This weekend: Make a splash at Tot and Me swim classes!

13 November 2015 - by Nicole Meredith

It may be getting chilly outside, but the YMCA's indoor aquatic centres let you enjoy pool time year-round! This weekend, splash around in the Toronto Sheppard Ave. YMCA's Tot & Me program.



What is Tot & Me?


This program allows you to introduce your toddler to a recreational swim environment in a safe, fun setting. From 2:00 pm - 4:45 pm this Saturday, the entire Training Pool at the Toronto Sheppard Ave. YMCA will be reserved for parents and their children under 5 years old. You can feel comfortable playing with your toddler, knowing you won't be crowded out by older, more experienced swimmers.



How will my child benefit?  


Kids who spend time in the water from a young age grow up to be more confident swimmers. By introducing your children to a recreational swim environment now, you're setting them up for a safer future. You'll also get to enjoy a few hours of uninterrupted quality time together! New experiences make for beautiful memories you can cherish for years to come.



How do we get involved?  


The Toronto Sheppard Ave.'s Tot & Me time is a drop in program, so all you have to do is show up! You can arrive as early as 2:00 pm, and leave whenever you've had your fill of fun, until 4:45 pm. Bring comfortable swim wear that will let you enjoy yourself!


Don't forget: you can take advantage of the Toronto Sheppard Ave. YMCA's family-friendly programs no matter where you live, or whichever YMCA you usually go to. Your membership is all-inclusive, so take advantage of the endless range of programs we have to offer!


As you explore our different programs and centres, be sure to share the memories you're making. We'd love to hear which class is your favourite, or if you enjoyed giving a new centre a try!
