Waukee YMCA Aquatic Center to Close July 1-8

Waukee YMCA members looking for a place to cool off the week of July 1 will have to look elsewhere for relief. 

The aquatic center at the Waukee Family YMCA will be closed for cleaning and maintenance beginning July 1. It will reopen July 9.

Guests of the Waukee Family YMCA are encouraged to use other area YMCA aquatic centers during the pool's downtime. Schedules for the other area Y pools can be found at www.dmymca.org.
