In addition, we partner with community businesses and organizations for specialized health, wellness and fitness programming. Facilities on site include a nursery school room and heated outdoor swimming pool including children’s pool, snack bar and locker rooms. Through Building Bridges, a financial assistance program for those unable to afford the cost of membership or program fees, the YMCA can reach everyone in the community. Finally the South Hills YMCA is looking for ways to partner with our neighbors further south in Washington County and look for ways to bring programming and opportunities to them as well.
