A NOTE FROM OUR CEO CHRIS STENBERG Dear YMCA Friends, As your new CEO, I must start by saying thank you! The support and dedication of our staff, board of directors, members and partners are what positions this YMCA as a meaningful and relevant member of our community. Wonderful things are happening each and every day here at the Y. 2017 was another year of change for us. Our good friend and dedicated CEO Jackie Minor began a new chapter in her life. We wish her the best of luck and enjoyment in her retirement, and will forever be grateful for her friendship, contributions, and dedicated service of 30 years to our Y. The positive momentum and value added improvements continue into 2018. As we carry out our work in YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, HEALTHY LIVING, and SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY we celebrate our accomplishments in 2017 of a newly renovated Rec Pool, FREE land fitness class offerings, record participation numbers in aquatics, vibrant child care program, successful NDPP (National Diabetes Prevention Program), newly remodeled fitness center, and growth in Youth Sports. In October, YMCA Nationwide Membership was rolled out, an unprecedented value added service for our members. You may now enjoy free use of any participating Ys in your travels. As your CEO, I view each and every day here as an opportunity. This Y is a shining example that there are great people working together to strengthen our community. Each day I take enjoyment from seeing members of all ages and walks of life enjoy our facilities and programs. For that I am grateful. Whatever it may be that brings you to the Y, I hope you can share that same enjoyment in witnessing members of our community working together to become happier and healthier individuals and families, ultimately strengthening the ties of our community. Thank you, Chris Stenberg CEO Superior Douglas County YMCA

ANNUAL SUPPORT & SCHOLARSHIPS Every day, the Superior Douglas County Family YMCA gives our community the support it needs to learn, grow, and thrive. From childcare to aquatics, disease prevention to athletics, everything we do helps strengthen our neighborhood and the people who live here. Keeping Superior great is a full-time job. Every day, our community faces new challenges that create a greater need for the work we do. And we need your help to do it. Your gift can help Superior and everyone in it shine. The Annual Support Campaign is crucial to our YMCA. In 2016, we gave out over $85,000 in scholarships. The money raised & donated sent kids to camp, helped children learn to swim, gave adults with special needs or seniors on fixed incomes a place to become healthier while making new friends. Families get the opportunity to work toward better health in spirit, mind and body through YMCA memberships and programs. Every dollar raised goes right back into our community.
At the Y we have something special. We have a sense of community and believe everyone should have access to it, along with the programs and services that help us learn, grow and strive. If you would like to belong to the Y or participate in programs, but cannot afford the full cost you may apply for financial assistance. Financial aid applications are available online at superiorymca.org or at Northwest Community Services. Applications must be completed and returned to Northwest Community Services. Applications will be reviewed and you will be notified by mail. For further information contact Membership Coordinator Michelle Starry at
[email protected] or call 715-392-5611.

SWIMSWIM LESSON LESSONS OVERVIEW YOUTH SWIM LESSONS
ADULT SWIM LESSONS
Let our trained swim instructors teach your child how to swim! Our instructors follow standardized lesson plans developed by Y-USA to teach children to swim using a natural progression through easy-to -follow benchmark skills. Students ages three and up are taught swim basics without the use of wearable flotation aids. This approach teaches children to control their body in the water faster, while maintaining an awareness of their own limitations. While your children explore their swim abilities, they will be closely monitored by their swim instructor. Beginner levels have no more than four students per instructor, and you will always see at least one lifeguard on deck, vigilantly scanning your child’s swim lessons! In order to maintain our Instructor/Student ratios, missed lessons cannot be made up during another day or time.
These lessons are designed to improve your existing swim skills to help you meet your own personal goals in a small group setting, highlighting stroke mechanics, stroke proficiency, and endurance. 6:00pm on Wednesdays MEMBERS: $35 GENERAL PUBLIC: $70
