In an effort to eliminate drownings and keep children safe this summer, the YMCA of Greater Houston is launching free virtual swim, learn to swim and water safety videos as part of its Safety Around Water program.

With the impact of COVID-19 the Safety Around Water program will look different, however the YMCA is committed to providing necessary resources and keeping families safe this summer.

“Educating our community on water safety and best swim practices has always been a part of the Y’s curriculum and we will continue to respond and reinvent ways to connect with the community and meet needs,” said President & CEO, YMCA of Greater Houston, Stephen Ives.

“Teaching children how to swim and be safe around water is one of the most important life skills parents can help their children learn and we are glad to be a resource for Houston and surrounding area residents.”
