We Have Some Exciting News!

UPDATE FROM
THE CEO

Hello Y Family,

Starting December 2nd, we will be closing the entire natatorium (the whole pool area) for about 6 weeks to install a brand-new water slide! This required but exciting upgrade is a big win for our Y and our community.

Due to the scale of the project and to keep everyone safe, the whole natatorium must be closed during construction.

Your Membership Still Works for You

Because we participate in YMCA Nationwide Membership, the Saginaw Family YMCA is always available to you to use for free.

Also, Delta College has agreed to allow Dow Bay Area Family YMCA members to use their pool during the duration of our slide renovation at no cost to you. This includes lap swim and any classes held in the pool. To use their facility, simply go to Delta College’s Fitness Desk, they will have a list of members on file. Tell them you are a Y member.

Thank you for your patience and excitement as we make these improvements. We can’t wait to welcome you back to have even more fun and memories, especially with the new slide!

If you have any questions or thoughts about these projects, you can always call me at my direct line at (989) 778-3447 or email me at skrankota@ymcabaycity.org.

See you at the Y,

Steve Signature

Financial AsSistance Programs

Individuals will not be turned away from participating in programs, activities, and/or membership due to their inability to pay. The Y maintains a generous financial assistance program for youth, adults, and families who demonstrate financial need. Funding for this program is provided by fundraising events at the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA and community-wide donors.
