Changing Lives

May is National Water Safety Month and our Y is joining with Ys across the country to raise awareness of the critical need for children of all ages to know how to be safe in the water.

On May 17, 2013 State Representative Becky Corbin presented a proclamation designating May Drowning Prevention and Water Safety Month in a ceremony at our Brandywine Y.
