ATTENTION SWIM LESSON FAMILIES Because the health and safety of our YMCA community is our highest priority, the Y will be implementing new guidelines to ensure swimmers, their families, and our instructors can maintain social distancing during swim lessons.
• A parent or guardian will be required to be in the water assisting their child during Preschool Stages 1-3 and Youth Stages 1-2 swim lessons until further notice. • As they have in the past, a parent or guardian will also be required to be in the water with their child during Stages A and B swim lessons. • Lane lines in our lap pools have been adjusted to ensure social distancing and all participants in all swim levels will be spaced 6 feet apart during swim lessons.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work together to keep our community healthy and safe.

GREATER JOLIET AREA YMCA MISSION STRONG FUND For more than 90 years, the Greater Joliet Area YMCA has worked hand-in-hand with our neighbors to bring about meaningful change in our community. Even during times of crisis, the Y has found ways to support children, families and seniors living in the communities we serve.
HOW THE Y IS HELPING OUR COMMUNITY COMMUNITY HEALTH • The YMCA is offering free virtual fitness classes daily to ensure area residents can continue to embrace healthy lifestyles during this time.
HUNGER RELIEF • The Y is partnering with the Northern Illinois Food Bank to host mobile food pantries to ensure local residents have access to much-needed nourishment. MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT • To support those who are searching for ways to cope with anxiety and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Y is partnering with a local clinical professional counselor to host weekly discussions via Zoom as part of its Feelings Matter Conversation Series. YOUTH DEVELOPMENT • To support busy parents and to keep
children engaged when they aren’t participating in remote learning activities, the YMCA launched its Keeping Kids Connected initiative, which provides enrichment activities for kids of all ages using everyday materials families can find around their home.
SPIRITUAL SUPPORT • In keeping with our Christian mission and to support our community during these very uncertain times, the Y is hosting daily prayer calls. Led by a Y staff member, volunteer, or a local clergy, these calls continue to be a great source of daily reflection and encouragement.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH • Because we know the importance
of keeping a healthy mind, body and spirit, YMCA staff and volunteers are reaching out to members of our community to stay connected and to provide a listening ear during these uncertain times. 10 l 2020 Summer Program Guide — Galowich and Smith Family YMCAs
DONATE TO THE Y TODAY When our communities begin to reopen, the Y will once again assume its place as a welcoming center, providing residents of all ages with an opportunity to regain a sense of safety and connectedness. But, as a result of our COVID-19-related closure, the Y will need your financial support to ensure that our mission can continue to thrive in communities throughout Will and Grundy Counties. Please consider making a charitable gift to the Greater Joliet Area YMCA’s Mission Strong Fund to help ensure the long-term sustainability of our YMCA.
