It’s Fun To Play at the YMCA

I’ve never belonged to a YMCA before, but this year I was moved to join because it was the only organization that offered affordable swim lessons for the boys at a time that accommodated our schedule.  You can buy a full membership or a cheaper membership that allows you to enroll in various programs, aptly named a “program membership,” which is what we bought for each kid.  Now that summer is over and after-school activities are all the rage, I’ve dipped a tentative toe in the busy pond by enrolling Kid 1 in a weekly fitness class for kids called Children F.I.R.S.T.  It’s an hour-long session of learning about their bodies, doing fun exercises, and games that help build self esteem.  Soccer or martial arts can wait until next year.
