Annual YMCA “Dive for Gold” Party Celebrates St. Patrick’s Day

Kids are invited to collect “leprechaun gold” tokens in the indoor pool at North Suburban YMCA on Saturday, March 16th from 2:30-4:30 p.m. The pool will be tinted a festive green in honor of the St. Patrick’s Day holiday. The tokens can be exchanged for goody bags.

“This is our ninth annual Dive for Gold party,” notes Missy Contri, NSYMCA Director of Aquatics. “It’s a tradition our families really enjoy and a fun way to keep kids active indoors.”

The swim party runs from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Y, 2705 Techny Road in Northbrook. Admission is free for NSYMCA members. Non-member admission is $10 per person with a maximum fee of $20 per family. Parents need to swim with children younger than six, and to stay in the pool area to supervise older children.
