Sites indicated by a symbol in this guide are funded in part by The
Children’s Trust. The Trust is a dedicated source of revenue established by

THEYISALLABOUTMORE.The more support,
guidance and opportunities we give kids...the more amazing qualities
they’ll get out. The more they get out, the more they can achieve
growing up. That’s why we provide kids a healthy, caring environment
of fun, learning and belonging to help them reach their fullest potential.
And that’s why we celebrate Healthy Kids Day, our biggest day of the
year devoted to kids and MORE!

WaterSafetyandSwimLessons
Broward County leads the nation in accidental drowning deaths among
children under 4, and Miami-Dade is second. Drowning Prevention is a
priority for the YMCA in South Florida. Each year the YMCA educates
parents and the community on the risks of drowning and need for
drowning prevention measures like water safety and swim lessons. Plus, we
provide free swim lessons to hundreds of children to make them safer in,
on and around the water.
