Family Events

The Y offers a multitude of family events so families can share an experience and strengthen their bonds to each other. Our events help each family member develop and discover new skills or interests, connect to their community in meaningful and positive ways, or improve their health and well-being through fun and engaging activities.

Fun events like our Floating Pumpkin Patch or Visiting with Santa are some of our holiday themed events.

Laps that Matter

Branch: Ventura

Dates: 11/8/26 - 11/8/26

VIEW

Make a splash for a great cause! Join us for Laps That Matter, a fun community swim-a-thon where every lap supports the YMCA’s Annual Campaign and the programs that help strengthen our community.

Swim as many or as few laps as you’d like, challenge friends and family, and enjoy a free post-swim treat and certificate of achievement just for participating! Pledges from family and friends are encouraged to be contributed per lap. The most important thing is jumping in (feet first) and having fun.

Every lap counts. Every swimmer matters. Every splash makes a difference. 🌊
