Open Lap Swimming for Adults & Teens

Open Lap Swimming is a drop-in program for YMCA of the East Bay members ages 13 and older. Proper lane etiquette must be followed at all times. Lifeguards have the authority and responsibility to manage the pool, and all members are expected to follow their instructions.
