Downtown

Virtual Y & Mobile App

A national shortage of certified lifeguards and swimming instructors have prompted us to make some slight modifications to our pool schedule and swimming lesson program at all Y locations. Please check your local Y location for the most up-to-date schedules. Swimming lessons have been postponed; please check with your Y location beginning Oct. 1 for an updated schedule.

The Downtown YMCA, located in the heart of Erie’s vibrant Renaissance District, welcomes members and program participants to its restored historic facility. We have been serving the region since 1910 through programs that nurture the potential of kids, improve the health of our community and support and give back to our neighbors. We are most well known in the community for social service outreach to Veterans and Teens as well as NAYEC accredited quality early learning and school age enrichment programs.
