YOUTH SWIMMING The YMCA’s Youth Swim Program is for youth 6 years or older. The ultimate goal of Y lessons is to develop the whole person; physically, mentally, and spiritually. Youth courses are student centered and designed to respect the individuality of each participant while encouraging their ability. 2ND GRADE SWIM LESSONS

POLLIWOG

Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death for children under fourteen. The YMCA of Rock River Valley believes that all children should know how to swim and be safe in and around water. For this reason, the Y is offering a new 2nd Grade Swim Program for a discounted price. Second grade is an ideal time for young people to take on new challenges, learn more skills and enhance their feelings of mastery and competence. Research shows that if a child doesn’t learn to swim by third grade, chances are – he or she never will. The Y is committed to wiping out childhood drowning. Through our new 2nd Grade Swim Lessons all children in our community can learn to swim. In order for your child to participate in the program you must sign up at the desk and show proof that your child is in 2nd grade at any local school. Offer good for classes taken September 2015-May 2016.

Designed for the new swimmer, this class will teach the basic front and back paddle strokes while developing water comfort and independence. Polliwogs will be taught to float independently, swim 25 yards on their front and back with support and 10 yds independently. Classes are one day a week. (Max5,Min3)

We are a year round competitive swim team offering quality coaching and technique instruction for all ages.

Every swimmer is important to our team! Every swimmer is responsible for themselves and to their teammates to work hard at every drill and practice. Coaches encourage and reinforce this with positive comments. Swimmers are held responsible to talk kindly and encourage each other to do his or her best. Coaches format workouts to encourage the fastest possible growth in stroke development, power, and speed in the water. Practices are challenging and FUN! AGES: 5-21

TOGETHERHOOD

ROCKFORD SERVICE CORPS

Togetherhood is a YMCA initiative that invites Y members to activate their social responsibility by participating in the Y’s cause to strengthen community. This initiative provides Y members with fun, convenient and rewarding ways to give back and support their neighbors through member–generated service projects and other charitable endeavors. Togetherhood serves to bring the Y back to its roots as volunteer–powered association of people who wish to make a difference.

The Y is currently seeking community members to become part of our AmeriCorps service program. Individuals work with a diverse group of children and teens through various types of service work, such as mentorship, community service projects and many others. These AmeriCorps members will work on a part–time basis and will receive monthly living stipends, and an educational award to be used for future or current educational costs upon the completion of service. This is a great way for students and recent grads to gain new skills and professional experience, serve their community and build their resumes.

We are currently seeking Y members who wish to serve their community. We have a variety of ways to get involved in the Togetherhood initiative, and we strongly encourage our members to learn more.

For more information, contact the Sharetha Lewers at 779-774-4427.

Call 779-500-0800 or email togetherhood@rockriverymca.org to volunteer or receive more information regarding Togetherhood.

We invite you to share your concerns with us so we can support you in prayer.

There you can anonymously drop off any prayer requests you might have. There is no limit to how many requests you may make. A team of pray-ers, including the Y chaplains will pray regularly over these requests. Strict confidentiality will be adhered to.

There is a time for community prayer every Wednesday morning from 7am-8:30am at the Log Lodge of the I.D. Pennock Family Y. All are welcome. It is a drop in event, so come for as long or as short as you like. From June through August we move the prayer time to Anderson Gardens to accommodate other use of the Lodge.

If you have something on your mind, need prayer, or just want someone to talk to, let us know. Our chaplains are mostly local pastors, or people engaged in ministry in the community. If you have a need, we will connect you to one of the team. We are also willing to volunteer to help in any area of need that we can.

DEVOTIONS We send out a weekly, brief devotion to all staff, and offer it to anyone else who wants it. Just contact Gary to be added to the email list.
