A PLACE FOR ALL


For the Sylvester family, the YMCA has become a place for the whole family. From swimming and working out to enjoying quality time together, the family loves having a place where they can stay active, connect and grow. Their son’s goal to get stronger for sports inspired the family to join—and they’re so glad they did.
