Get Ready for Summer with Free Swimming Events
Summer is just around the corner and summer means swimming. In preparation of summer and swimming season get your feet wet at these free swimming events.
The Big Swim
April 12, 2008
The Big Swim is a one-of-a-kind open swim meet where 1,000 New York City children ages 6-16 participate in a free day of competitive swim races. Each child experiences the excitement of a real race with starting blocks, officials, and a timed finish. Races are all supervised by lifeguards and swimming Asphalt Green aquatics staff. This event has been recommended to me by other parents who said that your child does not need to be an very strong swimmer to have a great time. The environment is not competitive and each child goes home a winner with a medal, a photo with Olympians, a t-shirt, and a goody bag.
The Big Swim takes place on April 12, 2008, but registration forms must be received by March 30th. For more information on the meet, call 800.NYC.SWIM (800.692.7946) or go to the website to register online.

YMCA Splash Week
April 21-25, 2008
The YMCA of Greater New York is hosting a week of free swimming lesson during their Splash Week to promote water safety for kids and families. During Splash Week local YMCA branches will be offering free half-hour swimming lessons to anyone aged 3 and up. Yes, there will even be free adult swimming classes as well as lifeguarding classes for anyone who's dreaming of getting a job as a lifeguard this summer. You won't find any information about Splash Week online. You must visit or call your local YMCA branch to find out the schedule of classes, but if you don't know where the nearest YMCA branch is you can find it at the YMCA website. Participating branches can be found in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island.

We are a homeless family
We are a homeless family shelter and are preparing the summer schedule of activities for children ages 6-17, a group of about 25-30 children, during the months of july and august.
Anyone with suggestions, please feel free to e-mail me or call me at 718-378-3334.
I can offer you a 2 hour
I can offer you a 2 hour kiddie karaoke party for the children with food, unlimited drinks and juices, DJ/Karaoke and use of my lounge for a non-profit rate of $20 per child based on 30 children attending. We have had the YMCA over to have events with over 60 children in attendance, if you have a larger number of children attending we could offer you a 3 hour party instead for the same rate.
We are located on the upper east side of Manhattan and have had great success with our afterschool, daycamp and kiddie karaoke birthday parties. Parties are normally $35 a child but I can offer you this rate of $20 per child for your special daycamp activity. You can contact me at koshea724@aol.com or call 646-724-5632 for reservations.
Take care
