Did you know that the Uniontown Area YMCA offers many evidence-based programs to help people prevent themselves from suffering from a devastating fall?
National Falls Prevention Awareness Day is September 23: Falls Prevention Awareness Day is a day of action that encourages the public to learn their risk and access programs that can help reduce the risk for falls.
Our programs for falls prevention include: Enhance Fitness, Moving for Better Balance, and Tai Chi for Arthritis and Falls Prevention. They all teach balance, strength, and awareness.
To learn more, go to our website www.uniontownymca.org and click on individual programs under the "Healthy Living" tab to read about these awesome prevention programs. Call us to sign up to participate!

This program is designed to introduce the sport of competitive swimming as well as to challenge those who have already participated in competitive swimming. The focus of this program is to build on fundamentals, endurance, and fitness and to challenge the swimmer against their current abilities with an emphasis on setting personal goals and achieving those goals. Completing Swim Strokes 4 (Formerly Starfish/Minnow levels) are encouraged to participate, but continued swim lessons through Swim Strokes 5-6 (Formerly Flying Fish) are encouraged. Swim team participants receive 50% off of the member rate for group swim lessons.
The fall program runs from the beginning of September through the end of October each year. The winter program runs from the beginning of November through the end of March, and the Summer Program runs from the end of April through the end of July. The cost is $50 per month which includes the team fee and the YMCA fee. Team swimmers must be members of the YMCA.
Test the Waters: For New Swim Team Members:
This program shows swimmers what it is like to be a member of the Dolphin Swim team.
