FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 WE KNOW THAT DROWNING IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR INFANTS AND TODDLERS AGES ONE THROUGH FOUR. IN RESPONSE, THROUGH FUNDING PROVIDED BY THE RUTH AND J.O. STONE FOUNDATION AND CAYLA'S COATS, WE EXPANDED THE FLOAT PROGRAM TO ALL OF OUR BRANCHES IN 2023. THIS 1-TO-1 INFANT AND TODDLER SURVIVAL SWIM PROGRAM TEACHES CHILDREN AGES 1-4 FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS THAT WILL PROVIDE PRECIOUS TIME TO PREVENT DROWNING. IN 8-12 SHORT CLASSES, A CHILD GROWS THEIR WATER SAFETY SKILLS AND AWARENESS OF THE WATER. THE FLOAT PROGRAM IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR SUPERVISION OR FORMAL SWIM LESSONS. THE PROGRAM IS AGE-APPROPRIATE FOR WATER SAFETY, AND WE CONTINUE TO GROW THE PROGRAM IN 2024. THE YMCA RECEIVED FUNDING FROM THE JUVENILE WELFARE BOARD OF PINELLAS COUNTY TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ON THE PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT.

WE BEGAN ACTIVELY ENGAGING ACTIVE OLDER ADULTS IN MEANINGFUL, PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES WITH OTHERS THAT CAN SERVE AS A LIFELINE. THESE INTERACTIONS NOT ONLY EXTEND LIFE BUT ALSO ENHANCE ITS QUALITY. THEY BOOST MOOD, INSTILL A SENSE OF PURPOSE, AND HELP MAINTAIN WELL-BEING. MOREOVER, THEY MAY EVEN IMPROVE COGNITIVE FUNCTION, AS STUDIES HAVE SHOWN. THUS, IN THE FACE OF ISOLATION, CONNECTION EMERGES AS THE POTENT ANTIDOTE.
