YMCA of Greenville: There's an app for that

Many people use our website to check group exercise schedules and plan their workouts, and that's great. But sometimes even a smartphone friendly website can be hard to read on your mobile device. So we're pleased to introduce the YMCA of Greenville mobile app. On it, you can check schedules, see if the pool is open, get alerts for class or practice cancellations, turn your phone into your membership card, and find out more about highlighted events, classes and programs. The free app is available for Apple and Droid devices.

May membership drive

If you or a friend have been on the fence about joining the Y, tell them there's no better time than now. We're waiving the joining fee for the month of May at all YMCA of Greenville locations. Membership has its privileges. Y members get discounts on Summer Day Camp, Y Camp Greenville, programs like Youth Sports and swim lessons. Plus access to swimming pools and state of the art fitness equipment and complimentary wellness coaching. To take full advantage of what the Y has to offer, consider a PATH membership, which grants full access to all YMCA of Greenville branches as well as the GHS Life Center.

New: For Healthy Living blog

Playing in the water is a lot of fun, but it's important to remember water safety. At the Y, we've been teaching America how to swim and enjoy the water safely for the past 100 years. Vacation season is almost here, so it won't be long before you and your family are spending time poolside, lakeside, or seaside. Make sure everyone is ready for a fun and safe summer with Y swim lessons. Classes are forming now at the Caine Halter Family Y, Eastside Family Y and YMCA Adams Mill Program Center.

Whether it's dropping five pounds, running your first 5K or making a new personal best on a marathon, we'd love to share your good news. To share, email us here. 

You set a record!

The generosity of Greenville is outstanding. Because of our community partners, donors, and volunteers, the YMCA Open Doors Community Support campaign raised a record-setting amount of money for Y scholarships. Because of these generous companies, individuals, and volunteers, no one will be turned away from Y memberships or programs because of an inability to pay! Because of you, the Y raised 753,262! One hundred percent of that will go to provide financial assistance. We thank you, and the Open Doors scholarship recipients thank you.  We are proud to call Greenville home!
