Registration Open For Free YMCA Safety Around Water Classes

Registration is open for Safety Around Water (SAW) classes at the Simi Valley Family YMCA and Yarrow Family YMCA. The free, five-session program provides water safety and basic swimming skills to children ages 5 to 13 with little or no water experience.

Session dates are from July 29 to August 31 with lessons held during the late afternoon and early evening. SAW classes take place in the Simi YMCA (3200 Cochran Street) and Yarrow YMCA (31105 Thousand Oaks Blvd., Westlake Village) indoor swimming pools.

The YMCA can offer SAW classes at no cost because of donations from the community.
