Before Covid-19, families in Connecticut struggled to afford the cost of living,
the cost of child care and the cost of enrichment opportunities. Since the
global pandemic began affecting all of our communities and the youth, adults
and families who live within them, the Central Connecticut Coast YMCA met
these challenges head on, and never stopped supporting those we serve.

The Soundview Family YMCA stands by our commitment to serve ALL, and the
success of our outreach and impact depends upon the success of our Annual
Campaign. The Y is a charitable non-profit organization committed to
overcoming barriers of success for ALL.

When you donate to the Soundview Family YMCA’s Annual Campaign, you help
us best serve and respond to the greatest needs in our community.

All contributions to the YMCA provide direct financial assistance for ALL who
need it.

DONATE FOR A BETTER US.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
               SWIM LESSONS
 STRONG SWIMMERS = CONFIDENT KIDS
 For more than 160 years, the YMCA has nurtured potential and united communities across America to
 create lasting, meaningful change. Everything the Y does is in service of building a better us. One of the
 most effective ways to accomplish this is to teach youth, teens, and adults to swim, so they can stay
 safe around water and learn the skills they need to make swimming a lifelong pursuit for staying
 healthy.
 Our Y swim instructors are nationally certified. Their training includes CPR, AED, First Aid and Oxygen
 Administration. All swim instructors will be wearing masks and leading non-contact instructions. They
 will be providing lessons, while socially distanced in the water and from the pool deck.
 Swim Starters and Swim Basics classes require one parent* to participate in the pool and on the
 pool deck. Groups will be socially distanced from others.
 Swim lessons provide important life skills that could save a life and will benefit students for a lifetime.
 All ages - from infants to seniors - can learn to swim at the Y. Check out our class offerings to find one
 that fits your family’s busy schedule.
 *At the Y, we know families take a variety of forms. As a result, we define parents broadly to include all adults with primary responsibility for raising children, including biological
 parents, adoptive parents, stepparents, grandparents or any type of parenting relationship.

SUPPORTING WELLNESS TOGETHER                            TRAINER SPOTLIGHT
The YMCA's Weight Loss Program is designed to
help adults seeking a healthier weight achieve
their goals by making small changes to their daily
behaviors and forming sustainable healthy
habits. Participants joining the program should be
ready to commit to daily food and physical activity
tracking, as well as developing self-designed action
plans. The 12-week program helps participants
build skills for successful lifestyle changes, as
opposed to advocating any specific or restrictive
short term solution.

Each week, participants will weigh-in privately with
the facilitator, be introduced to a new topic
relevant to weight loss, discuss as a group
successes/challenges/suggestions around the
topic, and develop goals for the upcoming week.
