OUR NEW POOL IS NOW OPEN
We're excited to have our new pool opened for the community! Construction has finished on our pool and we have opened it up for use while the rest of the facility is still under construction. Please read the FAQ below before your visit.
Sundays: 12:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Monday - Friday: 5:00 am - 9:00pm
Saturdays: 7:00 am - 7:00 pm
No. There are still a few things that will need to be done in the pool area that either can’t be completed before the rest of the building construction is complete or minor things that need to be done but don’t affect our opening. In order to not delay the opening of the pool any longer, we will do additional work in the pool area as needed.
All patrons must enter through the North side of the building. Entrance is right across the street from the bowling alley.
Parking will be available directly on 18th street, in front of the mini golf building, and at the new parking lot located on the northwest side of the building (limited). Some of the new parking area is still designated a construction zone so parking is unavailable there at this time. Any overflow can park at the 18th st. YMCA and walk over. Please be considerate of those who may not be able to walk as far and leave the new parking area to those who need it during peak hours. There will be a couple handicap spots reserved in the new parking area.
THERE IS NO LONGER PARKING FOR YMCA USE AT THE BOWLING ALLEY or along the north driveway. All swim team participants MUST park at the 18TH STREET BUILDING.
There will not be any access to the locker rooms until the rest of the facility opens. However, we will have two temporary changing areas and two private restrooms available.
We will have 4 on-deck showers for patron use to be able to rinse off. There are no private showers. The 18th St building locker rooms will remain open for anyone needing full showers.
We are working with our vendor to get coffee temporarily set up again for morning hours but it won’t be available right away. Coffee hours once equipment has arrived is Monday-Friday 5:30am-noon, Saturday 7:30am-noon, and none on Sunday.
Of course! We are offering both private and group swim lessons. For more information, please see the swimming lessons page located under our Programs tab on the website.
No! We are excited to welcome both members and non-members to use our pool. Any non-members must check in/pay with the 18th st. front desk before going to the 16th st. pool. Once at the 16th st pool, the lifeguard will require to see your proof of check-in. All members will use their membership card to scan themselves in.
The dry sauna is the only spa area that is available at the moment. The hot tub and steam room are waiting for approval to open but will be available soon!

Swimming is a valuable life skill, a great exercise option and a wonderful opportunity to bond with family and friends. The Hastings YMCA offers an abundance of time for open recreational and lap swimming. At the Y, everyone can safely enjoy some time at our pools, get wet and have fun!
