The Y is committed to ensuring everyone can enjoy the Y and makes financial assistance available. We offer a great variety of programs and activities that help people of all ages and abilities grow in spirit, mind and body, and we work to strengthen community.

I’m participating in SwimStrong 2021 to benefit the Annual Campaign for the South City YMCA. On February 27th, I’ll swim a lap for every dollar donated.

Growing up as a YMCA swimmer & eventually coaching YMCA swimming shaped who I am. And introduced me to many of my greatest friends.

I’ve seen how the YMCA makes an impact in St. Louis City. Summer camps, education seminars, book fairs, youth sports, coat drives, swim lessons... The second you walk in, you realize the YMCA is so much more than a gym. It’s an anchor in the community. They provide the financial assistance to make it accessible. And they need the support now more than ever to keep it all going.
