The Bath Area Family YMCA & Landing YMCA
• WHAT'S NEW •

It’s been a busy summer here at the Y. Our summer campers are having a blast, and we’ve all been enjoying the sunny days and warm weather. It's hard to believe it's already August!
We are closely following CDC guidelines as they are released, and as of August 5 the Covid-19 transmission status for Cumberland County, where the Landing Y is located, has changed to "Substantial." At this time, masks are recommended for both vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals at the Landing YMCA. Please click here for more details on our latest guidelines.
We are continuing to expand our programs as much as possible, and gymnasium and fitness schedules are frequently updating. In Bath, Open Gym now runs 5-7 a.m. Monday-Friday, with Pickleball beginning at 7 a.m. through most of the morning. Our rock wall is also open again for Open Climbing on Tuesdays from 4-7 p.m. At the Brunswick Landing, we’ve recently added Ride & Shine Spinning to our fitness class schedule. This fun new class is offered Mondays and Fridays at 8:15 a.m. and is a terrific way to start the day. And also at the Landing, on August 29 we will host our Growing Stronger Together 5-Mile Race - visit bathymca.org/5mile to sign up!

Swim Lessons for New Americans |
|
|
The Bath Area Family YMCA recently launched a new, free swim lesson program for adult New Americans who do not know how to swim. As our CEO Sabrina Murphy said, “To relocate to a new country and new community that is located by so many water sources must be overwhelming. The Bath Area Family YMCA has a Diversity and Inclusion Task Force that looks at meeting exactly these types of essential needs in or community.” CLICK HERE to read an article profiling the program in The Times Record!

We are thrilled to welcome Jodie Singer to the Bath Area Family YMCA team! Jodie is our new Food Programs Coordinator, and you may have already seen her around town driving the veggie van and distributing food for our summer food program!
“It’s been eye-opening learning how much the Y is already doing to combat hunger in our community," Jodie says. "The numerous local partnerships show the strength and dedication to our neighbors and families in need. I am excited to be a part in the growth of a program I feel so passionate about.”
With a background in social work and graduate school experience at Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program, Jodie is a terrific fit for her new role. She lives in Richmond and is a new mom to 1 1/2 year old Mirabel. She is also an avid beekeeper.
Welcome, Jodie!

Do More with Your Membership
A Y membership has always been more than access to a facility. Your memberships help us serve more neighbors, especially in times of need. In addition to memberships for adults, family, youth and seniors, we've added new options.
Want to stay fit and connected, but not ready to come back in person? Our Virtual Membership offers 15 online classes a week, including yoga and Barre led by our local instructors.
Our Impact Membership gives you the opportunity to be a part of our YMCA, with or without a facility, in a meaningful way. By becoming an Impact Member, you help us address the needs in our community like food insecurity, education, and isolation. You also receive two passes a month good for use at either facility! Join today and become part of the solution.
