Mother and daughter doing sit ups together at home

We have enjoyed seeing you in our community centers since September. You bring our mission to life! In support of preventing the spread of COVID-19 and the Governor’s orders, the Y is shifting operations to help you stay healthy at home and meet our community's needs:

  • YMCA buildings are open for pool activities only. All other areas of the Y are closed, effective November 17. Pool activities include lap swimming, water aerobics, and recreational swim. Please continue to make reservations for all pool activities. Building hours remain the same.
  • Your favorite group exercise classes will continue online beginning Thursday, November 19. Classes are available to Y members only, so please continue to make reservations and you'll receive online login information via email the day of your class.
  • Arts, dance, and gymnastics programs will be available online beginning November 23. Registered participants will receive direct communication via email with login information for your class.
  • YMCA Child Care and YMCA Camp Seymour Scholars remain open to provide distance learning support to more than 600 students every day.
  • YMCA Camp Seymour Outdoor Adventures will continue with one family per activity.
  • Tacoma Center YMCA and Mel Korum Family YMCA will continue to provide showers to our homeless population in partnership with Valeo Vocation.
  • Y on the Fly will continue serving middle school students with academic support and family resources in the Tacoma community.

We hope all Y members stay healthy during this time. Your Y membership will remain active so you can continue to enjoy the pool and virtual classes, but you may apply for a Y Experience Scholarship at bit.ly/ymcascholarship or place your membership on hold at no cost at bit.ly/ymcaonhold.

As a Y community, we have strengthened community together and stayed healthy together, and we will continue to support each other.
