We’re so proud of all our swimmers who represented the Woodson YMCA at Y Nationals this last week! Congratulations to our individual finalists this week, as well as Alyssa, Reece, Anna, and Lexie on their A final finish in the 400 medley relay and induction into the WYNS hall of fame!

And to our graduating seniors — Will, Bruce, Danica, Reece, Lexie, and Scout — thank you for the heart, leadership, and dedication you’ve put into this team. You’ve shaped the Y community in ways that go far beyond the pool, and your impact will be felt for years to come 🌊💙✨

Drowning is the leading cause of death for children under age five—and it can happen quickly, silently, and unexpectedly; but there is something we can do.

Swim lessons give children the skills to stay safe, the confidence to navigate the water, and the chance to simply be kids—without fear. Your gift lifts the financial barriers that keep children from accessing these lifesaving lessons.

For more than 30 years, Doua H. has been a cornerstone of the Woodson YMCA—bringing warmth, connection, and a welcoming spirit to everyone who walks through our doors.

Doua’s impact goes far beyond the walls of the Y. Recently awarded with the United Way Champion of Youth Award, he was recognized at the Wausau Hmong 50 Year Celebration for his lifelong dedication to serving others—uplifting the Hmong community, strengthening the Wausau area, and championing opportunities for youth to grow, belong, and succeed. That same passion is felt here every day; whether he’s creating an inclusive environment or simply greeting members with his signature smile, Doua has a unique ability to make every person feel seen and valued.

We are proud to celebrate Doua and the lasting impact he continues to make in our community through his exceptional ability to make every individual feel valued and included 🎉💙

Happy World Health Day from your Woodson YMCA! 🌍💪🏿
Today is a reminder that healthy living is about more than fitness—it’s about caring for your whole self: mind, body, and spirit. Together, as a community, we can support one another in building healthier habits and stronger lives. Whether you’re taking a class, connecting with others, or simply showing up for yourself, every step matters 💙

You never know what someone is carrying when they walk through our doors—a first swim lesson, a long day at work, a loss, a fresh start. At the Woodson YMCA, there's space for it all. A place to belong, to grow, and to find what you need—whatever that looks like for you. It’s the connections we build, the challenges we overcome, and the moments we share together that make our Y so special 💙

Meet Douglas, one of our incredible Group Exercise instructors at the Woodson YMCA ✨🪩💪🏽

Douglas has been teaching group fitness since 2018, turning his passion for movement into a way to motivate, challenge, and connect with others. For him, the most rewarding part is seeing members grow stronger, more confident, and more energized with every class. Douglas creates an experience that feels less like a workout and more like a celebration. His classes are full of energy, variety, and fun, with something for everyone!

Outside of the Y, Douglas is a nurse and a runner—recently completing his first half marathon! His passion for helping others live healthier lives shows up both in and out of the studio. His goal is simple: create a space where everyone feels welcome, supported, and inspired to keep moving.

Ready to jump in? Join Douglas for a class and experience it for yourself, or explore our full group exercise schedule to find the class that fits you best!

April is 💙 Did you know?

• 1 in 10 children will experience sexual abuse before their 18th birthday
• 90% of children know their abuser
• Only 1 in 3 cases are identified and reported

Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued. At the Woodson YMCA, we are committed to creating an environment where kids are protected, heard, and able to thrive. Prevention is something we all share. Here are 5 simple ways you can help protect the children in your life:

• Listen – Let kids know their voices matter
• Set boundaries – Teach what is safe and what isn’t
• Know the signs – Pay attention to changes in behavior or mood
• Speak up – If something feels off, report it
• Be present – Stay engaged, supervise, and build trust

Together, we can make a difference.
