With National Water Safety Month in May and summer around the corner, it’s a great time for parents to remember the importance of ensuring their children are equipped with essential water safety skills. Drowning is the second leading cause of death for children ages 5 to 14. According to the Florida Health Department, our state loses more children under age five to drowning than any other.

March 27 of this year marked the 60th anniversary of YMCA of the Suncoast, a charitable organization that began with a powerful idea and belief — to strengthen the foundations of community. It was our cause then, and it’s our cause today. This year we honored our volunteers, donors, members and partners for being ROCK SOLID in spirit, mind and body!
