Member Registration is open

In the event of inclement weather, including thunder or lightning, the pool will close, and the pool deck will be cleared.  The pool area will remain closed for 20 minutes after each flash of lightning, and/or 20 minutes after each clap of thunder.  All patrons and staff must exit the pool and whirlpool.  Swim lessons will typically run as scheduled and children will learn skills on the pool deck. 

No matter what water aerobic or water exercise class you attend, below is a list of essential items to bring along with you to ensure you have the best possible experience at the pool.

SWIMSUIT

• No matter your age, it’s important to have a swimsuit that fits properly. 

Equipment

The Sewickley Valley YMCA provides equipment necessary for class, although if you would like to bring your own equipment, you can purchase water aerobics or water exercise equipment online at http://www.swimoutlet.com/SewickleyY. 

SHOWER SUPPLIES

• The chlorine in the pool often leaves your skin dry. Remember to bring shower essentials with you including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturizer and a hairbrush.*

WATER

• Remember that swimming is a form of exercise. Bring a water bottle for after your class.

TOWEL

• Bring a towel to the pool deck. It will help keep you warm when finished with class. In addition, it prevents water puddles, which are a slip and fall hazard.

LOCK

• Don’t forget to bring a combination or key lock with you to secure your items in the locker room. If you love it, lock it up! It’s best to keep things like your cell phone, purse and wallet in a safe and dry area.

FLIP FLOPS

• Footwear that is easy to slide on and off is encouraged when walking from the locker room area to the pool deck. A proper pair of flip-flops or water shoes will prevent slipping.
