The Sarasota Family YMCA partnered with Gulf Coast Community Foundation through donors Keith and Linda Monda to provide children free swim lessons at the Robert L. Taylor Community Complex and YMCA facilities. The Mondas’ donation gave these children the opportunity to learn life-saving swimming skills. Drowning prevention is one of our top priorities at the Sarasota YMCA. Floridahealth.gov states that “Florida loses more children under age five to drowning than any other state. Annually in Florida, enough children to fill three to four preschool classrooms drown and do not live to see their fifth birthday.” Last year, the Sarasota YMCA taught over 1,900 children swimming skills.
