Update, Wednesday, May 25, 2022
We are so happy to continue to serve you in our renovated facility and we continue to work towards opening the pool following some unforeseen setbacks during the repairs and revitalization of the space. Here is our most recent update:
We apologize for the extended delay. We are still awaiting an electrical controller part to begin filtration, chemical calibration and heating. Turning on the filtration of the pool will confirm for us that all pool parts are in good working order. After we achieve this reopening milestone of filtration, chemical calibration and heating - we will be inspected by the township. It has also been determined that the interior pool ceiling needs to be repainted.
At this time, our projected opening date is mid July 2022.
We kindly ask members to watch for our next update on Wednesday, June 29. In the meantime, all members are welcome to visit our membership branches with pools including Warminster, Deer Path (located in Flemington, NJ), Doylestown and Quakertown.
For our swim lesson participants:
- June draft will be canceled for all registered participants; you will see no financial impact to your household
- New accelerated swim classes will be offered at our Holland Outdoor Center starting June 13. A class schedule and registration information for these programs will be available on our website next Wednesday, June 1.
For all members, alternative pool usage is as follows:
- We are working to secure hours for morning open swim at the Pennsbury High School Pool starting Monday, June 20 for YMCA members. Details of this schedule will be released next week on our website.
- Holland Outdoor Center Pool will be open on Saturdays & Sundays starting June 18

Update: April 8, 2022
We are currently awaiting the delivery of a pool pump. Upon receipt of the pool pump and associated electrical requirements for installation, we will begin filling the pool. Until the delivery of the pool pump and associated electric requirements are complete, we, unfortunately, cannot provide a date of opening. We can assure you that once we have the delivery of the pool pump and electric installation complete, we will begin to fill, heat, and chemically treat the pool right away.
We kindly ask all members to check back again on Monday, 4/18 after the Easter holiday for our next pool update. In the meantime, all members are welcome to visit our membership branches with pools including Warminster, Deer Path (located in Flemington, NJ), Doylestown and Quakertown.
Update: March 30
Dear Valued Members and Community:
We are thrilled to fully open our doors on Thursday, April 14, as we celebrate the grand opening of the Fairless Hills branch. Right now, we are placing the finishing touches on building, and as you can see from the construction photos on social media, membership will be a transformational experience. Thank you for standing by us.
We know there have been many questions regarding the pool and its unique opening time frame. The pool will not open with the rest of the facility on April 14. On Friday, April 8, we anticipate having an update on when the pool will open.
The delay of the pool opening is due to some unforeseen setbacks during the repairs and revitalization of the space. Please allow us to share with you now:
