Diving into Safety: Kendall Auto Washington sponsors the Marysville Family YMCA’s Splash 3rd Grade Swim Program

In 2024, Kendall Auto Washington worked with the Marysville Family YMCA to launch its first ever Splash 3rd Grade Swim Program, providing nearly 150 kids within the Marysville School District with free swim lessons. The YMCA has a goal to help all 3rd graders within our community receive access to swim lessons and this program is not only a response to the immediate need for water safety education, but also a long-term investment in the community’s future. Multiple bodies of water surround the greater Marysville and Tulalip area, creating a need for local children to be well-equipped to navigate water safely, especially with summer on the horizon.

Kendall Auto Washington is proud to once again be the Flagship Sponsor of the Splash 3rd Grade Swim Program. In 2025, the program has grown to include more schools, helping more 3^rd grade students within the Marysville School District receive free swim lessons and better equip themselves with water safety skills.

Kendall Auto Washington is honored to work with the Marysville Family YMCA on this initiative and is excited to continue to grow the program in the years to come.
