Good afternoon, Swim Families,

We are so excited to welcome everyone back to the pool and get our season underway!

As a reminder, please make sure you have carefully followed all of the instructions included in your swimmer’s placement group email. There are several steps that must be completed before your child can participate.

Your child’s YMCA membership must be active before we can register them for swim team. In addition, you must have a credit or debit card on file to process program payments. If you currently pay your YMCA membership through your bank account, we will still need a card on file for swim team and other program charges.

Please remember:

• Credit card payments are subject to a 3% surcharge.
• Debit card payments do not have a surcharge.
• ALL registration requirements must be completed before your swimmer may enter the water for practice.

Please do not wait until the last minute to complete these steps. We want everyone’s first practice to go smoothly and do not want anyone to miss time in the water because their registration is incomplete.

I have also included information about a few exciting programs available to our YMCA families this fall.

Y Community Market – Thursday, August 20 | 4:30–7:00 PM
Our Y Community Market begins this week! This is a monthly food distribution program offering free groceries to families who may need a little extra support. Please take a moment to review the flyer, register if this would benefit your family, and feel free to share the information with neighbors, friends, and other families in your community. This will be every third Thursday of each month. 

Virtual SAT Bootcamp
We are also offering an SAT Bootcamp workshop for interested high school students. Please review the flyer for registration instructions. This is a virtual program, and we plan to offer additional opportunities throughout the school year.

Your YMCA membership provides access to so much more than just the pool! I encourage you to check with our front desk, watch for flyers, and ask about programs and opportunities available for everyone in your family.

We are here to serve you, and I will continue to share information and opportunities as they become available. Please never hesitate to ask questions or let me know how I can help.

We are so happy to have everyone back at the pool and are looking forward to a great season!

Best,
Caroline del Carmen
