both the pool and the YMCA will continue to provide resources and recreation for the community for the 2021 season.
Hour of operation for the pool will be Monday through Saturday 1 pm to 6 pm and Sunday 2 pm to 6 pm, and continuing again this year family swim nights which will take place every Thursday throughout the summer. Sponsored by Blessing Health Systems, family swim nights will run from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm so that families can spend time together in a fun and safe atmosphere. The admission for family swim night is free, plus there will be food, drinks and a DJ playing music.
Lifeguard Training Available At Quincy YMCA
Being a lifeguard is not all about sitting in a chair and twirling a whistle. You have a very important responsibility to make sure people are safe while they have fun swimming.
The Quincy YMCA wants to make sure that all lifeguards are trained and certified to deal with any situation that may happen on the job. If you are interested you will have to take a a prerequisite swim test on Friday, March 12th at 6 pm, or Saturday, March 13th at 10 am. Once you pass the swim test, you will then have a week to complete the online portion of the class, which will need to be completed before the test dates. After completing the swim test and online portion, you must take the certification test on either Friday, March 19th at 6 pm, or Saturday, March 20th at 10 am. These classes are for members ($120) and non-members ($140) of the Quincy YMCA.
