YMCA Water Safety Returns to Schools | Pierre News

The YMCA’s lifesaving Water Safety program is roaring back this school year, hitting classrooms in Pierre and Fort Pierre with a mission: equip kids with real skills to stay safe around water. After a pause, it’s restarting with fifth graders who missed out during the pandemic, then moving down to younger students. Each hour-long session blends classroom lessons with hands-on pool time, teaching critical techniques like “Swim, Float, Swim” — simple, memorable, and vital. Designed for fun while staying serious, this initiative is set to launch soon with school sign-ups — because no child should ever be left unprepared near water.
