Facility Notes
This 100-year old facility was renovated to the tune of $30 million; the pool area was completed and reopened in 2014. The rest of the renovation has also been completed, but we don't know exactly when the last work was done.
Facility Reviews
This YMCA is undergoing a complete renovation [Now completed. - Eds.], but the locker rooms and pool area are open, nice, and new! It's very bright, clean, and new, and, despite being a 'basement pool', it is very brightly lit and seems like daylight. On my Sunday morning swim, the pool was fairly busy but I had a lane to myself and the water was crystal clear, although a bit warm for my taste (85º-86º F). There are 4 lap lanes plus a 5th extra-wide "lane" for other water activities. Lanes may be reduced from time to time when classes are being taught. Entrance was free for me with my YMCA membership from the west coast; the man at the front desk said normal guest fee was $15 but that a 3-day guest pass could be obtained online for free.
Towels are provided, but bring a padlock for a locker.

What a great YMCA! Cool old building. Nice staff. The pool was nice, I dropped in on a Wednesday afternoon and was the only one in the pool for a while. I was able to get a three-day pass through their website, just make sure to set it up in advance as it took a day to receive an email back. Still $15 otherwise. The locker room was clean and had private showers and a suit dryer. I definitely recommend it.
