YMCA of Southwestern Ontario is pleased to announce a new pilot partnership with the City of St. Thomas that will offer St. Thomas residents access to indoor aquatics programming consisting of aquafit, swimming lessons, and public swims at the Family YMCA of St. Thomas-Elgin.
"We are thrilled to announce that our pool is now accessible to all residents of St. Thomas, thanks to our incredible partnership with the municipality," said Andrew Lockie, CEO of YMCA of Southwestern Ontario. "By opening our doors to the community, we not only fulfill the need for indoor swimming facilities but also contribute to fostering health and wellness for people of all ages. This initiative reflects our commitment to igniting potential in everyone and promoting a healthier and more active lifestyle throughout the year."
