A Better Pool Experience for Everyone

Here's what's coming.

  • A refreshed, more inviting pool — The pool will be completely replastered, providing a renewed, smoother finish and significantly improving the overall appearance of the pool.
  • Improved safety and code compliance — New pool tile and updated depth markers will improve visibility and bring pool markings up to current code requirements. New pool grates will also replace aging components around the pool.
  • Better accessibility — A new ADA pool chair lift will provide improved and more reliable access to the pool for members with mobility needs.
  • A new pool deck — New deck tile will provide a refreshed surface throughout the aquatics facility and improve the overall appearance of the pool area.
  • Improved lighting — New pool lights will improve underwater visibility and brighten the pool, creating a more welcoming environment for lap swimming, lessons, recreation, and other aquatic programs.
  • Updated and refreshed surroundings — New wall paint, pool tile, deck tile, and other finish improvements will give the entire pool area a cleaner, brighter, and more modern appearance.

Project Updates

Our first full week of renovation is wrapped up, and what a week it’s been! The plaster is coming off, and our pool currently looks like the world’s largest sandbox. All we’re missing are the buckets, shovels, and a few sandcastles!

Our construction crew has been making serious waves (without a single drop of water), and things are moving right along.

Stay tuned for next week’s pool update!

The Northwest YMCA pool renovation is officially underway and off to a strong start! The water is out and the plaster demo has begun. Right now, it's more hard hats than swim caps.

We’ve only just begun, but we’re already making great strides toward our goal of providing a safer, more accessible, and brighter pool for our community.

Stay tuned as we continue to make a splash… just without the water for now!
