About the provider

The YMCA’s mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

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, if a child is to utilize the Aquatics facility after lessons, they must be under parental supervision at all times. A swim test wristband is required for any child 12 and under to swim in the pool without a parent within arm’s reach. The YMCA does not offer make-up swim lessons or refunds for unforeseen circumstances such as inclement weather.
