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.

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.

HEALTHY LIVING ADULT FITNESS 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. JOHNNY TORRES, PERSONAL TRAINER Topics covered during the program include balanced eating, physical activity, stress and sleep, Every new morning I give thanks. I ask for positive psychology, goal setting, and guidance and give thanks some more. I ask how sustainability. can I be a blessing today, how can I serve?
