Y Connection
Bible StudyWe are currently registering for a new Women's Bible Study. It is a Beth Moore study, "Living Beyond Yourself." There will be a meet and greet on Friday, March 5 at 10:45am. The class will run on Fridays from 10:45-11:45 am. The first class will start on March 12. There is no cost for the bible study. All we ask is that you purchase your own book. Please contact Katie Ayer for more info at 963-3605.
Cycling GroupsThis group is open to the general public. There are several organized cycling groups that meet each week. Several of these groups will start up again after Daylight Savings Time. We offer beginner and intermediate Thursday night rides as well as Saturday morning rides for the intermediate and advanced. Contact information for this group can be found by reaching Katie Ayer.
Early Morning BasketballThis group is open to YMCA members only. The early morning basketball crew is very friendly and well organized. Teams are chosen based on the number of players that attend. When you arrive, just sign your name on the board in the gym to reserve your spot in the next game. This crew has been around for a long time, welcomes newcomers, and really has a lot of fun. Games run from 5:45 am until 7:00 am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Running GroupsWe have a variety of running groups leaving from our Y throughout the week. We have one group that leaves at 5:30 am on Thursdays. Another group leaves from different locations in the Simpsonville area at 6:30 am on Saturdays. The Walk to Run Beginner Group meets here at the Y on Wednesdays at 9:15am. Other groups run on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:30 am, and these groups include all levels of runners from the beginner to the half-marathoner. Fore more information, please contact Lori Dredge or Katie Ayer at 963-3605.
SwimmingMembers get together M-W-F around 8:00 AM for a very friendly swim practice. They usually bring their workouts to share. We generally have three swimmers per lane (using 3 lanes or 2 depending on the number of participants) but as long as you are open to their workouts, they are open to round swimming. This would be best described as Masters Swimming without the team logo, but definitely with the push to keep you active in your swimming.
We also have coached practices that have been added to our programs. These coached swims are at 5:30 in the morning and the workouts are provided.
VolleyballWe are currently in the middle of our Spring Adult Volleyball league season.We will be offering this league in the Spring and in the Fall. You can join either as an individual, or as a team, The league meets on Wednesday nights. Check back in August for the Fall League information. We also have pick-up volleyball open to all Y members. This co-ed group meets on Tuesday evenings at 8:00 PM.
