Welcome
Dear YMCA Friend,
Glenn Juchno
Executive Director
Welcome to the Tri-Community YMCA where we are about youth development,
healthy living and social responsibility. The YMCA staff team has been serving
the greater Tri-Community area and Northeast Connecticut since 1882.
Our programs and services have helped countless individuals and families to
achieve their goals and be a part of a diverse community. The YMCA and its
supporters have worked tirelessly to keep our dynamic program and
membership offerings accessible and affordable to all. As an integral part of
our community, we strive for excellence in our services. Please take the
opportunity to tour our impressive facilities and meet our awesome staff!
Glenn R. Juchno
Executive Director
to the Tri-Community YMCA
■ Hiring Requirements
We have a comprehensive preemployment screening procedure
that includes:
■ YMCA job application
■ Minimum of 3 checked references
■ Personal interview with YMCA
supervisor
■ CORI/SORI checks
■ Minimum age is 16
■ Staff Certifications
All staff are required to have current CPR, First Aid and AED certification
■ Specialty staff (i.e. lifeguards)
maintain certifications specific to
their program area
■
■ Staff Training
All staff are required to successfully
complete a program-specific orientation focusing on discipline, supervision, policies, procedures, YMCA
Staff Code of Conduct and child
abuse prevention.
■ YMCA Staff Policies
In order to protect YMCA staff,
volunteers and program participants, the YMCA recommends that at
no time during a YMCA program may
a staff person be alone with a single
child where they cannot be observed
■
by others.
■ Staff shall never leave a child
unsupervised.
■ Staff must use positive techniques
of guidance, including redirection,
positive reinforcement and encouragement rather than competition,
comparison and criticism. Staff will
have age-appropriate expectations
and set up guidelines and environments that minimize the need for
discipline.
Staff respond to children with
respect and consideration and treat
all children equally, regardless of
sex, race, religion or culture.
■
■ Staff will serve as positive role
models for youth by performing
duties with respect, loyalty, patience,
courtesy, tact and maturity.
■ Staff may not be alone with children they meet in YMCA programs
outside of the YMCA. This includes
babysitting, sleepovers and inviting
children to your home. Any exceptions require a written explanation
before the fact and are subject to
administrator approval.
■ Staff are not to transport children
in their own vehicles. Any exceptions
require supervisor approval.
■ Staff communicate frequently with
parents regarding day-to-day activities and encourage parents to report
or question any behavior or event
their child may share that appears
out of the ordinary.
■ Parents can visit, unannounced, any
program their child participates in.
■ All YMCA Staff are mandated
reporters of child abuse and neglect.
■ Teen Facility Use
■ On all days, except Tuesdays,
teens under 16 who are in the building without a parent/legal guardian
will be asked to leave the YMCA by
7:00 p.m. Teens who are in the building with a parent/legal guardian will
have no restrictions on the times they
are allowed to be in the building.
Teens who are enrolled in a YMCA
program will be allowed to stay in the
YMCA until the program is over. All
gym and pool schedules will be as
posted.
■ Youth Membership

included in camper fee. Senior campers must qualify for field trips.
Qualifying includes demonstrating good campership.

from the Y and return it to Jim Flynn no later than June 18th. This

Water Exercise
Classes
Our water exercise
programs are perfect
for anyone looking
for a low-impact
workout. Because we
emphasize flexibility,
relaxation and muscle
strength, they are
ideal for those with
back injuries or joint
weakness. Great for
pregnant women too!
(Get your doctor’s okay
first.) You do not have to
be a swimmer to participate. We use aqua jogger
belts in the deep end,
weights, noodles, bar
bells, kick boards, resistance bands and the
water’s resistance for a
good workout. You do not
need to sign up for any
water exercise classes if you
are a member. If
you are brand new to our water exercise class, we would
ask you to fill out a health screening form so we are
better able to serve you.

