About the provider

The YMCA of Central Texas began during the 1970s. A United Way Youth Contingency Fund was created in 1976, and in 1987 the Texas Baptist Children’s Home donated building space on Mays Street in Round Rock for a child care center and aerobics. The Y adopted a metropolitan structure in 1994, the Hill Country Family YMCA in Cedar Park opened in 1997, and programs expanded to Taylor in 1998. The YMCA of Central Texas says it is committed to a diverse and inclusive environment where all are welcome and have access to Y programs and services.

The YMCA conducts regular sex offender screenings on all members, participants, and guests. If a sex offender match occurs, the YMCA reserves the right to cancel membership, end program participation, and remove visitation access. For swim lessons, make-up lessons are not offered and refunds are not offered due to inclement weather. A swim test wristband is required for any child 12 and under to swim in the pool without a parent within arm’s reach.
