The Guelph Y is committed to quality and convenient swimming programs for all ages and all members. Every Guelph Y member has the access to the pool and various swimming programs, which are included in their membership. The Guelph Y pool is a welcoming and positive environment that focuses on enhancing every individual’s skill. Our pool programming has a strong emphasis on strengthening the relationship between participant and instructor.

At the Guelph Y we are committed to safety for children and vulnerable persons within our facility.
