YMCA Membership Worthwhile for Catherine Sergautis

YMCA or Young Men's Christian Association is a worlwide organization which reaches upwards of 60 million people. YMCAs were started in London in the 1840s and have been in operation around the world ever since. YMCAs have become areas for the community to meet and also for the community to get fit and healthy. Many of the larger YMCAs in bigger cities and towns will often put on a variety of events for familes, kids, and adults.

Catherine Sergautis has been a member at her local London YMCA (on Siunningdale Road) for many years. Two years ago she had her daughter, Katelyn Maillet. Needing to get back in shape from the pregnancy and all of the extra work required with having a newborn, Catherine Sergautis started going to the YMCA more often.

It only took about three months before Catherine Sergautis realized she had a great opportunity for her daughter at the YMCA. There, Katelyn learned how to swim from an early age - only three months old! Catherine Sergautis is very happy she made the decision to bring her daughter at such an early age. She loves being in the water now that she is 2. Most kids are terrified of the water and only learn swimming skills much later in their life.

Another reason that Catherine Sergautis is glad she started bringing her daughter Katelyn to the local YMCA is because of the all of the social interaction she gets. Katelyn has been able to play with play groups in the gym. She gets to play with kids her age in a safe environment while Catherine Sergautis can do other things like exercise and work out.

In the future, Catherine Sergautis hopes that Katelyn continues to enjoy swimming at the YMCA. Swimming would be a great sport for her daughter to get more involved in. Right now it's all about fun and exercise, but it could turn into a sport that takes her far in life!
