The YMCA is holding free lifeguard training sessions ahead of its June 24 ribbon-cutting
The Jackie Robinson Family YMCA’s long-awaited aquatics center is nearing completion and is finally set to open to the community later this month.
Swim lessons will begin on July 5, and the center will be offering 70 free swim lessons in July and August via a grant from the San Diego Prevent Drowning Foundation, according to YMCA officials.David Kreamer, the center’s new aquatics director, says what’s unique about the Jackie Robinson Family branch is the demographic it serves and how important the pool is to the community.
“There are about 36,000 kids between the ages of 8 and 12 in that service area who have never had a swim lesson,” Brunker added. “Every child should be taught how to swim.” Ahead of the pool’s opening, the YMCA is also hosting free lifeguard and swim instructor training sessions this month for eligible applicants.
Moreover, Kreamer says the Junior Lifeguard Program will create a pathway to securing a job. All who pass the training, as well as an interview and swim tryout, will receive a job offer for the new aquatic center, the YMCA branch said.
