Our History
 Community leaders requested a charter to set up a YMCA in Kent County in the early 1940s and organized the YMCA of Dover in 1945 on a farm at the current location. Local churches and community centers provided space for many programs. In 1964, the Dover Rotary Club raised funds to build a Y facility. Dedicated in 1968, the building included a pool, multipurpose room and rooms for programs.

In 1997, an expansion doubled the size, including a larger pool, a Fitness/Wellness Center and new locker rooms. The Y in Dover remained independent until 1984 when it merged with the Wilmington and New Castle County YMCA to form the statewide YMCA of Delaware Association.

The first of several name changes occurred in 1964, when the YMCA of Dover became the Dover-Kent County YMCA. In 1980, the Eastern Sussex YMCA in Rehoboth aligned with the Dover-Kent County Y, which led to another name change. The new name was the YMCA of Southern Delaware. After the merger with all the other YMCAs in the state, the name changed again to the Central Delaware YMCA and Aquatic Center.

Members continue to enjoy a full and balanced life with ongoing opportunities to develop spirit, mind and body.

OUR MISSION
