🎃Please join us for our Annual Pumpkin Family Swim!🎃

This year, we’re celebrating on Halloween! Come burn off some of that trick-or-treating anticipation energy with an hour of family fun in the pool. Each child will also get to take home their very own pumpkin!

Session 2: 1:00–2:00 PM

Fee: $10 per child

Pumpkin Donations Needed!

We are looking for pumpkin donations to help make this event possible! If you have extra pumpkins that you would like to donate, we would greatly appreciate your support. Donated pumpkins can be dropped off at the YMCA during our regular operating hours.
