Water Safety & Healthy Kids Day at the YMCA

Saturday, May 17 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
YMCA & Yakima Rotary Aquatic Center

The Yakima Family YMCA invites you to a special day of fun, learning, and community connection at our Water Safety & Healthy Kids Day! This free event brings together two powerful initiatives—Healthy Kids Day, the YMCA’s national effort to promote youth health and wellness, and Water Safety Month, our local commitment to keeping families safe around water.

For over 30 years, YMCAs across the country have hosted Healthy Kids Day events to inspire families to keep their minds and bodies active all summer long. By combining this tradition with our water safety efforts, we’re offering an exciting, educational experience the whole family can enjoy.

What You Can Expect:

• Interactive Family Activities

• Healthy Snacks & Giveaways

• Family Fitness Classes

• Safety Resources & Community Booths

• Games, Movement, and More!

We’re also excited to welcome the Yakima County Sheriff’s Department, who will be onsite offering free boat inspections—the perfect opportunity to get summer-ready before hitting the water.

Whether you're looking to burn off some energy, learn about water safety, or simply enjoy a day out with your family, this event is for you. There’s something for everyone, and more details will be shared as we get closer to the date, so stay tuned!
