Emilson YMCA& Laura’s Center for the ArtsOn Wednesday, February 13th our Mill Pond branch

became the Emilson YMCA and Laura’s Center for

the Arts in honor of Herb and Paulie Emilson and their late daughter Laura Riekert.

New Aquatics Policy:

TEST * MARk * PROTECTAt the South Shore YMCA we are committed to keep-

ing all patrons as safe as possible while swimming. As

such we will be implementing a new protocol in our

Aquatics Department called Test * Mark * Protect. All

children under 14 will be given a swim Test. Based on

the swim test, or their age, individuals will be given a

colored bracelet to Mark what areas of the pool they

may use. Using this system will help us Protect the

children who use our pool.

Swim test results will be stored in our system and members will receive a colored

membership tag, to bring with them to the pool to receive their bracelet. This

will allow a convenient way to know each child’s color and swim ability each

time they arrive at our pool or the Y. Swim tests will not need to happen every

time you come to swim unless the individual or child wants to try for a higher

level or the swim ability has changed drastically.

For questions or more detailed information regarding this program,

please contact the Aquatics Department:

Experience: Novice to national level Locations: Emilson YMCA and Quincy Branches

Swimmers can expect to be in this group for a number of seasons. A comprehensive dry land program is introduced at this level.

Senior Squad – The Senior Squad in the SSYS program is the second highest level

training group available. The aim of this group is to qualify and be highly competitive

in New England Swimming YMCA, USA and MIAA Championships meets.

National Squad – This group represents the highest level of practice and coaching

available with the South Shore YMCA Strypers. The aim of this training group is to be

highly competitive at both the YMCA and USA National Championship level.

SOuTH SHORE YMCA LOCATIONS

germantown Neighborhood CenterSince 1982, the Germantown Neighborhood Center (GNC) has been providing critical support services, needed resources, programs

and workshops to the youth and families of the Germantown and neighboring communities of Quincy. Located within one of Quincy’s

largest public housing developments, the GNC serves a community of mostly low-income, single-parent households and works with

support and guidance from the South Shore YMCA to identify and develop strategies to address community needs.

Our youth programs give kids a safe environment where they can grow and learn positive values that they will carry with for a life-

time. Women’s programs are designed to get women out of the house and build relationships with other women who are in the same

situation. Childcare and dinner are often provided. Women are encouraged to bring the whole family while mom engages in skill-build-

ing workshops with other women. Our Family Lifelong Learning programs encourage literacy and educational achievement through

our GED programs, or Teen Mentoring programs. Our food pantry serves residents all over the City of Quincy with food assistance.

The Holiday Assistance program lifts a burden off the shoulders of many families during a time that is even more difficult financially.

We are constantly trying to raise more money, add more programs, and do all that we can to help. Our programs and services work

toward giving community members the skills, confidence, and resources to take action and improve their lives.

“For my husband the Y has been a life-changing experience. Unemployment can be hard

on a family, especially if you are actively looking for work. The Y has been a stress reliever

for my husband and our entire family.”

You may know of people in our community whose experiences are similar. Having an impact like this is one reason

that the South Shore YMCA is investing in a new facility in Quincy. The new Y will provide an expanded Early Learning

Center where working families can have peace of mind that their children are safe and thriving, a health & well-being

center for all ages, teen programming, and vibrant spaces where families can participate together in healthy activities.

The Y’s collaborations with other health care providers will make this facility a focal point for community well-being.

Construction has begun, and we expect to complete the new facility by August of 2013. Follow the progress on our

website and learn how you can help the Y lead the way in youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

Our Capital Campaign Community Phase is underway and provides opportunities for naming places within the building

and outside on the grounds. If you wish to make a donation, contact Bruce Haas at 617-479-8500, ext. 249 or
