Many changes are coming to our pool’s programming and operations in February! Anytime a change is made it is done for the best interest of our members and with safety always coming first.
We are pleased to announce an opportunity to help keep our facility and pool safe. Our February 2021 Lifeguard Certification course is now open for signups!
What does becoming a lifeguard mean? On paper, it means you have 2 years of an active certificate in Lifeguarding, CPR, and First Aid training through the American Red Cross. In practice, becoming a lifeguard teaches us teamwork and responsibility. At work, it means flexible hours and a summertime tan. In life, it gives us the skills to save a life.
Lifeguarding certification looks good for summer jobs, becoming a babysitter, and even on college applications!
For questions about this class, you can email [email protected]. To register and reserve your spot, you can sign up here: https://tinyurl.com/yxj4aovc

How many chin-ups can you do in three minutes? This Thursday, our friend Bart Talloen is going to attempt the world record – and he’s raising money for the Princeton Family YMCA while he’s at it.

We love watching students interact with guests during our weekly video interview series "Paths to Success." Last night, Mitch Henderson, the head coach of Princeton's Men's Basketball Team, told 8th grader Luca about the greatest lesson he's ever learned – and it's a good lesson for us all.
