St. Marys YMCA members can now swim in Town of St. Marys pools for free

Effective immediately, Stratford-Perth Family YMCA members will be able to swim at the Aquatics Centre or St. Marys Quarry for free.

YMCA members simply need to show their membership cards to get free access to either pool.

The permanent partnership comes after a trial promotion was offered this spring as part of the Town’s Recreation and Leisure Services Master Plan implementation.  

“A collaboration with the Town of St. Marys has been something both parties have wanted to try for some time, so we are thrilled to offer residents the opportunity to participate at both facilities” says Stratford-Perth Family YMCA Manager, Jay Colquhoun.

Town of St. Marys Aquatics Supervisor Andrea Slade echoes the sentiment, “We’re excited to partner with the Stratford-Perth Family YMCA. Varying your activities is a great way to stay motivated and healthy when trying to achieve fitness goals.”

To learn more residents can contact the Pyramid Recreation Centre at 519-284-2160 or St. Marys YMCA at 519-284-2500.
