Drown Proofing Our Kids
The YMCA Okanagan Swims Program was created in 2012 to help drown-proof our kids. We donate funds from our event to run the program which sends 3rd graders in School District #23 (from Peachland, B.C. to Lake Country, B.C.) for free swimming lessons to teach them lifesaving water safety skills. So far we have sent over 18,000 kids and donated over $160,000 to this program.
