About the provider

The Hampshire Regional YMCA has provided wellness and family services to the community since 1880. Its mission is to strengthen the community by fostering healthy living, the development of young people, social connection and responsibility, in a welcoming environment for all. All YMCA swim instructors are trained in the nationally recognized swim lesson curriculum, and the pools have a certified lifeguard on duty.

The Y is open to all. It welcomes individuals with diverse abilities and asks to contact Julie Bianco at [email protected] if reasonable accommodations or modifications are needed.
