Detroit Swims Program
The YMCA’s Detroit Swims program announces the launch of a fundraising push to ensure all the city’s children will learn to swim by the 5th grade.
The YMCA began the program as a pilot one-year ago and because of its success plans to raise more than $100,000 annually to ensure Detroit’s 120,000 young residents eventually will receive YMCA swim lessons before the 5th grade.
the YMCA purpose
The purpose of the YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit is to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. As part of a worldwide movement of health seekers, YMCA members share a common goal of building strong communities through active, engaged lifestyles. With a focus on providing resources for families, the YMCA community welcomes new members, encouraging them to enrich spirit, mind and body.
