Gift The Skill Of Swimming
The YMCA of Oakville’s mission is to ensure everyone in Oakville and Halton Region has access to vital community programs and resources that support youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.
Knowing how to swim can save a life: yours or someone else’s. Swimming is an essential life skill and the YMCA has been teaching and training young swimmers in Oakville for over 20 years. Taught by certified YMCA instructors, our swimming lessons instill lifelong skills that help children be safe in and around the water. Not only that, certification as a lifeguard or swimming instructor can lead to employment and volunteer opportunities as young adults. Children and youth also develop leadership skills that can have a profound impact on their future success.
Unfortunately, not everyone has the same access or financial ability to learn these vital skills. And with the pandemic only amplifying barriers to a healthy life, families in our community need us more than ever. That is why we are on a mission to raise $85,000 in 2023 for our “FILL THE POOL” campaign. A gift of $250 will ensure no one is left behind and that children will be jumping in with both feet this year.
The YMCA has also received a generous matching donation offer from an anonymous donor that will multiply every dollar of your donation by 100% up to $100,000! Help fill the pool, and help build our community, today by donating and by saying thank you to our donor for supporting our YMCA.
