Do you have a LEGO fanatic in your home? Join Bricks 4
Kidz as we host two winter building workshops. Bricks 4
Kids is an enrichment program that teaches children

introduced to new concepts and then build models using
bricks, gears, axles, motors, and more to illustrate the
concept. Each workshop includes a custom mini figure
that the kids will create, use during the camp, and then
take home! Each camp will be unique, with all new
models and lessons each time. Your kids have never had
so much fun learning.
*Please note, our supplies are reused from class to class.

AQUATICS PROGRAM
Head Coach: [email protected]
Lakota Family YMCA is able to offer a Year-Around swim
team for the more competitive swimmers; as well as a
traditional Recreational Summer swim team Program for
our more summer only swimming participants.
In the two years as Head Coach, Shaun Harlan and his
assistant coaches have helped the team make huge
strides. In 2013, we offered our first Year-Around
Stingray program by competing in the Long Course
Championships for the Southwest Ohio YMCA Swim
League. In 2014, we continued our success with the
Year Around program by improving our position by 3
spots and placing in the top 3 in 5 of our 8 meets last
season. In the Summer Tri-County Stingrays Swim
Program we finished 5th at the Tri-County Swim League
Championships!
LAKOTA STINGRAYS SUMMER SWIM
TEAM
Registration will begin sometime in April 2015. Please look
for more information to come in March 2015.
Visit the Lakota YMCA Stingray Website to see previous year
summer swimming.
YEAR-AROUND SWIM TEAM
Our Year-Around swim program is truly a family activity.
For ages 6-18, we develop many qualities through
competitive swimming such as physical conditioning, self
-confidence, sportsmanship and character building with
good ethical standards and academic achievements! We
help the swimmers learn about responsibility, dedication
and commitment.
Our winter season runs September through early April
ending with YMCA National Championship. In the
summer, we have two separate teams: Tri-County
Stingray team and Long Course Stingray team. These
teams run simultaneously starting at the end of April and
running through July.

membership card and photo ID upon the first visit
and complete a visiting member waiver or
standard membership application form with
liability waiver.

YMCA full facility/full privilege members must use
their home branch at least 50% of the time.

The Y movement is for youth development, healthy
living and social responsibility. We want to encourage
members to utilize the Y as often as they
can. Sometimes, it’s more convenient for members to
utilize a Y in a different location when traveling, near
a workplace or in another region. Now, full facility/full
privilege YMCA members have the flexibility to use
other Y facilities throughout Ohio, at no extra charge.
LAKOTA YMCA RESTRICTIONS
HOW IT WORKS

On your first visit to the Lakota Family YMCA, come
to the Welcome Center with your membership card
and photo ID to complete a visiting member waiver
form.

Visiting youth members (under age 10) must be
accompanied by an adult member (age 16 or older).

Visiting members are welcome to use our facility;
however, they may not bring non-member guests.

Child Watch is limited to 2 hours per day and we
require members to stay on the premises.

Those using our swimming pools with children ages
0-5 will need to be in the water with them within
arm’s length at all times. Children ages 6-12 will
receive a color-coded wrist band and must stay in
shallow-water areas unless they are 45 inches tall
and pass the deep-water swim test. The swim test
will be given at the discretion of the Aquatics
Director.
Simply present your active YMCA membership card
and photo ID at any participating Ohio YMCA and
enjoy free access. See important Program Details
below.
So get out, explore Ohio and stay connected to
