  Speaker 3: We're really excited because in a lot of our adult programs,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: we're providing recorded stats from each game, verified refs. We're

  Speaker 3: going to have team jerseys. I know they had like
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: MVP and on an award ceremony for our last tournament
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: and our last league. So it's definitely a push for

  Speaker 3: these adults who really want to play basketball and find
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the place for out.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Sure, absolutely, and this is the opportunity to do just that. Again,

  Speaker 1: it's adult basketball, it's the YMCA Classic that's going to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: be held at the end end of Lactoget. All of
• 9:00

  Speaker 1: Right, obviously they have the great facilities there that can
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: handle all of these. Again, teams and again all of
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: these pairings. But if you are an individual and you
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: don't have a team put together that would like to
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: play in this, Ellie just mentioned that even individuals can
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: get a board and you'll be put on a team
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: created again for this classic coming up at the end

• 10:00
  Speaker 3: For members it's twenty seven dollars. For non members it's
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: forty seven dollars. I think for knowing the safety of
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: in the water and teaching your children the skills, it's
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: a great price, it's a great opportunity. Our swim instructors
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: are amazing, so we're definitely excited and hoping we can
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: get a lot of kids out there.

• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, get inside ow nice heated facilities at the

  Speaker 1: Sterling Rock Falls Family YMC great pool facilities that they
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: have over again at YMCA Way and again this will

  Speaker 1: start early part. And I'm assuming that you know with
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the various levels, various ages there different times.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yep, different times, so I think they go from five
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: to probably seven and their half hour time blocks throughout
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: the day.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, So again just check in with the YMCA on

  Speaker 1: This is from kids through adults yep.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: So we have private adult lessons as well. If adults
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: maybe a refresher or they're not as comfortable in the water.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: We always have private group lessons, I do know. Our
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: non private group lessons are so fun, especially for the
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: kids because they can swim together. You have siblings who
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: can swim together. And our instructors love seeing all.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: The kids in the pool. They splash, they have fun.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: It makes it a really fun place to be.
