JUMP ON IN
We believe the ability to swim is a critical life skill.
When you learn to swim, you gain confidence, acquire safety / rescue skills and experience water ac-
tivities you can enjoy for a lifetime. Throughout all levels, we teach students how to be safer and
more comfortable in the water.

BUILDING A BETTER YOU
                           What is a Health Coach, exactly?
A certified Health Coach is a wellness authority and supportive mentor who
motivates individuals to cultivate positive health choices. Your health coach will help you see your
life from all angles—not just nutrition and fitness. She can help you evaluate all of the important
areas in your life and how they affect your overall health. She can make suggestions based on your
individual needs and goals.

                         What a Health Coach does not do…
Your health coach does not prescribe to any specific diet, rather she will help you find something
that works specifically for YOU. Your health coach does not give you a nutrition/menu plan, but
they can show you how to create your own based on your individual needs. Your health coach can-
not diagnose, treat, or prescribe; but she can help you seek out the additional help you may re-
quire.
  If you think a Health Coach can help you on your journey to health, ask for a
                 Health History form and a card at the front desk.

                                                       Guest Passes-Starts July 5th
                                                       Guests Passes are given to guests wanting to use
                                                       the facility with a member that is present. Each

Nation Wide Membership
The Y-USA is launching nationwide reciprocity so that your YMCA membership will provide access to
almost every other YMCA in the country. The requirements include that your home YMCA is the facility
closest to your residence, and you use your home facility more than 50 % of the time. This is a great
benefit for people who travel. However, if you plan to use another YMCA as part of an extended stay
(more than 28 consecutive days), you may be asked to put your home YMCA membership on hold and
join that other YMCA. It is recommended that you check with the YMCA you want to visit in advance to
see if there are any restrictions.
Supervision of children / youth access to the YMCA
For everyone’s safety, children under 9 years of age must be accompanied by an adult in the facility.
There is a 3-hour maximum for unattended youth 9-17, and they must be engaged in an appropriate
activity. Unattended youth (members and nonmembers) will not be allowed in the YMCA until 1 p.m.,
when youth activities start. Visits to the YMCA and YMCA activities are not intended to substitute for
all-day child care. We do offer an all-day summer camp, and pre-registration is required. The YMCA re-
serves the right to deny access to individuals who abuse this privilege. It is our policy to notify the po-
lice if minors under 17 are left at the YMCA after closing.
Children under 9 years of age and 52 inches in height must be accompanied by an adult in water at all
times during open swims.
Youth ages 9 to 14 are welcome to use the weight room under parental supervision, but are limited to
Nautilus and cardio sections, not free weights. Youth 15 and older have full access and can sign up for
an orientation.
                                                    Day Pass Usage
                                                    To better serve our members, the YMCA reserves the
                                                    right to not sell day-use passes when the YMCA is at or
                                                    near capacity. Starts July 5th as staffing and capacity
                                                    allows.
                                                    Our swimming pools and gyms often reach capacity when
                                                    the weather is nice. Please be aware that we will have to
                                                    refuse to sell day-use passes if we are at or near capacity.
                                                    Even if you called to check the schedule, we may be busier
                                                    when you arrive than we were when you called.
                                                    The YMCA is not set up to accommodate groups without
                                                    prior arrangement. This includes any group of 10 or more.
