YMCA of Greater Louisville

KIDS' CLUB REOPENING GUIDE

IMPORTANT COVID-19 MEMBER UPDATE

A current Executive Order requires the wearing of face masks IN ALL AREAS, AT ALL TIMES while at the YMCA. This includes while you are working out (except while swimming). Guidelines vary in Indiana and masks are not required during cardio workouts or while swimming.

In order to allow you to visit at a time you are most comfortable and to ensure we are able to adhere to the capacity limits, we also have a new tool that allows you to see how active your YMCA branch is before you visit.

The Y is working diligently with safety as our guide in order to provide a healthy environment in all of our child-serving programs. We have been working with internal experts, as well as local and state officials to address issues related to social distancing, sanitizing requirements and wellness checks for staff and participants. Please keep in mind, these guidelines are subject to change based on new information or additional guidance from health officials.
