Testimonials

We are parents of 2 young children, 7-year-old daughter and 4 year-old son. My husband and I both work full time. I do not know what we would have done without the YMCA thru these times. The Y allowed us to drop off our kids with complete peace of mind. They went over and above to make sure that our kids were in a clean safe environment. They set up an amazing distance learning center and did their very best to help our kids with their zoom meetings and daily schoolwork while having fun! I feel like the semi classroom environment allowed for them to have more focus than when they were at home. I will be forever grateful to the YMCA and their AMAZING loving, kind, and caring staff. Thank you for your help, and your kindness, thank you for putting yourselves out there for our kids and for us parents who really needed you guys, and most of all thank you for allowing our kids to have normality in this not so normal world right now. Sincerely, Jessica H.

"The Prescott YMCA has stepped up to save the swimming community here in Prescott and the surrounding towns.
Swimming is a way of life for many in our little corner of the world. We use swimming to stay healthy, both physically and mentally. We are happiest when we get our daily swim, visiting with like-minded individuals. The pool is our 'happy place'.
I am indebted to the YMCA for stepping up and opening the pool as soon as the CDC said it was safe to do so. We are eternally grateful for letting us have our little slice of normalcy during this stressful time.
Thank you!!! Brigid B.
