2nd Grade

STINGRAYS

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 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn to swim by third grade, chances are â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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.

SWIM TEAM

The YMCA of Rock River Valley Stingrays Swim Team is a team that welcomes all swimmers and ability levels! We are a year round competitive swim team offering quality coaching and technique instruction for all ages. The goal of our team is to provide every member an opportunity to improve swimming skills and achieve success at his or her level of ability, from novice swimmer to national competitor. 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!

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. 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. Contact Karri Woolley at 815-885-6831 or kwoolley@rockriverymca.org to volunteer or receive more information regarding Togetherhood.

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.
