Lightning Policy: The Springfield YMCA closes its indoor
pools when lightning is within a 6 mile radius of the
branch. We monitor weather information during inclement
weather. Due to the distance between our branches, one Y
may have pools that are open when the other Y is closed.
In an effort to reduce any inconvenience to our members,
the Y notifies of closing via our Facebook page, Twitter,
and our smart phone app push notifications. We will post
closings as quickly as possible. If there are storms in the
area, we recommend you check one of these resources or
call either branch before heading to the Y for a swim.

If the YMCA cancels a class/program due to inclement

Did you know? In December 1891, at
the International YMCA Training School in
Springfield, MA, the school’s director gave P.E.
teacher James Naismith two weeks to come
up with an indoor winter game to challenge
a class of future Y directors. Naismith hung
peach baskets to the bottom of a second-level
running track and taught the men his new game:
basketball. Today, basketball is second only to
soccer as the most popular sport in the world.
There are 8 basketballs hidden in this brochure.
While you and your child are looking for great Y
programs, circle each basketball and write the
page numbers below. Bring this brochure in to
either Y branch and have your child show it to
the front desk to receive a prize!
