Free Water Safety Classes This Week at the Bed-Stuy YMCA

BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — The Bed-Stuy YMCA is offering free water safety classes this week for adults, teens and kids who don't know how to swim.

Students will have a chance to get into the YMCA's pool, where they'll be taught techniques for how to stay afloat and get out of danger in a body of water.

(Those interested in taking the next step can also sign up for swim classes at the YMCA.)

The water safety classes are offered primarily in the afternoons and evenings from April 25 through April 30, and are separated by age group. You can see a complete schedule of classes here.

Guests can register for the program in person at the YMCA, located at 1121 Bedford Ave.

Questions can be directed to Anderson Seales, the YMCA's Aquatics Director, by calling 212-912-2283.
