Thank you for choosing the <strong>South</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>YMCA</strong>. Whether you have selected us for your childcare needs, fitness enhancements,<br />
swim lessons, camp opportunities, or teen programs, I’m glad you are here. At the <strong>YMCA</strong>, it is our goal to meet the needs<br />
<strong>of</strong> our community. If you have suggestions, ideas, or feedback that would help us to better meet those needs I hope you will<br />
share them with me or any <strong>of</strong> our staff members so that we can work towards improving the services we are able to provide<br />
each day. I appreciate you putting your trust in our organization and selecting us to meet the needs <strong>of</strong> your family. My door is<br />
always open and I love the opportunity to meet members. Please feel free to contact me at any time.<br />
Quality is very important to me and my staff. Everyday we try to find ways to improve the work that we do. One <strong>of</strong> the things<br />
you may notice is the format <strong>of</strong> this brochure. We hope we have made it a little easier for you to use so that program selection<br />
and information are more readily available to you. Input on our new format is welcome.<br />
In addition to our new format, I hope you will take the time to explore some <strong>of</strong> the new programs we are <strong>of</strong>fering. Check out<br />
our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – it’s a great workout and also a good self-defense technique for all ages. Take a look at some <strong>of</strong> the new<br />
<strong>of</strong>ferings from our awesome Camp department. We want to ensure summer is fun and exciting! We are also making an effort<br />
to expand our family programs. Parents with little ones – consider our new Stroller Fitness and Y Toddler Time – both great<br />
ways to interact with your kids. Want to shed a few pounds before summer? How about our Wellness Weight Loss Team Challenge?<br />
See any <strong>of</strong> our certified personal trainers for details on this great program.<br />
If you are a member <strong>of</strong> our <strong>YMCA</strong> you already enjoy the many benefits that your membership provides. If you are a participant<br />
in one or more <strong>of</strong> our great programs, please take a moment to explore all that a <strong>YMCA</strong> membership has to <strong>of</strong>fer you and your<br />
family. It is a core belief and practice at the <strong>YMCA</strong> that, as a part <strong>of</strong> a community, no one who wants to benefit from our many<br />
programs and services is turned away because they lack the financial resources. If there is any way I or any <strong>of</strong> our staff can be<br />
<strong>of</strong> help to you and your family, I hope you will let us know. We are always glad to provide information on financial assistance at<br />
any time.<br />
Sincerely,<br />

prior to class.<br />
Where can I observe my child during lessons?<br />
• We ask parents to remain in the designated viewing area.<br />
• Please do not move chairs. We ask parents to use this<br />
area to allow your child’s full concentration to be on the<br />
instructor and the lesson, as well as to allow the lifeguard<br />
to have full view <strong>of</strong> all areas in and immediately around<br />
the pool.<br />
What level should my child be in?<br />
• Children will be given midterm evaluations, which will<br />
indicate what level to register your child in for the following<br />
session.<br />
• If your child is new to our program or if it has been some<br />
time since your child has taken lessons, please contact us<br />
and we will do a level assessment.<br />

trained?<br />
• All children who are not potty trained must wear swim<br />

incidents can be drastically decreased if swimmers<br />

KAYAKING (ages 6+)<br />
Kayaking is a great sport for beginning or experiences paddlers.<br />
It can provide an opportunity for a peaceful connection<br />
to nature, and excitement to those thrill seeking daredevils<br />
who push the sport to the limits.<br />
INTRODUCTION TO KAYAKING<br />
One 2.5–hour lesson<br />
Learn the basics you need to know to paddle a kayak safely<br />
and effectively and have fun too. Using sit-on-top kayaks, we<br />
begin by learning how to control our boats. Once this skill is<br />
mastered we learn some maneuvers and techniques that make<br />
kayaking more fun and safe.<br />
Children under 10 must be accompanied in water by<br />
parent or guardian.<br />
COASTAL PADDLE<br />
One 3.5-hour lesson<br />
This is the next step after the Intro to Kayaking lesson. Lets<br />
get out there and practice your newly honed skills. Here is a<br />
chance to get some good distance under your keel and see<br />
the Chula Vista coast from a new perspective. This intermediate<br />
distance paddle is a challenge, and a great step in developing<br />
your kayaking skills under the supervision <strong>of</strong> our instructors.<br />
KAYAK CLUB<br />
Designed for those kayak enthusiasts who want to get some<br />
practice and make new friends. Kayaking is a great way to<br />
add some fun and variety into your fitness program.<br />
