Swim & Safety Program with the YMCA and Autism Society!

Swim & Safety Program Starting!

Swim & Safety Program Starting!

The partnership between the YMCA of Greater Kansas City Aquatics Department and the Autism Society-The Heartland has started back up! Last year we had 6 centers participate and we were able to assist 65 individuals ages 3 to 21 with autism, learn basic water safety and share valuable information with their parents or caregivers on  wandering and safety in their community. This year we are spreading out our programs and will have 8 centers participate throughout the year, but we have limited space available. These swim lessons will be one on one with trained instructors for 6 weeks and the cost is $20. If you have gone through the program 2 times before, please allow for others to sign up for these programs. To sign up for these locations they are first come- please email or call us. You can also register online for the Platte Co program that starts this Friday.
