OPEN SWIM

The YMCA Healthy Living Center Pools do not have open swim times. The lap pool is dedicated to lap swimming and training programs. The exercise pool is open for members to us for exercising, water exercise classes and therapy. You may find OPEN SWIM times for the Metro YMCA’s at www.dmymca.org

LAP SWIM

Lap Swim is designed to be a workout. We ask swimmers to share lanes and circle swim during busy times. Please be courteous to fellow swimmers, so everyone can enjoy a swim workout. Swimmers MUST be 9 years old or older to swim in the lap lanes. Swimmers must be doing CONTINUOUS LAPS during Lap Swim Times.
