GROWING STRONGER
TOGETHER
YMCA OF THE CHESAPEAKE
January-April 2013
Mid-Shore Family YMCA • Lower Shore Family YMCA • Chincoteague Family YMCA
ceo’s update
Over the weekend I received a letter from a college student that worked at our YMCA a few
summers ago. Through her studies she has become very passionate about working in rural
communities in developing countries to create sustainable water treatment programs. As much
as we live our lives day to day taking fresh water for granted, many around the world aren’t so
fortunate. She’s in Northern Ghana right now doing this work and I’m so proud of her efforts.
There is no greater gift than the gift of helping others. It fuels the soul. That’s what I love so
much about the YMCA. It was founded on the principles of helping others nearly 170 years ago
and the work still carries on today. The YMCA is a place that brings people together, strengthens
families, fosters friendships, develops children, builds healthy lifestyles, turns no one away,
and tackles communities' needs. Simply put, the Y is not as much a place as it is a cause. Its cause driven organizations
were founded to make our communities stronger, one child, one person, one family at a time. Thank you for choosing to
join the Y and in turn join the cause to make our community a better place for everyone.
Robbie Gill
Chief Executive Officer YMCA of the Chesapeake The Y’s Mission
With Christian Principles as our foundation, our mission is to foster
opportunities for individuals, families, and community that strengthen
healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
The Y’s cause
At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, the Y works
side by side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone, regardless of
age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Swim, Sports & Play
SWIM BAND PROGRAM
Child safety in our pool is important to us at the Mid-Shore Family
YMCA. For this reason, we require anyone under the age of 18 to wear a
swim band indicating their swimming ability level. A green band is issued
upon successful completion of the swim test. A red band is issued to
those who are shallow-water competent. Children with a red band will be
permitted to swim/play in shallow water where they can readily regain
their footing. Any child under 48” that is issued a red band, must be
within an arm’s length of an actively attentive parent or adult caregiver
who is in the water with the child. Thank you for helping us keep your
child safe in our pool. Please see the lifeguard on duty or Aquatic
Director for details.
FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT Mid-Shore Family YMCA
SWIM LESSONS
Make a Splash! The Y is the nationwide leader in helping people of all
ages learn to be safe in the water. Each year, the Y teaches thousands
of children and adults to swim and certifies hundreds of lifeguards. From
swim lessons to birthday parties to swim team and water fitness, you’ll
find water fun at the Y!
PARENT & CHILD SWIM LESSONS
(ages 6 mos.-3 years)
These swim lessons offer a positive, playful environment to foster the
parent/child relationship through water exploration. Classes are taught
by enthusiastic, caring instructors who emphasize making you and your
child feel comfortable in the water.
The Y is proud to offer swimming programs for all members of your
family, for any age and ability level, from infants to seniors. Our friendly
and enthusiastic staff focuses on safety, stroke development, and
personal growth for each swim level. Programs are offered throughout
the week at convenient times for busy families. You will be sure to find
a class to accommodate your schedule.
WATER BABIES
(ages 6 mos.-2 years)
Water Babies is a water orientation course where moms or dads
are in the water with baby for a positive, parent-child experience
with acclimation to the water and learning water safety as well as
beginning skills through games and songs. Swim diapers such as “Little
Swimmers®” by Huggies must be worn under swim suit.
We help build a foundation for a lifelong appreciation for and interest
in aquatic activities and environments. The YMCA objectives also help
incorporate character development for use in everyday life. Strengths
such as caring, honesty, faith, responsibility, and respect are character
traits needed most in this world today.
SWIM LESSON ASSESMENTS
The YMCA learn to swim program is divided into three groups: Parent/
Child, Preschool, and Youth Swim Lessons. Swimmers will progress at
their own pace through the levels. It is not unusual to spend several
sessions in one level. If you are unsure of your child’s placement in our
swim lesson program or have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact
the Aquatic Director at 410-749-0101 ext. 19 or by email at

