YWCA Quad Cities is changing lives one lesson at a time!
Swimming is considered an essential life skill to have. Some might say crucial, especially when you live in the Quad Cities where there are several bodies of water. At the YWCA Quad Cities in Rock Island, we are so fortunate to have an indoor aquatic center. Our ThePlace2B students are able to swim weekly. After seeing some of the students not confident in their swimming abilities, we recently started offering them swim lessons.
Since the swim lessons have started, you can see our students’ confidence grow. Last week, with the support of his peers, one of our students was able to swim across the pool and earned a wristband for being able to go into the deep end!
This is just one of the many examples of how we are seeing our students grow, not only in their swimming abilities but in their confidence and perseverance. We are proud of their hard work and the encouragement they show one another.
The YWCA Quad Cities offers private swim lessons. If you or someone you know is interested, stop by the front desk for more information!
