Planning for Colder Weather

Starting Monday, group exercise classes have the option of coming indoors during cold/bad weather or at the discretion of the instructor.

Please be aware that class sizes will be limited indoors, so it'll be important to make your reservation online before coming to class.
Hello Friends!
We want to give a warm welcome to Mary Gaul Wallace, our new Membership Engagement Director! Many of you know Mary through her community work with the United Way of Mid Coast Maine. She looks forward to creating new ways to connect and serve our membership. 

We look forward to holding a ‘meet Mary’ reception as soon as we are able! In the meantime, you are welcome to say hello to Mary at the front desk.
Spotlighting: Kids & Families
Here for you
Fall is in full swing, and families are balancing a lot these days. The Y has partnered with local school districts to offer a hybrid learning program for school-age children. This means that children in families with essential workers and income-eligible families will not have to pay for hybrid care. Our Y has hired and trained staff, implemented safety protocols and even boosted our internet to support additional learning.
Our swim team and gymnastics teams have also eased into practices. These groups use separate entrances, work out in pods, and do not travel or compete, reducing potential exposure of the coronavirus. Our swim team will livestream competitions so parents can watch their child swim without coming into the Y facility.
Introducing Virtual Membership for $20/Month!
Stay active at home with virtual fitness classes
We're here to help you stay active even if you're not ready to visit us! With our new virtual membership, you can livestream online classes daily through Facebook. All livestreamed classes are also saved to our YouTube channel so you can access a workout at any time of day even without Facebook. And it's only $20 a month!
Healthy Living
Fun times at our Fall Festival
It’s important to connect with others during this isolating time. Members of the Landing YMCA gathered recently for a socially-distant fall lunch, complete with live music and pumpkins. Smiles were shared all around!

Making a Difference in our Community
Free meals year-round
Did you see the Y Veggie Van around town this summer? The Y has provided almost 19,000 grab-and-go meals since schools shut down in March. In addition to meals, the Veggie Van delivered fresh produce and shelf-stable groceries provided by the Merrymeeting Gleaners and the Bath Area Back Pack Program. Support for the food program has come from individual donors, the Bath Sunrise Rotary and the Rotary Club of Bath, grants from Full Plates, Nourishing Neighbors, Maine Community Foundation, the United Way of Mid Coast Maine, the Y-USA, and a partnership with the USDA. RSU1 helped us establish the Veggie Van’s route, the Good Food for Bath helped us network, and our staff and volunteers made it happen. We can’t thank these generous people and organizations enough!

The Veggie Van will be out and about again in the coming weeks. In the meantime, grab-and-go meals are available for pickup at the Bath Area Family YMCA from 12-12:30 p.m. weekdays when the Y is open. We’ll post the Veggie Van route soon on our website. Read more about our summer food program in the Times Record.
