Our Code of Conduct does not permit any language or action that can hurt or frighten another person, or that falls below a generally accepted standard of conduct. Specifically, this includes:
If a member or guest feels uncomfortable in confronting the person directly, they should report the behavior to a staff person. Members and guest should not hesitate to notify a staff person if assistance is needed. In order to carry out these polices, we ask that members and guest identify themselves when asked. The Executive Director will investigate all reported incidents. Suspension or termination of YMCA membership privileges may result from a determination by the Executive Director if, in his/her discretion, a violation of the Code of Conduct has occurred.
Certain areas of the YMCA facility are restricted to use by specific age groups or restricted by specific supervision guidelines – such as the Fitness Center/Aerobic Room. YMCA rules are designed to ensure the safety of all members.
The rules for the gymnasium are posted on the wall between the two entrances to the gym. Pool/ Whirlpool rules are posted on the walls in the Pool. Fitness Center rules and appropriate dress attire are listed on the wall beteen the TV's in the weight lifting area. No one under the age of 16 is permitted in the Fitness Center or Aerobics Room. Completion of the Iron Teens program allows youth ages 12-15 early access to these locations.

If services are not available, the adult must supervise the child in a youth-appropriate area. Those over the age of ten (10) can be in the building without the direct supervision of an adult. The youth however, must know the location of an adult or guardian and be able to contact that person in the event of an emergency.
The YMCA can suspend or revoke the membership rights of a youth if inappropriate behavior is displayed. No youth under the age of 13 is allowed on the track without a supervising adult. No youth under the age of 16 is allowed in the Fitness Center unless he/she has completed or is in the process of completing our certified YMCA Iron Teen Training program.
