Dear YWCA St. Paul Health & Fitness Center Community,
We are excited to announce that the pool will re-open on August 3, as part of a modified Phase 2 re-opening. We will inform you of the dates for Phase 3 and 4 re-openings as soon as plans are available.
The following are the new protocols for the pool and upper locker rooms re-opening:
Pool Hours:
- Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 6:50 p.m.

Locker Rooms
- At this time, upper locker rooms are only for use by swimmers.
- Locker availability is based on social distancing guidelines.
- Available lockers will be open at the beginning of the reservation time.
- Lockers that are not available are closed with a string.
- You may bring a padlock to lock up items. Please make sure to take your items and padlock when you are finished swimming for the day.
- Masks must be worn in locker rooms (except in showers).
Reservations are now required to use the pool. There is a 50-minute time limit which includes swim and locker room time. To allow for cleaning in between reservations in the pool area and locker rooms, we ask that you respect the time limit.
