Westlake Village, Calif.—The indoor pools at YMCAs in Simi Valley and Westlake Village are now open.
The Simi Valley Family YMCA and Yarrow Family YMCA pools have been closed since last March. Both YMCAs are now offering aquatic group classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Lap lanes are open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. at the Simi Y and 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at the Yarrow Y.
“We hope to expand classes and hours in the coming weeks,” says Brigitte Bonafant, Aquatics and Safety Director at the YMCA . “If all goes well, we anticipate swim lessons and family swim time being available in early May.”
Swimmers must be 18 or older and bring their own towels. Locker rooms and showers are not available. Each swimmer will go through a health screening prior to entering the building and must wear face coverings when not in the pool.
Online reservations are required. For more information on membership, class times, lap pool availability and how to download a reservations app, go to https://virtual.sevymca.org/pool-information.