I received extremely nice letters from one of our great
YMCA family members.
After 11 years, today is Susannah’s final practice and meet as
a member of the MDY Marlins, and I wanted to let you all know
how much being a YMCA swim team member has meant to her
and us. She started on the team the summer after first grade
at the suggestion of her then swim teacher and now supervisor,
Kitty Cade. As she enters her senior year in high school, she is
torn by other obligations and interests, and she has decided that
she will give up being a member of the team. She did not make
this decision easily, especially since she barely remembers a time
when she was not part of the team.
We want you to know that being a MDY Marlin has paid off in so
many ways. Susannah, although not a star of the team, has had
the opportunity to compete against others and accomplish many
goals. On some teams she may have sat the bench, but at the ”Y”,
everyone swims. Thank you Marlins!
Susannah has worked hard and developed many skills. She is an
excellent swimmer which has allowed her to become a lifeguard
and swimming teacher. Thank you Marlins!
She has made life-long friendships and has been coached and
mentored by many amazing adults especially Scott McIntire and
Ellen Doxtater and their tremendous assistants over the years.
During eleven years they have cheered with us in good times and
supported us in the difficult ones: whenever we asked for help,
it was always graciously given. I cannot say enough about these
people and their dedication to our kids. I am in awe of what they
have done for so many families. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jerome Hochmuth & Beth Jones
Proud parents of Susannah Jones-Hochmuth
In the pool Susannah has learned about what it takes to be
an athlete and to challenge herself. Out of the pool she is an
excellent student, a leader, and a friend. She has developed an
appreciation for setting goals, working hard, and being persistent.
We see that her good habits have been supported by her time on
the team and, as parents, we well understand the value of that
support. Thank you Marlins.

It has been an honor to watch Susannah grow and mature into
an incredible young adult. Susannah currently gives back to
the YMCA community by coaching swim team and teaching
swimming lessons.

for
social
responsibilty
What an amazing testament to the personal strength and the
benefits of the YMCA. Demmie, 54 years old, is a long time
fitness advocate and member of the YMCA. Approximately five
years ago she cancelled her membership due to lack of time from
traveling for her job. Her workouts began to falter. She started
gaining weight, felt weak, achy and tense. Needless to say, she
really missed her fitness classes at the Y. Five years later, her
schedule allowed her to return to the Y. Demmie was feeling much
stronger a year and a half later when she was diagnosed with a
brain tumor that had been growing for approximately 20 years.
The tumor was removed and she spent five days in the hospital.
Next she spent two weeks with family who provided her with
round-the-clock care. Eventually, she had two weeks of physical
therapy. At her six-week post-surgery check-up, her surgeon told
her she could begin her workouts again, at her discretion. She
returned to fitness classes at the Y the following week. Demmie’s
26
surgeon informed her that she was an exception to most of his
patients, having a speedy and strong recovery. She attributes
this to her excellent post-surgery care and her great fitness level
prior to her surgery. These combined allowed her body to heal
at an accelerated rate of speed. It has now been almost three
months since the surgery. Demmie tells the Y staff, “I am well
on my way to a full recovery. My goal is to return to my most
difficult classes (Boot Camp) in the very near future”.
Demmie is grateful to the Y staff and other friends at the Y for
the encouragement, friendship and support they provided while
she was recovering. She notes that there is no reason any one
individual cannot take care of the mind and body, at any age.
Demmie is an incredible example of determination and strength
of Spirit, Mind and Body! Congratulations to you, Demmie and see
you in Boot Camp soon!

JESSICA GREENLY
“When you want to succeed at something, you have to put in the effort.”
Wanting to live a healthy lifestyle and exercise is something that just about everyone dreams of; Jessica Greenley makes it
a reality. She has lost 60 pounds since participating in the “I Left it at the Y” challenge. Jessica can be spotted at the YMCA
just about every day of the week.
“I have a hectic schedule, but I always find a way to work out every day no matter what the circumstance is. It is a great
feeling knowing that I am improving myself.” She typically can be found running for miles on a treadmill on the fitness floor.
Her success paid off; last April Jessica ran her first ever 10k at the Chincoteague YMCA Bay to Bay race.
“I look forward to beating my time next year!” This determination to succeed helps Jessica be a strong, healthy role model
for everyone.
FRANK LUCAS
“You can’t let anything hold you back.”
Getting yourself through the hard times without losing your
sunny disposition is no small task. Frank Lucas may have
been faced with personal health setbacks but he never gave
up hope on his happiness. A devoted Y member for almost
two years, Frank has overcome Upper and Lower Colon
Cancer, Quadruple Bypass, and numerous stints. Although
32
he is doing great now, his doctor needed him to lose 30
pounds in order to have another surgery.
Since then, he has lost 35 pounds! “Without the friendly
staff and great atmosphere, I might not have had the
motivation to lose the weight.” The Y makes it easy,
because it is crucial for people with health concerns to
be surrounded by supportive, encouraging people.
A secure feeling –
