The YMCA is my favourite place, and the Calgary Flames Grade 6 program means a lot to me. I always feel comfortable here, just like when I’m at home.

Teaching Aquatic Fitness is more than fitness; it’s about lifting spirits, creating connections and watching people discover their own power.

Thanks to the YMCA’s subsidy program, I was able to afford a membership. Stepping into the pool again was the beginning of my healing journey.
