Mission Statement:The Rye YMCA is a family oriented community service organization which welcomes all people and promotes positive values through programs that build spirit, mind and body.

Welcome to the Rye YMCA!As you leaf through our extensive program guide, I hope you will find a broad array of programs and services to support your health and well-being goals. We have worked hard to recognize the diverse needs of our members and believe that the scope of programs offered will help adults, teens and families to grow in spirit, mind and body.

With our knowledgeable, caring staff and extensive facilities, we will help you take steps toward a healthier lifestyle. We are also a community where you can connect with others, release stress, and nurture your whole self. At the Rye YMCA, our top priority is to create a place for you and your family to relax, play, and strengthen family ties.

As we approach our 100th year in Rye, the YMCA remains committed to serving the communities of Rye, Harrison, Larchmont and Mamaroneck. We are driven by community need, guided by community volunteers and open to all. I would like to thank our donors and supporters for their continuing generosity during 2009 which allowed the Rye Y to provide over $250,000 in financial assistance to individuals and families in need. We are also indebted to the many volunteers who contribute thousands of hours of their time to the YMCA. This form of philanthropy and “giving back” to the community allows the Rye Y to continue its mission of providing an open and accessible environment to all, regardless of financial circumstance.

Thank you for being a part of the YMCA and helping us to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions for your YMCA!

ages 16 & up Co-edWater exercise is safe, effective and fun for all ages and abilities, from the basic beginner to the professional athlete. Buoyancy creates a reduced impact exercise alternative that is easy on the joints, while the water’s resistance challenges the muscles. Water lends itself to a well-balanced workout that improves all major components of physical fitness; aerobic training, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and body composition. All classes are co-ed. please visit www.ryeymca.org or stop by the Member services Desk for a schedule of classes. Classes are available for all members ages 16 & up.
