Everyone needs physical activity to be healthy. And Move Your Way has tips and tools to help you and your family get more active!NATIONAL WATER SAFETY MONTH
Due to the pandemic, Idaho children missed out on many typical summer activities last year, including swim lessons. As National Water Safety Month kicks off this May, David Duro, Treasure Valley Family YMCA President and CEO, sees an increased need for these essential, life-saving programs.
“It’s critical now more than ever for parents to get their kids into swim lessons to not only learn to swim, or swim better, but also how to be safe around water and in the different aquatic environments,” said Duro. “Whether it’s at the Y or other organizations around the Treasure Valley, we must get kids water-safe to save lives.”
