EXPANDING IMPACT
BUILDING STRONGER COMMUNITIES
Our first year in the new Y has been nothing short of amazing! Since opening in December 2023, over 600,000 visits have been made to the new ! In September alone, 10,740 class spots have been filled by individuals boosting their heat health, balance and strength. The pools offered 839 class spots for members choosing the low-impact, water-based environment. Youth programs are thriving too. Over 540 children participated in youth sports in Spetember, learning not just athletic skills but the values of teamwork and sportsmanship. Additionally, 121 kids took swim lessons, gainin essential water safety skills in the Aquatics Center. None of these programs would be possible without the generousity of our donors.
