If you've walked by the Dalton Youth Center lately, you may have noticed things look a little different...

Paint cans everywhere.
Ladders in every room.
Projects underway around every corner.

That's because the Dalton Youth Center is getting a major refresh!

From fresh paint and updated furnishings to improved technology and gathering spaces, we're creating an environment that reflects the incredible young people we serve.

The countdown is on—we're aiming to have everything ready in time for summer camp.

Thank you to everyone helping us build something special for the next generation. Especially Louis Ditello and his crew who have been painting last weekend!

For many of our members, the pool is about much more than exercise.

It is a place to build strength, improve health, find friendship, and share a few laughs along the way.

Whether you're looking for water fitness classes, lap swimming, swim lessons, or simply a welcoming community, there's a place for you in the pool.
