Mask Update

Masks are optional for program participants, staff and visitors in all programs operating in YMCA of Delaware locations.

Let’s stop the spread together!

Mr. Clean and his team are working hard to keep the Y in tip-top shape! We are dedicated to keeping our members healthy and safe with super clean facilities, upgraded air filtration systems proven to kill 99% of viruses, and continuous sanitization with EPA-approved cleaners. We have tons of alternative workout options for everyone – classes online, outdoors and in the pool. Plus, spacious studios are open for your personal workout.

You can help prevent the spread too with a few easy steps! Always wear a mask in public spaces, keep your distance from others, wash your hands often, and get vaccinated. Learn more here.

 

We are following the guidelines set forth by the State of Delaware health and public officials, and have taken all necessary steps to ensure a healthy and comfortable experience for our members and staff. Please check back frequently for more information and updates on our health and safety guide.

  • Updated HVAC equipment – Needle Point Bipolar Ionization Units have been installed in the HVAC equipment at all of our locations!
