say to someone thinking about joining, Denise enthusiastically shared: “It will change your life! I promise you, you will never regret being a part of the Y family. I love the Y.”

In memory of many, in honor of all. On this Memorial Day, we express our gratitude and say thank you.
