Empowering Youth: Resilience Through Swim Lessons Spring 2025
Some youth taking Star Level swim lessons this spring will be part of a special project. YMCA staff will be collecting data to understand if participating in swim lessons changes how resilient children feel. Resilience means how well they can handle challenges and bounce back from tough times.
Why are we doing this? Improving resilience in youth is a goal in the YMCA HBB's plan for the year. We believe that by being part of the YMCA community, your child can build strong relationships and develop healthy habits. This helps them become more resilient.
Read this information letter for more details on this initiative.
Please complete this opt-out form if you DO NOT wish your child to complete the resilience survey as part of the Star swim lesson programming this spring at Les Chater and Laurier Brantford. This form will close on April 13, 2025
