Making a Splash — Big News for Lionville in 2026!
We’re thrilled to share exciting news with our Lionville and Exton families — the YMCA of Greater Brandywine’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved the full rebuild of the outdoor pool at the Lionville Community YMCA!
Construction will begin in Summer 2025, and the new pool will be ready to welcome you back for Summer 2026.
This major investment reflects our ongoing commitment to the health, happiness, and well-being of our members and the greater community. The new pool will serve as a vibrant hub for family fun and recreation, swimming lessons and youth programs, water fitness and summer memories!
We’re building more than just a pool — we’re creating a space where all generations can come together to move, connect, and thrive.
