SAFETY IS OUR #1 PRIORITY
The pool is a great place to have fun and exercise but the most important thing at the Y is your safety. In an effort to provide you with the safest environment possible, our staff attends mandatory monthly in-service trainings and is audited regularly. The Welcome Center has lifeguard evaluations and quick checks that provide a fast, easy and effective way for you to help us assess our guards.
