As the YMCA of Greater Seattle celebrates 150 years of strengthening our community, we’re proud to recognize the dedicated people who make our mission come to life every day.
Meet Sarah Santos, our Aquatics Lead and Swim Instructor. 🏊👏
Sarah has been part of the Y for six years, creating meaningful connections and helping make the pool a place where kids feel confident, supported, and excited to learn. What she loves most about being part of the YMCA is working alongside coworkers who lift her spirits and inspire her every day.
Through her role in Aquatics, Sarah helps children develop an important life skill: learning how to swim. She finds joy in watching their confidence grow, celebrating their accomplishments, and seeing the excitement on their faces as they learn and make progress in the water.
From teaching the next generation of swimmers to supporting her team, Sarah brings dedication, encouragement, and heart to the YMCA community. Her commitment helps ensure that every child has the opportunity to feel safe, capable, and successful in the pool.
Thank you Sarah! 🎉
