The Alford Aquatic Center pool has been cleaned, but swimming is always weather permitting. Conditions can change throughout the day, and pool operations may be temporarily suspended or adjusted due to lightning, thunderstorms, heavy rain, or other safety concerns.

We update our socials as soon as we can, but the fastest way to confirm the status of the pool is by calling our front desk at 740-345-9622.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we completed the required cleaning and adhere to safety procedures. We appreciate all of you!

“With unexpected medical bills piling up, there was no way I could afford summer camp for my two boys. I dreaded the thought of them stuck inside all day while I worked, missing out on the kind of summer every child should have. Then I found out about the Y’s scholarships. The Y made it possible for my kids to spend their days outside playing and making new friends. Every evening they came home exhausted, in the best way, full of stories and new camp songs. The Y didn’t just give my kids a summer of fun, they gave me peace of mind when I needed it most.” Liz, mother of Dean and Alex.

Thanks to generous support from donors and members like you, our Y is able to give hundreds of local children a summer filled with fun, friendships, and lots of time outdoors. Our summer day camp provides a screen-free environment where kids can be creative and stay active while parents enjoy peace of mind knowing their children are safe all summer long. Give today.
