Did you hear the good news? The Lap Pool and Teaching Pool at the Andover/North Andover YMCA will reopen on Monday, May 18! We can't wait to welcome you back to these refreshed spaces.🥳

The Family Pool will temporarily close beginning May 18 for approximately two weeks. During this closure, we will complete final lighting upgrades and HVAC unit adjustments to ensure all pool environments are operating comfortably and efficiently for our members and program participants.

We anticipate all three pools being fully operational by early June.

Thank you all for your continued patience and support throughout this pool improvement project.
