Mission Moment: Grants help to double swim safety education participation

At the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, we believe that access to life-saving skills like water safety should never be out of reach. Thanks to several recent grants, we are expanding our ability to provide free swim safety education to individuals and families across our community, many of whom would not otherwise have access to these critical programs.
