E X E C U T I V E D I R E C TO R Craig Panzano FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT D I R E C TO R Susan Cossette Eng Everyone can make a difference in supporting our community’s youth! For more information, contact the YMCA Development Office at (203) 966-4528, ext.142.
Each year, the All Kids campaign helps the Y build Developmental Assets among our community’s kids by funding these charitable initiatives: • Membership
and program scholarships. Everyone deserves the Y, and we turn away no one for economic reasons, age, race, or religion. Our financial assistance program is made possible by generous support of the All Kids campaign, and in 2009 we awarded more than $270,000.
• Inclusive
and specialized programs for those with special needs. From inclusive and specialized programs to our flagship Special Cares Camp program, the annual campaign helps everyone truly belong at the YMCA.
• Subsidies
for essential mission-based programs, keeping them affordable to all. Many Y programs that build character and support youth do not cover their operating costs.
• Seed
funding for new programs, so that the Y may continue to respond to our community’s changing needs.
• YMCA World
Service work, such as our partnership with Facing the Future in Kibera, Kenya and our recent support of Americares’ Haitian relief efforts.
“Thanks to the Y staff—and all the donors—who make this wonderful camp program possible. You are shaping the lives of some very special children.” – 2009 Financial Assistance Recipient
Because of you. . .
Help us meet this year’s goal: $325,000
•
The YMCA awarded more than $270,000 in membership and program assistance last year to those in need, up 12% from the previous year.
•
We served more than 165 children and teens with special needs through mainstream and specialized programs through our Special Needs Initiative.
•
The Y provides safe, healthy after-school and weekend fun for 2,100 teen members.
•
450 kids had the time of their life at camp last summer, with more than $70,000 in financial assistance awarded.
THE YMCA’S WORK. . .
Backed By Research As a “community within a community,” the New Canaan YMCA is uniquely positioned to provide young people with many of the relationships and experiences they require to grow into strong, healthy adults. Minneapolis-based social research organization Search Institute has conducted extensive research among hundreds of thousands of young people, identifying building blocks of development necessary to all kids. The more of these so-called “Developmental Assets” young people experience, the more they thrive. Conversely, young people who report a lack of these experiences engage in risky behavior.
The New Canaan YMCA builds Developmental Assets among our community’s most precious assets: kids.
Did you know: The New Canaan YMCA provides 29 of the 40 Developmental Assets to thousands of young people in our community each and every day. Learn more: Visit www.search-institute.org.

GENERAL
Aquatic Information DON’T FORGET
Family Swim Info:
To pick up your Fish Pass at the Member Check-In Desk when swiping your membership card.
Fish Pass is in effect!
Family swims are intended for those with Family memberships. If you’re a non-member, you may participate in our family swims based on the following fees: •
0-14 years - $5.00; 15-21 years - $15.00; Adult $30.00; Adult M/C or W/C - $50.00
•
FISH PASS PROCEDURE IN EFFECT DURING ALL FAMILY SWIMS; WEEKDAY MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SWIMMERS IS 25. (Weekend Family Swims times: Max. is 50 if 2 guards are on duty.)
• •
Children 10 years & younger and non-swimmers of any age MUST have an adult (18 years or older) in a bathing suit in the pool area at all times in order to participate in Family Swim. NON -SWIMMERS OF ANY AGE AND CHILDREN USING A SWIM AID MUST HAVE A PARENT IN THE POOL NO MORE THAN AN ARM’S LENGTH AWAY FROM CHILD AT ALL TIMES. LIFEGUARDS WILL ENFORCE ALL POOL RULES AND GUIDELINES.
•
•
Due to the overwhelming number of members attending weekend Family Swim, our concerns for safety, and the legal capacity of the pool, we have a special procedure for Family Swims on Saturdays and Sundays: Only 50 people are permitted in the Recreational Pool at one time. Fish passes will be available at the Membership Check-In Desk. When swiping your membership card, please pick up your Fish Pass. Each Fish Pass entitles the holder to enter the Recreational Pool for a 45-minute swim. Passes are to be handed to the lifeguard and your last name given. If at the end of your 45-minute swim, there is no one waiting and passes are available, you can renew for another 45 minutes. Once all 50 passes have been given out, members will have to wait outside of the pool area until the next passes become available.
New Canaan YMCA Aquatics
“NO SECOND CHANCE” SAFETY FOR ALL • Three children die each day from drowning. • For every child that drowns, another 4 receive emergency care for non-fatal injuries. • Non-fatal drowning can cause brain damage that results in long-term disabilities. • 1 in 4 drownings occur among children 14 years old and younger. The New Canaan YMCA Aquatic Department implemented a campaign called “NO SECOND CHANCE” with their Camp Waterfronts two summers ago to address the need of educating staff on drowning situations that occur in the summer months. Last year, we implemented it with our year-round staff to focus on safety for all who use our pools. We now conduct mandatory swim testing on all members who use our pool during Family Swim times. Information on procedures for this swim testing will be available on our website and posted around our facility. All those attending Family Swim will need to be tested before participating in Family Swim. Aquatic staff will be available to test members 15 years and younger during all Family Swim times.

Bouncing Bears Gymnastics The New Canaan YMCA offers programs at the following levels: S PA R K L E R S (Kindergarten & 1st Grade) This beginner class is a starting point for those ready for a structured format in our recreational gymnastics program. Our instructors will incorporate a fun, caring environment with a learning atmosphere, to help children develop basic gymnastic moves that will help them improve involvement in all sports, especially gymnastics. Our goal is to allow children to have fun while having a gymnastics experience. We will challenge athletes individually. Skills include basic tumbling, and we encourage the YMCA’s four core values. JUMPERS (Ages 7-9) A beginner group for children who want to expand their gymnastic experience, this is a structured class that includes emphasis on flexibility, conditioning strength, apparatus station development, and age-appropriate gymnastic activities. We will encourage participation among everyone, to help improve their gymnastic skills and increase each child’s enjoyment of the sport. Basic skills such as cartwheels, handstands, bridges, somersaults, and some beam and bar moves are the focus of this program.
FLIPPERS (Ages 9-12) Beginner-to-intermediate program, which is similarly structured to the Jumpers class. This class will emphasize skills at a more advanced level and is designed for those looking to reach the developmental level. Skills such as cartwheels, handstands, and somersaults should be mastered. We will improve upon these skills, as well as focus on more advanced skills, such as front and back walkovers, roundoffs, front and back-hip circles, and pirouettes. D E V E L O P M E N TA L P RO G R A M (Coaches Invitation Only) The most advanced level of our recreational gymnastics program, this program is for gymnasts who have previously been through structured gymnastics classes and are now ready for more intensive training. Gymnasts will train with others of the same ability and skill level who are looking to showcase their skills in a low-key environment. Skill sets include all apparatus. We will enhance upon front and back handsprings, arials, round-off sequences and more. We will work pirouettes and cartwheels, as well as back walkovers. Bars will include cast squat-ons, cast to horizontal, kips, and dismounts. Other basic and competitive skills on various apparatus will be the main focus of this class.
