We’re improving our indoor pool to enhance your experience at the Y! Beginning December 6, the indoor pool will undergo renovations, including resealing the pool deck. To accommodate this work, the indoor pool and sauna will be temporarily closed through January 4.
The good news? Your Y membership gives you options! Our women’s, men’s, and family locker rooms will remain open, and YMCA of Delaware members enjoy unlimited access to all Y locations throughout the state. We encourage you to visit a nearby Y to continue enjoying indoor pools, saunas, and other amenities during the closure.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make these improvements. We look forward to welcoming you back to an improved pool space in the new year!
