Q: Why is the Fulton pool reopening and not the entire building?
A: Since late 2020, the Fulton Family YMCA has been open as a youth recreation program center, housing after school programs, summer camps, youth sports, and our TYDE swim team. During this time, the YMCA has continued conversations with partners to enable us to fully open the facility in a way that is financially sustainable to the organization and impactful to the community.

A: While we continue conversations with potential partners, the YMCA will continue to balance operating the pool for membership and serving as a youth recreation and program center.
Q: If I have canceled my membership and want to join again, do I have to pay a joining fee?
A: Unless there is an active membership promotion, joining fees will not be waived. Memberships will need to be purchased with another branch other than Fulton as your home branch.
