Five Reasons Why Summer is Better at the Y
Summer is coming and the YMCA of Greater Brandywine wants it to be your best summer ever!
With summer approaching, the YMCA wants to help you stay active, connected and healthy. There are so many ways to do so at our branches across Chester County. Check out our five favorite ways to stay healthy this summer.
Make a Splash in our Swimming Pools
Nothing is better than jumping in a swimming pool on a hot day—and the YMCA has plenty of them. Our pools feature water slides, water features, kiddie pools, shaded spaces, play areas and more – all monitored by our Ellis-trained lifeguards. Skip the sunscreen and swim in our indoor pools or hit the outdoor pools.
Try Something New with Summer Programs
Our catalog of offerings is growing over the summer with a variety of sports classes like soccer, basketball and pickleball joining the menu. Summer is also a great time to look into swimming lessons to help reinforce water safety skills.
Programs start at just $24.99 per month with your YGBW Membership. Register now!
