Spring/Summer Program Guide MASON CITY FAMILY YMCA
WELCOME What an exciting time for your Mason City Family YMCA! We have actively been participating in the Blue Zones Project for Mason City. We had a site visit on March 14 and as this guide is printing, we are waiting to see if Mason City is chosen as a Blue Zones community. This year marks the 120th anniversary of the Y in Mason City. We are planning a week long celebration beginning with Healthy Kids Day on April 28th and ending with a celebration on the actual anniversary, May 6. Please watch for more information about this important event and mark your calendars for a week of fun and celebration. We have been honored to receive a $10,000 grant from the National Inclusion Project. We will be incorporating Let’s ALL Play into our summer day camp. Let’s ALL Play includes inclusive modifications that work for programs overall or individuals as well as inclusive games and activities that benefit ALL children. Chelsie Wood, Youth Development Director, and Michelle Sorenson, Health, Wellness & Sports Director, have received training to learn skills to serve families effectively, build lifelong friendships for children, achieve positive behaviors, prevent and handle bullying, and create accessible activities for children with special needs to be included in our Summer Day Camp. Our goal is to involve 10 children in the first year of this project. And finally, please remember to support the Partner of Youth Campaign beginning in May. As always, thanks for supporting YOUR Mason City Family YMCA. Liz Conley Executive Director

3-5 Aqua Shrimps - Ages 3 yrs - 5 yrs. This is a parent/child class which helps acquaint very young children with the joys of water. As the class progresses, the instructor slowly begins working more individually with children on skills to help ready them for preschool classes without parents.
Classes are designed to allow the child to have fun in the water through guided instruction with parents. The child will be exposed to games that use basic movements in the water such as kicking, arm strokes, and breath control. Activities are based on the developmental abilities of the child. Classes held in the warm-water therapy pool.
PRESCHOOL LESSONS (3 - 5 yrs.)
Level 1
Pike - This level helps children learn safe pool behavior, adjust to the water, and develop independent movement through stroke and kicking skills and becoming comfortable putting their face in the water while doing other skills.
Level 2
Eel - This advanced beginner level is for children who are comfortable and more independent in the water. They are taught to flutter kick, float by themselves and over-arm recovery stroke.
Level 3
Level 4

Children can swim half-way across the pool on their front and back crawl without assistance by the end of this level.

Students will also tread water and survival float longer to increase their endurance.
