To access the pool, all members must enter through the YMCA main lobby door and scan in with their YMCA member card. All instructions from our staff should be followed at all times. It is recommended you bring your own towel as none will be provided and drinking water as public drinking fountains will not be available.
The pool has 2 sides: a lap side (larger pool) and a family side (smaller pool with stairs). The posted schedule will state a side for an activity. If no side is stated then that side is available for Free Swim.
When a name appears in a space, this is the leader at that time. If no name appears, the pool is open and staffed but no leader for the designated activities.