Youth Swim Classes
■ Youth Swim Classes
Ages 6 and up
$44/Member; $98/Other
Our year round progressive swimming
classes were developed by the
National YMCA Aquatic Program. We
teach the fundamentals of swimming
and challenge each swimmer to move
through the levels at his/her own
pace. It is not unusual for a child to
repeat a level multiple times. We
need a minimum of four students to
run a class. If we have to cancel a
class you will be offered an alternative class, credit, or a refund.
Here are some guidelines to help you
place your children into the appropriate swimming level:
• Polliwog: Beginner level. No
swimming skills are necessary. Same
as Pike/Eel for ages 6+.
• Guppy I: Already puts their face in
the water; floats; knows elementary
backstroke and breaststroke arms;
will learn front crawl arms, backstroke, and sidestroke. Can
swim/jump into the deep end without
assistance. Same as Ray/Starfish
ages 6+.
• Guppy II: Is already not afraid of
the water; can front/back float, and
tread water, without assistance. Can
swim the length (75 feet) half on
front, half on back; can swim all the
Guppy I strokes independently for 50
feet.
• Minnow: Already can dive in the
deep end without assistance and
recover. Should be able to swim front
crawl 75 feet at least half with timed
rotary breathing, as well as breaststroke, elementary backstroke, and
backstroke. Sidestroke requires only
45 feet.
• Fish: Can already float on their
front for 3 minutes; tread water for
1.5 minutes; swim front crawl nonstop with perfect timing 50 yards; all
other strokes 25 yards. Should
already know the whip kick for
breaststroke and elementary backstroke, and the scissor kick for sidestroke. Strokes are beginning to be
redefined at this level; Minnows
develop skills and learn kicks that
Fish need to build off of.
• Flying Fish: Can tread water with
the three proper kicks; swim 75 yards
front crawl with open turns; all
strokes for 50 yards coordinated
(front crawl/backstroke body roll, and
breaststroke/sidestroke/
elementary backstroke glides. Knows
butterfly (dolphin) kick.
• Shark: Can swim all strokes 100
yards; sidestroke alternating sides;
flip turns; basic butterfly.

■ High School & Adult
Swimming Lessons
SWIM TEAM
(May join either Torpedoes
or Torpedoes-in-Training.
Contact Molly for details.)
■ Torpedoes-inTraining
Ages 6 and up.
Tu & Thurs 4:30-5:30 p.m.
This is for children who
think they might like to
swim on the swim team
someday. We will work on
endurance, stroke improvement and team work. Swim
meets are available. Prereq:
25 yards front crawl with
rotary breathing. 2 week free
trial period. Members only
■ Torpedoes
Ages 8-18.
Swim Team offers speed
training, endurance and
competitions. The team
competes all over New
England. Newcomers must
swim 2 laps of crawl with
rotary breathing. See Molly
for practice times and
prices.
■ Masters
Swim Team
Masters Swim Team is for
people 19 years of age and
above who would like to
train in the pool. We have
set up practices; we go to
swim meets (optional). There
will be a coach available to
work on strokes at practice.
Our meet season is from
September to April.
Coach on deck Monday &
Wednesday.
Any questions, contact Molly.
18
■ Open Lap Swimming Time
Please check the pool schedule at the
front desk. Lap swimmers must be 13
years of age or older. Circle swimming
will be utilized at all times during lap
swim. This is so we can accommodate
more lap swimmers and keep all swimmers safe. Circle swimming does not
limit your strokes or speed (or lack of
speed). Look for swimmers of equal ability in the pool and join their lane. Circle
swimming is to swim down on the right
side and swim back on the right side.
Just remember to stay right. If there are
two people, you may swim side by side,
but remember if more people come in,
you may have to circle. At the times
when there is only lap swim in the pool,
we will have two lanes set aside for
leisure lap. Leisure lap is for those who
can’t swim in the deep end, need help, or
are walking. Please check at the front
desk for the current lap swim schedule,
as it does change.
This is for high school students and
adults who want to learn how to swim
or just to improve their skills. It is
never too late to learn to swim. Even if
you are afraid of the water, we have
instructors who will help you overcome
your fears and perfect your strokes.
Mondays 5:00 p.m. Fridays 11:00 am
$43/Member; $98/Other
40-minute lessons
■ Family Swims
Family swims are open to members
and will be offered every day of the
week during the 8 week sessions
(There will be a schedule posted of
the times). Family swims are generally
shared with another activity, i.e. lap
swim or water exercise. Children
under the age of 6 MUST have a
parent in the water with them and be
within arms reach of each other. If
your child cannot stand in the shallow
end with their head above water, they
will be required to wear a red wristband and a life jacket.
Children age 6 and older do not
have to have a parent in the water
with them; however, the parent
must remain in the building.
