I wanted to take a moment to reach out and let you know about 2 upcoming, family-friendly,events happening at the YMCA.
The first one is this Saturday, January 22 and is the annual Winter Festival at our Southwest Family YMCA branch – complete with a POLAR BEAR SWIM! We will offer unheated and heated pool version for those with different temperature tolerances.
In addition to the swims, there will be 10 tons of real snow, a 12-foot sled run, snowy play area, Games 2-U Mobile Game Theater and many FREE sampler classes for youth and adults.
Festival runs 2pm-6pm.
The second event is a wonderful, city-wide event, that the YMCA of Austin is hosting on Saturday January 29 – in partnership with Mayor Leffingwell and the Mayor’s Fitness Council. The event is called ‘Let’s Move Austin Day at the YMCA’ (info sheet attached) and all 7 Travis/Hays county area YMCA locations will be open from 10am-6pm with free classes, free programs, free healthy food and giveaways to everyone in the Austin community.
The YMCA of Austin would love to see West Austin Aquatics visit us at the Y for both events. Go Polar Bears!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or my colleague, Sean Doles. Sean can be reached at mailto:sean.doles@austinymca.org or 512-622-9622 ext.
