Enrollment Details:

• Programs are charged monthly. Learn more here.

Prior to Coming to Class:

• We encourage kids to arrive at the Y wearing their bathing suit for swim class or their leotard for gymnastics under their regular clothes ready to take class.
• Please bring a full water bottle. (Water fountains are not available)
• Face masks are required at all times while in the facility.
• Please remember to leave at least 6 feet of space for social distancing between you and others.
• We encourage bringing as few people as possible to your class so that we can keep numbers low and members can be safely distanced from each other.

When You Arrive:

• You’ll be greeted by our Member Service Desk staff. All staff are required to wear Personal Protective Equipment.
• We will ask you health questions. Anyone that is symptomatic will not be allowed admission into the facility for the safety of all.
• You will self scan into the facility using your key tag or the “HockYFitness” mobile app on your phone.
• Locker rooms will be available for changing and individual showers are also available.
• A limited number of lockers will be available for use.

Ways We’re Keeping You Safe:

• Health screenings for all participants, caregivers and staff. You will be asked health questions prior to entering the Y each time you visit.
• Self-scanning check in and check out.
• Reduced capacity. Most classes have reduced capacity by 40%-50% to allow for social distancing. Max class sizes range from 3 to 8 kids per class depending upon program and size of space available.
• Masks required for staff, participants and caregiver. Children must arrive wearing a mask or face covering. The only time masks are not required is when participants are in the pool swimming.
• Between every class, staff will disinfect all used equipment, railings, seating and more.
• Hand washing stations and hand sanitizer supplies are available for use.
• When you exit the Y, please remember to scan out with your key tag. This process helps us keep track of our facility capacity to keep everyone safe.

What to Expect for Swim Lessons:

• There will be very little seating on the pool deck and a small observation area in the main lobby to observe the pool.
• Face masks are required at all times while in our facility and when entering the pool area. Your child will meet their swim instructor on the pool deck with their face mask on. Right before entering the water, participants can remove their mask and hand it to their parent/guardian.
• Our swim instructors will teach both in and out of the pool depending on the level of instruction needed. Again, all staff will be wearing masks.
• When the swim lesson is over, your child should get out of the water, dry off, and put their face mask on right away.
• Hand washing stations and hand sanitizer supplies are available for use.
• After the swim lesson, there is only a short window of time for instructors to talk to parents and clean equipment. You can proceed to the locker room to change.

What to Expect for Classes:

• We encourage kids to arrive at the Y wearing clothes they need, under regular clothes if needed, so that they’ll be ready for class.
• Have your child leave items in one of our cubbies located outside the gym when possible and wait outside the gym until their instructor calls them in.
• Face masks are required to be worn at all times by participants, staff and caregivers.
• When it’s time for class to begin, the gym doors will be opened. The instructor will call your child’s name for attendance. Your child will be asked to sanitize their hands upon entering the gym. They should bring in a full water bottle. If a child is allergic to hand sanitizer, they will be asked to wash their hands before entering the gym.

Other Amenity Information:

• Limited seating will be available for each class to allow for social distancing. We ask that each child in class is accompanied by one caregiver during class, and that caregivers do not bring siblings who are not enrolled.
• At this time our Kid’s Gyms are closed.
