Randall Moore lives in Oswego with his wife and two children. He has been a member of the Fox Valley Family YMCA since November, 2009.

Monday – Thursday: 4:30 am – 9:00 pm

Randall was a steel worker for over 30 years until a serious accident at work forced him to retire. He had nine surgeries and three amputations to his left hand and now lives in pain 24/7. Randall said when he first came to the YMCA he had no hope, but since has lost over 40 pounds and has been able to get off his medications. Randall credits the biggest part of his success to the staff at the Y. The staff has become a bigger part of his life because they are so caring. The YMCA gave Randall something that he thought he had lost, hope and happiness. He has hope now and can do something’s he couldn’t do before he started coming to the YMCA. The YMCA has even helped Randall change his eating habits and has helped him realize life is worth living!! His favorite motto is “It’s great to be alive!”

preschool Preschool Program for 2½ through 5 year olds Welcome to the wonderful world of preschool! The overall objective for the preschool program is to facilitate a nurturing, fun, and challenging learning environment in which a child can achieve their fullest potential, feel safe, and develop a love for learning.

We accomplish this through a program filled with discovery, play, sharing, and discussing various themes that will enable children to grow and develop at their own rate. Children ages 2½ to 3½ years old meet twice a week for a two hour session. Our number one goal for this age group is to expose the children to a structured preschool setting in which their social skills can flourish. While introducing the children to various themes, the teachers will work with them on using their communication skills, sharing, listening, being cooperative with both peers and teachers, language abilities, and developing a love for school. Activities will be hands on and explore such areas as art, math, science, language arts, music and movement, imaginations, and fine motor skills.

Children ages 3–4 years old will continue working on the importance of their social skills but also start exploring more of the academic side of school as well. These skills will include cooperation, listening, sharing, acceptance of school structure, and developing good self esteem. Some of the academic concepts will be letters, phonics, numbers, writing, science activities, and mathematical concepts.

Children who are eligible to attend kindergarten the following school year meet three or four times a week. The Pre-Kindergarten program is specifically designed to prepare children for kindergarten. In addition to the skills listed above, we introduce the children to patterns, numbers up to 100, experiment with writing and reading, science concepts, building independence skills, and being responsible.

All students must pay a one-time non-refundable registration fee of $45 to reserve a spot.

gymnastics Fox Valley Flyers The Fox Valley Flyers is the competitive team from our YMCA. The Flyers compete in both YMCA and USAG meets throughout Illinois and Wisconsin.

The Flyers also have the opportunity to qualify for YMCA Nationals which are held in a different State each year. Last year we traveled to Toledo, Ohio for Nationals. We had many girls place in the AA and even had an AA winner at level 6! Nina Day was the Jr Level 6 Champion. Gymnasts that compete as part of our team have been doing gymnastics for many years and have worked their way through all of the instructional levels to make it this far.

The Flyers are coached by Karen Oelker, Amy Killey, Chloe’ Oelker, and Alyssa Valbert. Our goal as coaches is and always has been to not only make this a winning strong team, but to teach our girls the importance of working together and supporting each other. We believe what they learn here will stay with them long after they stop doing gymnastics.

Level 1 This introductory level will focus on the building blocks of swimming. Participants will work on the basic paddle stroke, kicking skills and pool safety in a group setting. Swimmers will need to become comfortable enough to fully dip their face into the water.

Level 2 In this level, swimmers will be taught to kick, dive, float and perform a progressive paddle stroke. Instructors will gradually remove the use of personal flotation devices throughout the session. In addition, participants will perform skills in the deep end of the pool.

Level 3 Children will review previous skills, begin to build endurance and coordination, learn to tread water, perform more progressive diving skills and practice rhythmic breathing. Swimmers will start to focus on front crawl, back crawl and underwater skills without the use of flotation devices.

Level 4 Swimmers will continue focusing on coordination and endurance while performing their strokes. They will be expected to swim one length of the pool without the assistance of an instructor or personal flotation devices.

Level 5 In addition to reviewing previous skills, swimmers will be introduced to sidestroke, breaststroke and elementary backstroke. Participants will need to swim one length of the pool without the assistance of an instructor or personal flotation devices to register for this level.

Level 6 Instructors will focus on refining their stroke and kicking techniques. Also, the butterfly will be introduced during the level. Participants will lengthen their ability to perform underwater activities and will be expected to swim four lengths of the pool by the conclusion of this level.

mat is always out to you as a member at over 2500 YMCAs across the US. Present your membership card at participating Y’s.

Those using our Y on the AWAY program may use our facility at no charge but may not bring guests, excluding those who are members of a Y within a 25 mile radius of our Y. (Any Y within a 25 mile radius of the Central Branch may use the facility 1 time per month as an AWAY Member. After their

first initial visit per month they will need to purchase a day pass). If there was a previous annual membership, the membership will be transferred to the Fox Valley YMCA once the $25 fee is paid and it will expire on the original date of the membership. It is the responsibility of the individual to cancel their membership with their previous Y. Paying the transfer fee does not automatically cancel any existing memberships. AWAY members will be charged the non-member fee for classes.

Guest Policy: Guests must register with

their sponsoring member at the front desk before using the facility. All guests must provide proper identification. Members are responsible for the actions of their guests. It is the responsibility of each member and their guest to abide by the rules of the Y and to act in an appropriate manner. Any person abusing the Y and/or exhibiting disruptive behavior will be asked to immediately vacate the premises without a refund. AWAY members may not bring guests. By participating in a Y program, it is assumed that all guests using the facility agree to the waiver of liability. Waiver can be found online at www.foxvalleyymca.org.

Membership Cancellation Policy:

Your membership is important to us, if there is anything we can do to improve your member experience please let us know.

There are no refunds on annual memberships. Bank draft cancellation forms must be completed 5 business days prior to the draft. Cancellations will not be accepted by fax, e-mail, or USPS mail. YMCAs are individually operated, therefore memberships are non-transferable. YMCA AWAY privileges may still apply. There is a cancellation policy for all new memberships. If you have a circumstance arise and need to cancel, you must notify the YMCA Membership Department within 72 hours of joining. If the member was enrolled in a Y class, the

difference between the member and nonmember rate will be taken from the refundable amount. All requests are subject to a $10 processing fee. Cancellation Policy is subject to change.
