The Y’s pool has a shallow side (7 inches graduating to 3-1/2 feet) as well as a side that is 25 meters in length and no deeper than 5 feet. Y Membership is not required.

The Y’s Water Exercise program encourages people of all ages to use the buoyant qualities of water to enhance their physical fitness through exercise. It’s an ideal form of exercise for all ages and increases physical strength and endurance without putting stress and strain on joints, as in land-based exercise. Swimmers and non-swimmers alike can take part in this type of exercise to reduce emotional stress and tension, improve health, and encourage and improve feelings of well-being and self-esteem.
