Aquatics Policy: new!

TEST * MARk * PROTECT At the SOUTH SHORE YMCA, we are committed to keeping all patrons as safe as possible while swimming.

As such we have implemented a swim safety program in the Aquatics Department called Test * Mark * Protect. All children under 14 will be given a swim Test.

Based on the swim test, or their age, individuals will be given a colored band to wear in the pool that will Mark what areas of the pool they may use. Using this system will help us further Protect the children who use our pool.

Swim test results will be stored and members will also receive a colored membership tag to bring with them to the pool to receive their bracelet. This will allow a convenient way for us to know each child’s color and swim ability each time they arrive at our pool or the Y. Swim Tests will not need to happen every time you come to swim unless the child wants to try for a higher level or their swim ability has changed drastically.

new!

Preschoolers Guided Discovery of the Water We are very excited in our new state of the art facility to roll out changes within our Aquatics Department. Our preschool swim program will no longer be using bubbles. Our new shallow water pool is a perfect learning environment for these youngsters to make progress.

The preschooler’s ability to learn and adjust to the water will be enhanced by being able to explore the water where they can comfortably stand, guided by their instructor. Our shallow water pool ranges from 32” to 48” at its deepest.

If your child has not participated in swim lessons anywhere during the fall it would be most beneficial to have them evaluated. This way we would know where they would comfortably fit in our new program. Our program will now closely match our sister branch, the EMILSON YMCA, who has not used bubbles in quite some time.

big brothers big sisters Ages 7–18 Every child can benefit from having a dedicated friend outside of the family, someone who is there for that child and spends time with him or her because they want to. The SOUTH SHORE YMCA has partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters in Boston to offer a traditional one-to-one mentoring program for youths in the Quincy area.

To find out more about this program, please contact Phil at ext. 183.

Ages 18+ Being a “Big” is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding things you’ll ever do. As a Big, you get to be a kid again for a couple of hours every couple of weeks and in the process change a kid’s perspective on life.

If you are interested in having fun while being a positive influence on a young life, please contact Courtney at cgray@ssymca.org.

Come Feel the Spirit at CAmP BurGeSS & HAYwArd Established in 1928, the SOUTH SHORE YMCA Camp Burgess for boys and Hayward for girls are located on Cape Cod, just one hour south of Boston, and situated on over 300 acres of forests, meadows and sparkling freshwater ponds. Camp offers a variety of enriching programs throughout the year appealing to all ages and interests.

Join us for February Vacation!

February 16th-21st, 2014 Ages 13-17 Since 1982, the Germantown Neighborhood Center (GNC) has been providing critical support services, needed resources, programs and workshops to the youth and families of the Germantown and neighboring communities of Quincy. Located within one of Quincy’s largest public housing developments, the GNC serves a community of mostly low-income, singleparent households and works with support and guidance from the SOUTH SHORE YMCA to identify and develop strategies to address community needs.

Our youth programs give kids a safe environment where they can grow and learn positive values that they will carry with them for a lifetime. Our after school youth programs run from September to June and include: Sports Blast, Fun Size Fitness, Reading Round Up, Dancing Divas and Girl Scouts to name a few. School vacation camps run during February, April and during the summer months for grades K–12. Women’s programs are designed to get women out of the house and build relationships with other women who are in the same situation. Childcare and dinner are often provided. Women are encouraged to bring the whole family while mom engages in skill-building workshops with other women. Our Family Lifelong Learning programs encourage literacy and educational achievement through our GED programs, or Teen Success programs. Our food pantry serves residents all over the City of Quincy with food assistance.

We continually work to raise more money, add more programs, and do all that we can to help. Our programs and services work toward giving community members the skills, confidence, and resources to take action and improve their lives.

Speed Training for Runners

Are you running on the same roads or treadmill at the same speed every day?

If so, you’re using the same muscles in the same manner every time you lace up your sneakers. Whether you run short or long distance, 5Ks or marathons, you cannot rely solely on easy to moderate intensity. In order to become a faster runner and improve your overall fitness, you have to incorporate speed workouts. Join a supportive group of runners of all abilities and train on the outdoor track with a focus on sprinting for efficiency, flexibility, coordination, muscle power and speed.

SOUTH SHORE YMCA ANNUAL CAMPAIGN

The Y. So Much More™

The Y is a cause, dedicated to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. For years, we’ve been proud to help our neighbors learn, grow and thrive. Yet we’re called to do so much more.

The South Shore faces new challenges that create a greater need than ever for the work we do every day. Fortunately, where some see obstacles, we see opportunities to make a difference.

What does so much more mean? Together, we will: • Expand youth programs to nurture the potential of every child and teen • Focus specific programs on reducing chronic disease and childhood obesity • Educate every generation to protect and preserve our natural resources through environmental and natural science education

cut out and save

• Offer a wide range of camp experiences that through developing independence and fostering a sense of acceptance and belonging, cultivate the future leaders of tomorrow

We need your philanthropic support to make it happen.

Every gift makes a difference.

Together, we can achieve so much more. ssymca.org/donations
