Our Y has a long history of providing quality services to the members of our community with special needs, and that commitment remains strong. In an effort to continuously improve our services, we are restructuring our Special Needs program offerings, which will be led by our Aquatics Director, Jaclyn Wyzykowski. Jaclyn has 22 years of experience in aquatics instruction, with students of all ages and abilities, and is a former Special Education teacher.
We are proud to offer adaptive swim lessons led by our highly trained and compassionate staff. Our instructors are equipped to teach individuals with disabilities, confidently guiding swimmers of all abilities toward swim success. Our program is designed to support swimmers with ADHD, Autism, Down Syndrome, or any type of emotional, physical, or sensory challenge. Please email our Aquatics Director, Jaclyn Wyzykowski, at jwyzykowski@ocymca.org for more information on how to register for the program.
Driven by its founding mission, the Y has served as a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community for more than 175 years. The Y empowers everyone, no matter who they are or where they’re from, by ensuring access to resources, relationships, and opportunities for all to learn, grow and thrive. By bringing together people from different backgrounds, perspectives and generations, the Y’s goal is to improve overall health and well-being, ignite youth empowerment and demonstrate the importance of connections in and across 10,000 communities nationwide.
