Water Smart Rule #6: Know What to Do (Before You Need To)

Emergencies don’t wait. Learn how to recognize signs of distress, call for help, and respond calmly. Don’t jump in the water to save a friend who is struggling – use a long object to reach for them and pull them to safety.

Bonus: Take a CPR or water safety class at your local Y, because heroes aren’t born, they’re trained.

Please note that the gymnasium at the YMCA at the Essentia Wellness Center will be closed on Friday, May 29th, from 5:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for curtain repairs and overhead equipment maintenance.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue investing in improvements for our members and community. Thank you!

Water Smart Rule # 5: Don’t Hold Your Breath (literally)

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.
