YMCA Aquatics

WEATHER AND CANCELLATION POLICY
Pool closes for 30 minutes from the last lightning strike that is within a 10 mile radius.  All aquatics programs (including Swim Lessons and Water Aerobics) are cancelled and/or rescheduled when air temperature drops below 62 degrees F.  Be sure to have our App downloaded with push notification enabled to be the first to know of Swim Lesson Cancellations!

Pool closes entirely when air temperature drops below 50 degrees F.  Be sure to email our Aquatics Director to be on the Lap Swim Email list.  Temperatures are monitored via local weather apps set to the Y’s Stuart location.

SWIM CLUB
The Treasure Coast Wahoos Swim Club is designed to prepare kids to swim competitively while also having fun.  This program is designed for children ages 5–18 who can swim the length of the pool and have a basic knowledge of three strokes: freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. Swimmers of all levels and abilities are accepted. Practice Schedule:

• Mondays and Wednesdays, 5-6pm

This program is FREE for members. Non-members pay a $5 drop-in fee.
BIRTHDAY PARTIES/EVENTS/PRIVATE LESSONS
Our pool is available for hosting birthday parties and events! We have packages that start at $75/members or $99/non-members for 10 kids, Saturdays and Sundays. Call 772-286-4444.

SWIM TESTING POLICY
A 25-yard swim test is required for all children 18 years and under who are part of an incoming group, birthday party or family free swim. All swimmers 18 and under who are not part of an organized aquatics program with Y staff (such as swim lessons or swim teams) are required to wear a wristband indicating their swim test status.

• Those who pass have access to all areas of main pool, slides and kiddie pool. Children under age 8 must have a parent on the pool deck. Children over age 8 must have a parent on YMCA property.
• Those who do not pass have access to kiddie pool only and must have a parent in the kiddie pool area. Access to main pool is allowed only while wearing a life jacket and in direct reach of an adult. Children who are learning to swim and are in the direct hold of an adult on a one-on-one basis are allowed in the main pool without a life jacket.
