RYE YMCA

2016 SPRING PROGRAM GUIDE Session 3: January 25- April 10 Session 4: April 11 - June 24

Welcome to the RYE YMCA! Dear Friends, You may have passed them a hundred times: framed lists in our second floor hallway of Developmental Assets® for children and teens. The term Developmental Assets might sound like something out of a sociology textbook, but it is actually an important list of the community and family supports every child needs to thrive.

As you know, the YMCA serves men, women and children of all ages and abilities. However, we know that if we reach children when they are very young, helping them to grow in character, skills and confidence, we help build stronger families and healthier communities. That’s why we’re constantly looking for ways to engage kids and give them opportunities to be their best selves.

As we throw open the metaphorical doors to a new year, our staff is excited about the programs they have planned for our young members. The Second Saturday Teen Nights for middle school students and the Family First Fridays really took off in 2015 and we look forward to offering these again in the coming months. The new ExerZone studio has been a huge hit, giving children and adults a fun, high energy work-out. We’re also offering alternatives to sports, including chess, Lego Engineering, origami, and cooking.

Kids having fun while exercising in our new ExerZone

Finally, we’re proud to be a founding member of Rye-ACT (Rye Action for Children and Teens), a new community coalition that is addressing the issue of underage drinking and substance abuse. (See page 45 for more about this initiative.)

Developmental Assets are more than a set of nice ideas. They’re the vital framework for a successful life.

And they’re the words we take to heart every day.

Sincerely, Gregg Howells

Gregg Howells Rye Y Executive Director

Mission Statement: The RYE YMCA is a family oriented community service organization which welcomes all people and promotes positive values through programs that build spirit, mind and body.

Although mine is not a dramatic story, the Rye Y has dramatically changed my life. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in, I love the new friendships I’ve formed, the flexible hours, the convenience of its location and especially the special women of the Tot Drop for my children.

Evaluation forms for swimming classes must accompany the registration form when registering for the next session. (If your child moves up, days and times may have to change.) If your child remains in the same class day and time, your space will be held for you the entire week of Rollover. However, if you have not re-registered during Rollover Week, you will have lost your placement in the class for the next session. Any class offered free is NOT eligible for rollover. This applies to both Family Members and Youth Members. Anyone wishing to re-register for these classes may do so by filling out a lottery form or going online.

Please note that Rollover week is not applicable when registering for summer and fall sessions.

MEMBER REGISTRATION - Mail in or Online Registration is mail in/drop off or online for all classes. Members' best chance of securing a place in a class is to use online registration (when available).

LIVESTRONG AT THE YMCA

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a FREE twelve-week, small group program designed for adult cancer survivors.

Our goal is to help participants build muscle mass and muscle strength, increase flexibility and endurance and improve functional ability. Additional goals include reducing the severity of therapy side effects, preventing unwanted weight changes and improving energy levels and self esteem. A final goal of the program is to assist participants in developing their own physical fitness program so they can continue to practice a healthy lifestyle, not only as part of their recovery, but as a way of life. In addition to the physical benefits, the program provides participants a supportive environment and a feeling of community with their fellow survivors, Y staff and members.

Y fitness instructors work with each participant to fit the program to their individual needs.

The instructors are trained in the elements of cancer, post rehab exercise and supportive cancer care. Classes are held weekdays with daytime and evening classes.

All my life I have envied people who can swim.

That little voice in my head would always say “someday.” Now I am 68 years old and profoundly deaf. I wondered how I would achieve my goal without the ability to communicate in the water. My mother didn’t swim, and my father had a near-drowning experience as a child so I didn’t have much exposure to pools or the ocean. Raising two children and work commitments took much of my time over the years, and time passes.

I’ve had a cochlear implant for the last ten years that enables me to hear when I’m wearing it. Until last year, the device could not be submerged in water. But Cochlear Americas came out with a waterproof encasement that would allow me to pursue my dream.

So last year I was excited to get started. I called and visited regional venues to try to find an instructor who is sensitive to my special needs. With less than two years until my 70th birthday, I felt that I am too old to NOT know how to swim. Online, I read testimonials from people like me who had their own fears. Coming to the Rye YMCA, everyone—starting with JoAnne at the front desk to Vickie Kortelis—alleviated my fears. Vickie was very generous with her time and explained it was doable.

Jessica, my swim instructor, is acutely attuned to who I am and is sensitive to my fears. I started out with the basics a child learns. In the beginning, I was just putting my face in the water and it was quite a feat. Now I feel comfortable in the pool! She’ll say “Let’s do that again, just one more time,” and it seems more doable in little pieces.

One day, coming across the length of the pool with my face in the water I could hear myself blowing bubbles and I thought to myself, I am really doing this! I love observing the swimmers from the lobby window. I take note of their form. Swimming looks like the most perfect exercise. Someday, it’ll be me doing laps like that in the Brookside pool. That’s enough to keep me going!

LAP SWIM

Ages 16 & up - Co-ed Morning, afternoon and evening hours available.

Schedule available at Member Services Desk or at www.ryeymca.org Swim caps required.

In early November, I represented the Sarasota Sharks in the Men’s 800 meter freestyle relay. We broke the world record by almost seven seconds for our age group.

I could not have done this without the Rye YMCA. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Swimming here in the early morning and later afternoon is perfect for me. I’ve really gotten to know the people I swim with well. The camaraderie lends itself to making new friends, from the chit-chat before the doors open to conversations in the locker room.

As a member of the Y you have a chance to give back. I participate in the swim fundraisers like the one supporting LIVESTRONG at the YMCA. I also enjoy lending a hand to help out a swimmer; just a few minutes ago I helped someone with their flip turn technique. Why would you want to go anyplace else?

FOR COMMUNITY: POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT “Everybody’s doing it.”

How many times as parents have we heard that assertion from a teenager? It might be stated as fact, or blurted in defiance, or uttered as a complaining whine. It might not even be voiced, but it’s there: the perception by kids that other kids are drinking alcohol or getting high on a regular basis. However, student surveys show that it’s just not true. Most kids are not engaging in risky behavior.

That’s the good news. And it’s one of the reasons the Rye Y joined other local leaders in forming Rye-ACT (Rye Action for Children and Teens). Rye-ACT is a broad-based, grassroots coalition that is mobilizing our community to prevent teen substance abuse and support healthy choices. As a youth-serving organization, we know that kids need positive reinforcement from all of the adults and institutions in their lives. Through RyeACT, we’re joining with schools, local businesses, churches and synagogues, law enforcement, elected officials, the Rye Youth Council and parents to convey a simple, yet powerful message to our teens: We care.

We’re not naïve. We know that some kids take dangerous risks. We know that peer pressure, stress and temptation are all too real for some kids. But we’re also hopeful. Hopeful that the strong embrace of our entire community will allow our teens to stand up and say “Not everybody is doing it. And neither am I.”

FOR COMMUNITY: Y CARES A member writes: Thank you for giving me the chance to share what Y Cares means. Simply said, it has helped me to keep my family on their track during a rough time. I had a place to exercise and connect with friends, my youngest spent time in the childcare while I sat in the lounge and worked and my other children stayed in the classes they love. The challenges and hard times were made so much easier with the support of the Y. I hope to be able to have the resources to help others some day through my contributions.

The Y Cares program allows the Rye YMCA to keep a powerful promise to the communities we serve: no-one will be turned away from Y programs and services because he or she can’t pay. In 2015 alone, the Y awarded over $498,000 in financial aid to 372 families and individuals in need. Scholarships allowed children to join their peers at camp, while membership subsidies gave individuals and families the full Y experience, often during difficult times. Your support helps us keep that promise every day.
