“My sister Lynette has been coming to the YMCA for several years now. She was born with cerebral palsy, she has limited mobility and requires low impact pool workouts to aid her with her strength and mobility physical therapy. She started coming to the aqua fit classes and fell in love with being back in the water. She not only has gotten herself stronger, but also has made some new friends! From the moment she walks through the door, she has been greeted with smiles and warm welcomes from the staff which helps her feel extra special!
I’m grateful to the YMCA for being here in the Santa Ynez valley and playing a huge part in helping my sister maintain her independence, mobility and for being a positive part of her life!
I also am a member and love working out here along with being in the pool my sister and helping her with her pool physical therapy. We even have been nicknamed the Mermaid Sisters.”
