Ever find yourself saying, “One day, I’m definitely signing the kids up for swim lessons”—and then one day never quite shows up? Maybe it's a time thing. Maybe it's a budget thing. Maybe your child once declared the bathtub “lava” and you figured water could wait.
Well, the Carlisle Family YMCA is here to make “one day” a reality—and this time, dinner’s included. 🍽️💦
🏊 Safety Around Water is Back—And It’s Completely Free!
From April 28 through May 1, your kids can dive (well, more like wade safely) into FREE swim lessons and water safety instruction—thanks to the YMCA’s Safety Around Water program. This four-day event runs from 6:00–6:45 PM each night, and yes, you read that correctly: it costs absolutely nothing.
But wait—it gets better.
Each child who participates also gets dinner at the end of the lesson. We repeat: FREE swim lessons + FREE food = parental win of the week. 🙌
Thank you to the amazing Mike Pasquarett for sponsoring this splashy community gift!
💧 Why This Matters (Even If Your Kid is More Into Minecraft Than the Pool)
Water safety is one of those life skills that you really want your kid to master before summer. Whether you’re heading to the beach, hitting up the neighborhood pool, or just surviving backyard sprinkler season, knowing how to stay safe around water is crucial.
Plus, let’s be honest—there’s only so long you can keep faking your best swim coach voice at the hotel pool shouting, “Good job! Now float like a pancake, not a banana!”

👶 Who’s It For?
Kids who need a crash course in not panicking when they get splashed. No previous swim experience required—just a willingness to try, a towel, and maybe a post-lesson “you did it!” dance party.
This program is especially ideal for families who’ve wanted to enroll in swim lessons but have been held back by the cost. It’s the Y’s way of saying: every child deserves to be safe around water.
🌟 Real Talk: Why You Should Sign Up Now
You could wait until summer to teach your kids water safety… right before tossing them in the pool with floaties and a prayer.
Or—you could take advantage of this awesome, free, no-strings-attached program and send your kids into summer like confident little mer-people.
They’ll learn life-saving skills, have fun, and you’ll get a night off from making dinner. Win, win, and win.
