WELCOME TO THE<br />
MERRIMACK VALLEY YMCA<br />
Every day the Y’s impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice,<br />
when a mentor inspires a child and when a community comes together for a<br />
common good. As a 501(3) (c) volunteer-founded, volunteer-led organization<br />
the intent is to foster social connectedness, strengthen support networks, and<br />
encourage investment in our communities which in turn serves to strengthen<br />
the foundations of our community. This is all done at no cost to the neighboring<br />
cities and towns thereby lessening the burdens of government.<br />
Membership dues support everyday operations. However, the Merrimack Valley<br />
YMCA endeavors to secure grants and conduct annual fundraising campaigns<br />
and events necessary to sustain all the financial assistance, charitable services<br />
and provide access to people of all income levels. The Merrimack Valley YMCA<br />
provides millions of dollars each year in essential services and financial<br />
assistance initiatives focused on youth development, healthy living and social<br />
responsibility, aligned to the unique and diverse needs of the communities it<br />
engages. The Y’s activities have significantly enhanced public access to fitness,<br />
health, educational enrichment and numerous other services; especially among<br />
children, the disabled, the homeless, the needs associated with an aging<br />
community and other at-risk populations.<br />
The Y is, and always will be, dedicated to building healthy, confident, connected<br />
and secure children, adults, families and communities.<br />

LIVESTRONG ® AT THE YMCA<br />
LIVESTRONG ® at the YMCA is a free 12-week small group program for<br />
adult cancer survivors, family members and caregivers. Through this<br />
program, we support cancer survivors in the transitional period between<br />
completing their cancer treatment and the time of feeling physically and<br />
emotionally strong enough to return to their normal life.<br />
You do not have to be a YMCA member to participate; all participants<br />
will go through an interview process. Cost associated with the program is<br />
underwritten by the YMCA. Space is limited for each session, to allow for a<br />

is available to adult cancer survivors 18 + years.<br />

Well the YMCA’s synchronized swim team sure can! Come join us<br />
and watch this nationally ranked team of over 70 swimmers rocket<br />
through the air, twist and flip, turn and lift, and yet propel through<br />

routine. We promise you’ll be telling your friends about this show<br />

the water sport of long ago. This is a high-energy sport and a highenergy<br />
show! Check it out!<br />

Outcomes<br />
Accompanied by a<br />
parent, infants and<br />
toddlers learn to be<br />
comfortable in the<br />
water and develop swim<br />
readiness skills through<br />
fun and confidencebuilding<br />
experiences,<br />
while parents learn<br />
about water safety,<br />
drowning prevention,<br />
and the importance of<br />
supervision.<br />
Students learn personal water<br />
safety and achieve basic swimming<br />
competency by learning two<br />
benchmark skills:<br />
- Swim, float, swim—sequencing<br />
front glide, roll, back float, roll,<br />
front glide, and exit<br />
- Jump, push, turn, grab<br />
Having mastered the fundamentals,<br />
students learn additional water safety<br />
skills and build stroke technique,<br />
developing skills that prevent chronic<br />
disease, increase social-emotional<br />
and cognitive well-being, and foster a<br />
lifetime of physical activity.<br />
Students build<br />
confidence,<br />
cultivate their<br />
passion, and<br />
stay active<br />
through<br />
specialized<br />
tracks.<br />
