Greetings,

For those of you new to our YMCA family, welcome. The YMCA is a nonprofit, charitable, community service organization, comprised of members, volunteers and staff of various backgrounds who come together to develop our spirits, minds and bodies in a nurturing and encouraging environment.

As a member, you are entitled to a wide variety of programs and services, including Pilates, Cycling, Youth and Family Fitness, licensed Child Care, Older Adult activities, Swim Lessons, video game-based workouts and more, at all YMCA of South Hampton Roads locations. Discover the fun activities that await you and your family by checking out the Calendar of Events section on our site. Our facilities, which extend from the Eastern Shore of Virginia to Northeastern North Carolina, offer superior programming and state-of-the-art equipment, under the care and guidance from highly qualified staff.

In addition to the regular issues of the quarterly newsmagazine, Inside Your YMCA, watch for a comprehensive Aquatic Guide including a detailed listing of special events and activities at our Indoor and Outdoor pools. Be sure to visit this site regularly for the most current schedules and information on each family center page. You can also download past issues of Inside Your YMCA here.

As an organization committed to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities, the YMCA is uniquely positioned to help address our nation's epidemic of inactivity and obesity. The YMCA of South Hampton Roads supports the national Activate America initiative in a continuing effort to help keep youth, teens and adults of all ages active and healthy. Look forward to more programs and services, like our Y-Change program, aimed at assisting individuals in developing healthy lifestyles. I hope you soon discover the many ways you and your loved ones will enjoy being a part of our YMCA family!
