There’s a lot to do at the Center!

With a youth membership, kids can swim, shoot hoops, walk or run on the indoor track, participate in instructor-led programs and more. Depending on their age, they may also have access to different areas of the facility.

Here’s a quick look at youth access:
🌀 Ages 8 & under: Can participate in instructor-led programs without a parent in the program space and use the Kids’ Center while a parent uses the facility.
🌀 Ages 9–11: Can use the Leisure Pool, indoor track and swim laps in the Competition Pool, plus participate in instructor-led programs.
🌀 Ages 12–13: Can use most areas of the facility without direct supervision, with some restrictions.
🌀 Ages 14+: Full facility access.

Children ages 11 and under are not permitted to use the hot tub, free weight room or fitness center. Children must be supervised by a parent or responsible individual age 15+ as required by our youth access guidelines.

From basketball to swimming and everything in between, there are plenty of ways for kids to get active at the Center.
