RIVER VALLEY REGIONAL YMCA

We are excited to be welcoming you back!

As we prepare to reopen our YMCAs, we want to assure you that safety remains our top priority.
For the safety of all members and staff, several changes or restrictions will be implemented upon reopening. One of the restrictions we must follow is to limit our occupancy to 50% and maintain social distancing. In order for us to ensure we can manage this, we have decided to limit some services. We understand that some of you only use our facilities for these services and we hope to offer them very soon. By limiting o% occupancy and social distancing guidance from the State and CDC. 

Once we are confident we can meet these restrictions and provide a safe environment for Staff and Members, we will move to a Phase Two with fewer restrictions.
