Did you know that May is National Water Safety Month? The YMCA of Central Kentucky is inviting our community to become Water Watchers — aka adults that take the pledge to actively watch children in or near a body of water, avoid distractions, and help in an emergency.

As a Water Watcher, Lexingtonians can help the Y make this the safest summer ever. Join the Water Watchers and explore the Y’s aquatics programs. Take the pledge.*
