SIMI VALLEY, Calif. - Californer -- Registration is open for the YMCA's Safety Around Water (SAW) classes. The free, seven-session program provides water safety and basic swimming skills to youth and adults ages 5 and older with little or no water experience.
Weekly classes run from June 16 through August 9. Lessons are held during the late afternoon and early evening. SAW classes take place in the Simi Valley Family YMCA (3200 Cochran Street) and Yarrow Family YMCA (31105 Thousand Oaks Blvd., Westlake Village) indoor swimming pools.
Drowning can happen nearly anywhere with standing water — but as a parent or caregiver, you can't keep your kids sidelined. By equipping kids with the tools they need to be confident in and around water, they'll be able to reap the health benefits of exercise, bond with family and friends and take pride in their new skills — safely.
