Full Scholarships for Summer Swim Lessons - Caldwell Y

The Caldwell Family YMCA has a grant to provide full scholarships for swim lessons to hundreds of local kids.  If your kids qualify from free or reduced lunch or if they are of Hispanic, African American or Native American descent then they may qualify for this program, where the whole cost of the lessons is paid for. Sign-ups are going fast as word of mouth spreads, so get in right away. To sign up for this program, parents need to sign up for lessons at the front desk of the Caldwell Y. Lessons will be provided to qualifying kids between age 0 and 18, as space is available.  If your kids are not in one of those categories then the Y also has financial assistance available if you need it.

It is good for kids to get involved in something during the summer vacation.  The Caldwell Y and the Caldwell City Rec programs both have excellent options available.
