Family YMCA of Lancaster and Fairfield County Programs Overview

Whether you seek health and fitness classes, child care or day camp programs, aquatic activities, sports and recreation, or other youth and family programs, you’ll find choices at the Y for people of all ages, interests, and abilities. We tailor our program content to meet your needs and we work hard to make every program fun and rewarding.

All YMCA programs allow the YMCA to accomplish our mission, achieve our vision of building strong kids, strong families and strong communities, and reinforce the Y core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Our swim lessons and aquatic classes aren’t just great for exercise, they also build life skills and offer the opportunity for kids and families to bond in a safe environment. From water exercise to lap swimming to open swim, the Family YMCA of Lancaster and Fairfield County provides aquatic opportunities, safety-focused instruction, and family-friendly activities at our two pools at the Robert K. Fox Family YMCA location. In addition to recreational swimming, the Y hosts competitive swim teams for youth, which teach swimmers to value hard work, engage in a team environment, and enjoy high-spirited competition.

The Y’s early learning childcare program is 4-star rated with the State of Ohio’s Step Up to Quality Rating system. It is staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical, and social development of kids, the support parents and families need, and the importance of maintaining a safe & clean environment for children to learn, grow, and thrive.

Our proven programs and trained leaders and counselors deliver meaningful, memorable experiences that keep kids coming back year after year.

We are invested in your health and helping you meet your goals whether that means losing weight, gaining strength, or simply finding ways to increase energy and decrease stress. You’re not only supported by our staff, but you are also a part of a community committed to helping you learn new things, explore new activities, and discover your best self at any stage in your life.

The secret to sticking with a health and fitness program is finding activities you enjoy that keep you motivated, encouraged, moving, and accountable. At the Y, we believe health and fitness mean taking care of the whole you, and we know that even small changes can make a big difference.

Everyone has great potential. At the Y, we help set and achieve personal and educational goals. Confidence is gained as participants recognize the Y as a place where they belong and can feel comfortable exploring new interests and activities. Through various programming opportunities, we make sure that everyone has a chance to envision a positive future.
