Aquatics

Our new Walker D. Kirby Aquatics Center 8-lane pool is now open for lap swim to our Madison Area YMCA members. Please view our Schedules for more information. Lane availability subject to change. Although registration is not required for lap swim, we require swimmers to sign in and out at the pool deck to allow our team to best evaluate our members' pool usage and adjust our schedule and staffing needs as we continue to expand our offerings.

Adult Leisure Swim (18+) is designated for adult (18+) free swim or personal exercise. No lap swim allowed. Non-swimmers must remain in the shallow end. Please be respectful of social distancing at all times inside the Y. Masks will not be required or permitted while in the pool, but as soon as you are out of the water, it is recommended that all participants regardless of vaccination status put their masks back on prior to exiting the pool deck. It is required that all unvaccinated participants MUST put their masks back on prior to exiting the pool deck.

Family Swim is a great way for children and families to spend a valuable time together in our pool and is an exclusive opportunity for active Madison Area YMCA Family Memberships. Reservation is required here. Children must be accompanied by an adult that is present and participating. All family members must arrive together and share the same section in the YMCA pool. Children who are non-swimmers must have an adult in the water with them at all times. Anyone wishing to swim in the deep end must pass a lifeguard swim test. Reservations open 48 hours prior to the time period and close two hours prior.
