YMCA Offers FREE Swim Classes on May 19

PUBLISHED:

In Texas, drowning is the second leading cause of death for children under the age of 14. For every child who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency care for nonfatal submersion injuries. Of the 77 child drownings in Texas last year, Harris County experienced the most with 9 children losing their lives.

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.
