Nauticus members visiting the Y
Members of the Nauticus can visit any of the 21 YMCA of South Hampton Roads locations to enjoy a safe place to exercise with state-of-the-art fitness equipment, indoor and outdoor pools, group fitness classes, and child care while you work out.
- Nauticus members show their valid Nauticus Museum membership card, photo ID, and complete a guest waiver form upon visiting any YMCA of South Hampton Roads location.
- You can activate your YMCA February membership online or visit your local YMCA.
- Pre-registration is recommended for lap swimming and fitness classes, but not to visit the Y. Pre-registration is not required for open swim, and hours vary by location.
- Nauticus members can also take advantage of discounted member pricing on programs such as personal training and swim lessons during the membership swap.
Nauticus members who join the Y in February or March will pay no joining fee, a savings of up to $100.
