Based on new guidance from Jefferson County Public Health, Tri-County Health Department and the City and County of Denver, the following changes to our policies are effective on November 24, 2021:

  • Any individual, ages two (2) and older, regardless of vaccination status, is required to wear a mask when entering or within an indoor space at the YMCA.
  • This includes all members; program participants in sports, Adventure Zone and any other programs conducted inside our YMCAs; and our staff.
  • Individuals who are in the pool and actively engaged in pool activity will be exempt from wearing a mask. A mask will be required going to and from the pool.
  • Masks are required in the saunas, not the steam rooms.
  • Under previous health orders, youth in Y Academy, Out of School Time programs operating in our Ys and that staff are already required to wear a mask and will continue to do so.
  • If you are a member or program participant with a mask exemption, please advise Front Desk/Program Staff. You will be provided with a wristband to wear the entire time you are in the YMCA.
