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(C) (3) 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<br />
Valley YMCA endeavors to secure grants and conduct annual fundraising<br />
campaigns and events, in order to provide financial assistance, charitable<br />
services, and access to people of all income levels. The Merrimack Valley<br />
YMCA 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 with the unique and diverse needs of the communities<br />
it engages. The Y’s activities have significantly enhanced public access to<br />
fitness, health, educational enrichment and numerous other services; especially<br />
among 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 />
Access/Membership Restrictions Policy<br />
The protection of members and guests who are participating in programs or<br />
are using YMCA facilities is of paramount concern to the staff of the Merrimack<br />
Valley YMCA. Therefore, we reserve the right to deny access or membership to<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 />

specialized<br />
tracks.<br />
