Frequently Asked Pool Questions

When do you have lap swim?

Our lap pool opens at 5AM Monday through Friday, at 7AM on Saturdays, and 8AM on Sundays. Check our online schedule or our mobile app for lap swim and pool hours.
 

What should I wear/bring with me to swim?

Please wear a swim cap. This helps us keep our pools clean and hair-free! Please shower before entering the pool and wear appropriate swim attire. 

Not swimming? Please don't forget your shoe covers! Covering or removing your street shoes help keep our decks clean for all swimmers.
 

What swim class should I or my child sign up for?

We offer swim lessons for kids and adults of all abilities. Learn more about different stages of swim classes to find the right class for you or your child.

What do I need to know for the first day of swim class?

Please check in at the Security Desk when entering the building. If you don't have a YMCA ID card, please allow time to visit the Member Services Desk to obtain a card for the session. Bring a swim cap, your swim attire, and a lock to secure your belonging during class.
 

How do I know when I or my child can move up to the next level?

Our swim instructors monitor each participant's progress throughout the session. Progress reports are handed out during the fifth week of classes and will tell you which level you or your child should register for next session. Priority registration opens for members during the sixth week of classes, and opens for community members during the seventh week of classes.
 

How do make-up classes work?

If you or your child miss a class for a medical reason, you may request a make-up lesson. Please contact our aquatics team, and they will check if there is availability in your lesson's level and schedule your make-up. Our membership team is not able to schedule make-ups. 

If the YMCA has to cancel class due to weather or maintenance, make-ups or credits will be given.
