Water Safety

The League of Dreams, Inc. collaborates with the YMCA to provide an adapted water safety program. Together with the YMCA, students are instructed in the Safety Around Water program. The Y’s Safety Around Water program teaches children of all ages and from all backgrounds that water should be fun, not feared. It is designed to teach students basic water safety skills. Each student is assessed to determine their proficiency in water skills to ensure their safety. Instructors work with each child to determine their comfort around water and develop a program to meet their needs. Students will receive 8 weeks of instruction, 45 minutes per session. Students are accompanied by school personnel to increase their comfort by being with familiar staff.
