You may remove your mask only when swimming or working out. Thanks for helping to keep our Y open! The governor's executive order is being challenged, and with this ever-changing situation, please call the Y for any modifications to this requirement, or just come with your mask.
The OWENSBORO FAMILY YMCA is excited to expand our services. Health and safety remain our top priorities, please see updates below; we highlighted the newest information.

New Check in Procedures/Health Screening
Each member will be asked 3 health screening questions. Members will use our no-touch scanner to check in and check out. It is imperative to check out, because this is how we monitor our government regulated capacity. Members are expected to stay home if they have any of the following signs or symptoms of possible COVID-19 and will be asked to leave if signs are verbally confirmed or visibly seen:
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Chills/Repeated shaking with chills
Muscle pain
Headache
Sore throat
Loss of taste or smell
Diarrhea
Feeling feverish or a measured temperature greater than or equal to 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit
Known close contact with a person who is lab confirmed to have COVID-19 or if they have symptoms of illness.
Face Masks
It is strongly recommended that members wear masks that cover the nose and mouth, except when lap swimming. The YMCA will not be able to supply masks.
Social Distancing/Protocols
YMCA members are expected to maintain and encourage social distancing (6 feet of separation) while working out. We are taking intentional steps during reopening to facilitate social distancing including lowered facility capacities, room/area capacities, spacing equipment and providing reminders throughout the facility. Time limits of 30-minutes per piece of equipment are recommended.
Locker Rooms
Men's and Women's fitness locker rooms will be limited to just those who rent lockers, and staff will unlock the main doors for you to enter. We will ask members who do not rent a locker to bring their own locks if they wish to have one; we will not be checking locks out. Locks cannot be left on lockers overnight. Members who do not rent lockers will be required to use the regular locker rooms. Locker rentals are available for $5/month.
Bringing Items Into the Y/Disinfecting
We encourage you to bring your own water bottle; water fountains will be restricted to "filling only" options. Cleaning and disinfection protocols will be stringent; each member will be asked to use a virus-killing disinfectant bottle (available on bench in wellness area) for the duration of their visit so that we are not cross contaminating. When finished, please deposit in the labeled bins so staff can sanitize the bottle. Paper towels and hand sanitizer will be available throughout the facility.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but towel service will be permanently discontinued.
For your safety, please wipe equipment down before and after use.
Hand Hygiene
