Weekly Wellness Tip #19: Hydrate when you swim!

Just because you’re in the water does NOT mean you aren’t still sweating. Swimming is a full body workout, and you still lose fluids. Staying hydrated during your laps will help you maintain energy.

Bring a water bottle to your next swim and take small sips of water between laps or during a break!

Please see below for Kids Corner and Activity Center hours! ⬇️

PLEASE NOTE: As part of our summer hours, the Activity Center will now be open in the mornings, Monday through Friday, from 8:45 a.m. to Noon. These hours are effective until August 18.

Having a blast with the fun-flatables today! 🤪

Water Smart Rule # 5: Don’t Hold Your Breath!

Breath-holding contests? Yeah, let’s not. They might seem like harmless fun, but breath-holding games in the water can be seriously dangerous, even for strong swimmers.

Holding your breath too long can lead to shallow water blackout, a silent and sudden emergency that can happen without warning.

At the Y, we teach that water safety isn’t just about swimming, it’s about smart choices. So, skip the contests, and keep the fun safe for everyone.

Congratulations to Amy, Jessica, and Melissa on completing the Murph challenge this past weekend! You rock! 💪

It's a beautiful day to play! 😎

As a reminder, the Y will close at 1 p.m. today in observance of Memorial Day. We wish our Y community a safe holiday as we remember those who have given their lives for our country.
