Swim
“The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.” ― Woodrow Wilson
We are thrilled to announce that our pool is now open.
Riverdale Y members may once again enjoy our indoor, heated, 25 yard, saline pool for lap swim or lounging. Reservations are necessary. Please come to the pool prepared to swim. You may store your personal items on the deck and rinse before and after swimming, in our deck shower. Once you have finished swimming, you may change back into dry clothes in our locker room stalls. Group lessons are operating at a reduced capacity to allow for physical distancing and instructors wear a faceshield at all times. Private lessons are available at all times for all ages and abilities.
