We are thrilled to share that the Governor has announced a date we are allowed to open and effective June 20th we will welcome you back! We cannot wait and are ecstatic that day is nearly here! Please stay tuned to our Facebook pages, our website, and email for more information.
We have been actively preparing for the reopening of our Y by adding significant signage, temporarily closing high touch areas, doing deep cleaning, and moving equipment and furniture to promote social distancing.
We have fully implemented, trained for, and inspected all safety and health precautions both as required by the state and local health departments, as well as to meet our own very high Y standards. This includes rigorous training of Y staff to ensure they are fully prepared to welcome members back in a manner consistent with our many new health and safety protocols.

Expect Reduced Capacity: As per the Governor’s Executive Order, all fitness facilities will operate at a 50% capacity. The pool area is limited to a maximum of 15 people. This ensures proper social distancing on the pool deck, determined by state/local authorities.
Stay Home if you are Sick: Members should stay at home if they don’t feel well. The CDC and Maryland Department of Health encourage seniors and members of vulnerable populations, including those with underlying health conditions, to stay at home.
