Marysville Family YMCA and Kendall Subaru of Marysville Expand 3rd Grade Splash Program

Posted on June 3, 2025 Updated on June 4, 2025 by Abbey McGee

MARYSVILLE, WA. June 3, 2025 – The Marysville Family YMCA, in partnership with Kendall Subaru of Marysville, proudly announces the continued growth of its 3rd Grade Splash Program—now in its second year and expanding its reach across the Marysville and Tulalip communities.

Launched in 2024 with Kendall Subaru as the flagship donor, the program was made possible through a $20,000 sponsorship, which was continued in 2025 with a shared vision to equip local youth with life-saving water safety skills. In its first year, nearly 150 students from Allen Creek Elementary participated. This year, the program has scaled to include additional elementary schools and new community partners.

“This isn’t just about swimming—it’s about equity, confidence, and safety,” said JJ Frank, Executive Director of the Marysville Family YMCA. “Kendall Subaru of Marysville made this possible. Their commitment to our kids and our community is what turned this idea into a movement.”

The 3rd Grade Splash Program delivers free swim lessons and water safety education to third graders in the Marysville School District and the Tulalip Tribes community. With the YMCA’s trained aquatics team and a growing group of volunteers, children gain vital skills that reduce water-related risks and open doors to lifelong confidence and recreation.

In addition to Kendall Subaru’s leadership, the program has gained momentum with the support of new sponsors, further expanding its reach and impact.

“This is what community looks like,” added Frank. “When local businesses and neighbors come together, we create real change—safer summers, stronger kids, and a future where every child has access to the tools they need to thrive.”

Marysville Y and Kendall Auto Partner to Launch 3rd Grade Splash Program

Posted on June 27, 2024 by Abbey McGee

MARYSVILLE, WA. June 27, 2024 – The Marysville Family YMCA, in partnership with Kendall Auto, is thrilled to announce the successful launch of its first-ever 3rd Grade Splash program. This valuable initiative aims to provide essential water safety skills and swimming lessons to 3rd graders in the Marysville School District.

The program kicked off in May, thanks to a generous $20,000 donation from Kendall Auto, enabling nearly 100 students from Allen Creek Elementary School to participate. The program will resume in Fall 2024. The goal is to grow the 3^rd Grade Splash program so all students in the Marysville School District have access.

Marysville Family YMCA Executive Director JJ Frank expressed his gratitude, highlighting the crucial role of community support in such initiatives. “We are immensely grateful to Kendall Auto for their flagship donation,” said Frank. “This program is a testament to what we can achieve when we work together to invest in our children’s safety and well-being.”

The 3rd Grade Splash 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. Lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water surround the Marysville area, creating a need for local children to be well-equipped to navigate water safely, especially with summer on the horizon.

The 3^rd Grade Splash program is supported by aquatics staff and volunteers. “We appreciate our YMCA staff and volunteers who make a difference in the lives of people every day,” said Frank. “Their dedication and hard work are the heart of this program.”

Through this initiative, the Marysville Family YMCA and Kendall Auto are not only teaching vital water safety skills but also fostering a culture of confidence and enjoyment in water-related activities among the youth. “By pooling resources and expertise, we are creating a safer community,” said Frank. “Our combined efforts are reducing water-related risks, ensuring that every child can confidently and safely enjoy the summer season.”
