Young Mens Christian Association Of The Palm Beaches Inc

Healthy living and wellbeing:our ymca is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports and shared interest. Our region is rich with seniors and our active adult programs stress a three-way approach; to remain active and improve health, to rehabilitate after illness, injury or surgery; and to provide a safe place and quality time for social activities and engagement. Overall, our wellness programs ensure the people in our community are receiving the support, guidance, and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Being situated in south florida and close to the ocean, this area has the potential to subject families to traumatic incidents around the water. So not only are our aquatics programs a part of the ymca's overall goal of promoting wellbeing through regular exercise; awareness and knowledge of safety protocols are also highly considered. Our aquatics programs have advanced individuals through water survival classes and progressive swim lessons. These programs are offered at fees affordable to the area at large, with financial assistance for those who are unable to afford the full fee. Goals: a) promote wellness for persons of all ages; foster the enjoyment of preventative care of self, for children, teens, adults, and seniors. B) to bring families close togeather; encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun, and shared interests. C) provide support guidance and resources; to achieve greater health and well-being by holding nutritional and medical related seminars on the prevention and detection of health issues.
