Pool Parties

Wouldn't it be great to have a pool party at the YMCA? Your birthday could be spent splashing around and playing with youir friends in our heated pool, eating cake and enjoying a few other surprises as well.

Flexible times available both Saturdays and Sundays, but reserve early to save your special date! Our pool parties are very popular and dates fill quickly. Contact the Y for available dates and pricing information.

Volunteers

Volunteers are the backbone of the YMCA.  Without selfless volunteers, many activities and services simply could not take place.  In addition to our many task forces, committees and Board of Directors, volunteers work directly in programs helping kids and adults of all ages.  If you would like to volunteer, contact the YMCA, 752-5981.

Preschool Instructional Swim Lesson Ages 3-5 years
