Free swimming & more @ YMCA of Coastal Georgia Healthy Kids Day in Savannah, Pooler, Tybee, Islands, Richmond Hill, Effingham Co.
YMCA of Coastal Georgia pools open on Healthy Kids Day, May 7 2022
Healthy Kids Day at all of YMCA of Coastal Georgia branches takes place on Sat. May 7 2022. This event is free & open to the public.
YMCA branch pools open that weekend for the summer season.
In conjunction with Healthy Kids Day, YMCA of Coastal Georgia is partnering with Totes to Tots for a backpack/suitcase drive at all the Chatham County branches (Habersham, West Chatham, Tybee, Islands) plus the Richmond Hill and Effingham branches. Totes to tots collects age-appropriate backpacks and small luggage for children in foster care so that they don’t have to carry their things in plastic shopping or garbage bags, as they unfortunately often have to do.
There will be a collection site at each of the above branches from April through Healthy Kids Day. The Totes to Tots team will be at the Habersham branch for May 7’s Healthy Kids Day celebration with a tent and larger-scale collection site set up. All donations will stay in the area and go to local children in need.
Contact your local branch for information on what other activities are planned for Healthy Kids Day!
YMCA of the USA is hosting a sweepstakes to celebrate 30 years of Healthy Kids Day. Three winners will receive a one-year family membership. Click here for details.
