Head's up! We’re installing new starter blocks in the Brooks Family YMCA pool. 🚧 Please note the following temporary changes:

Tuesday, September 15
The pool will be closed beginning at 8:30am through the remainder of the day for installation. The pool will be available as usual from opening until 8:30am.

Wednesday, September 16
The pool will be open all day. Lap swim schedule will be modified, with lanes running sideways through the pool. Please be aware that the pool area may be loud due to construction.

Thank you for your patience as we make these improvements to the pool.
