Great Bridge Hickory Family YMCA Outdoor Pool Closure
Thank you for another wonderful season at the Great Bridge/Hickory Family YMCA outdoor pool. We’ve loved seeing so many of you enjoy lap swimming and fun moments together in the water.
In past years, we’ve kept the outdoor pool open year-round for lap swimming and programs. After reviewing usage trends and seasonal impact, we’ve made the decision to pause operations during the coldest months. This allows us to care for the facility, conserve energy, and focus resources where they’ll have the greatest benefit for our members and community. We will continue to develop and expand our programs and monitor the feasibility of using the outdoor space year-round.
The outdoor pool will close for the winter season on Saturday, November 22, 2025, and will reopen on Monday, April 6, 2026.
We appreciate your understanding as we take this step to ensure the long-term health of our facilities and programs. Our indoor pools remain open and available for lap swimming, water exercise, and recreation throughout the winter.
Thank you for being part of the Y community and for helping us strengthen the places and programs that make a difference every day.
