On December 18th, SOCIL and the Family YMCA of Lancaster and Fairfield County hosted our first-ever Fin-Static 4 Water Aerobics SplashMax to celebrate both the final day of the session and Christmas! 🎄💦

We enjoyed a fun-filled day of swimming, crafts, pizza, and coloring, making it a great way to wrap up the session. We also had a very special guest stop by to visit with everyone. Can you guess who it was?

🎅 Yes—it was Santa Claus!
Santa took time out of his busy schedule to talk with everyone and make sure we were all being good this year. While most of us passed the test… Coach Jeff may be on the naughty list this year 😄 — but he promised Santa he’ll do better next year!

It was a wonderful day full of smiles, laughter, and holiday cheer. Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration so special!

For more information on future water aerobics or other health initiative programs SOCIL offers contact Jeff Williams at 740-689-1494 ext 205.
