STEM: PREPARING YOUTH TODAY FOR THE FUTURE Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) is an important part of youth development because it creates opportunities for youth to achieve, build relationships and feel a sense of belonging as they question, investigate, build, test, solve problems, analyze, communicate findings and perform cognitive thinking. Through our STEM programs, including enrichment offerings, programs at the F.M. Kirby Children’s Center and our summer day camps, we prepare youth today for the future.

We believe that all kids have potential and that nurturing that potential means fostering problem-solving, creativity, planning, analysis and decision-making skills. Our STEM programs provide youth with the skills needed to succeed.

WHY THE Y

Mom Joins Daughters in Learning to Swim at the Y

ilvia now swims with her family. That might not sound Sdidn’t like big news—but it is. The wife and mother of two know how to swim and was afraid of the water. One

thing Silvia was determined to make sure of as a result?

Her daughters Lupe and Luci would learn how to swim. And they did. From the age of 4, both girls took swim lessons at the Madison Area YMCA when they were in preschool at the F.M. Kirby Children’s Center of the Y. Silvia’s learning-how-to-swim story began one day when she had a free morning and decided to watch Luci at her swim lesson. “She was doing so great,” says Silvia, of the now 5-year-old who can swim a length of the pool. “I was talking to my 9 year old about how well her younger sister was doing in the water and then Lupe said to me, ‘Mom, it’s your turn now.’”

As Silvia contemplated the idea, she wondered if she could learn to swim at her age. Lisa Shannon, the Y’s aquatics director, assured her that she could and that it would be life-changing. “We all make sure our kids are safe and do all we can for them, but Silvia knew she had to learn to swim and do this for herself,” says Lisa.

Silvia signed up for 10 weeks of lessons, noting that she was embarrassed and nervous. Lupe and Luci’s encouragement was priceless. “They told me not to be afraid,” says Silvia. “I still wasn’t convinced I should do it but then I met other moms who signed up for lessons that felt the same way I did,” she says. “The four of us took lessons and learned to swim,” she says with a smile.

And then, Silvia signed up again. “I was improving, so I wanted more,” she says, adding “I overcame my fears. The girls began to say, “My mom floats!” laughs Silvia.

Now, Silvia and her husband Carlos frequently come to the Madison Area Y with their daughters for family swim time and fun in the water. “Before I learned how to swim, I would be sitting and watching everyone,” Silvia says, noting that knowing how to swim for safety around water is extremely important. Before she could swim, Silvia wasn’t comfortable taking her daughters to water activities unless her husband was present.

Silvia, Lupe and Luci continue to take weekly swim lessons at the Y. It’s a highlight in their week. Silvia also spreads the word that adults should learn how to swim!
