To help combat drowning, the YMCA of Greater Houston will host a FREE Swim Class Event on May 19 to introduce basic water safety skills to kids ages 3 and older, and provide their parents with important tools for drowning prevention.  

All YMCAs in the Greater Houston area are participating, and parents are encouraged to go on-line or visit their closest Y to register their children and secure a spot. Walk-ins are welcome if space is available. The Shadowbend Y Pool will be the host in The Woodlands offering classes at these times, 9:30am – 10:15am and 11am.
