Guests at the YMCA – YMCA of Easley, Pickens and Powdersville

GUESTS AT THE YMCA Updated: December 2, 2024

The YMCA of Easley, Pickens & Powdersville is a membership organization and our first priority is to serve our members who have made a commitment to the YMCA by joining as members. The primary purpose behind our guest policy is to enhance service to current members who are encouraging a friend to join and when needed, make reasonable accommodations for out-of-town family and visitors.

GENERAL BRANCH GUEST POLICY & FEES

Day Pass: For a guest age 5 and older, a day pass can be purchased for $15.
For age 15 & Up, the day pass can only be purchased one time per calendar year and only one pass for all three 3 branches – Easley, Pickens and Powdersville Y.
Guests must be accompanied by a member.
Identification is required if age 18 or older.
If guests are 15 to 17 years old, a parent or legal guardian must be present to sign the YMCA waiver before entry.
If guests are 14 or younger, a supervising adult age 21 or older must accompany the minor at all times.
Individuals on the Sex Offender Registry may not visit the YMCA as a guest.
The YMCA has the right to immediately restrict or revoke access of individuals for any reason.
There is a maximum of 2 guests, per member, per visit.
Guests with children age 4 and under do not have to pay the guest fee for that child.

GUEST CHILDWATCH

Guests are welcome in YMCA Childwatch.
Please allow extra time so that each child may be entered into our secure check-in system. This can take 5-20 minutes depending on how busy each branch is at the time.
All other Childwatch rules apply to guests, the same as members.

RESTRICTIONS/EXCLUSIONS

Some branches may have restrictions on guest access due to heavy member usage of that branch or space. Each branch has full authority to set those limitations. We recommend contacting each branch before you arrive with your guest to see if any restrictions are in place but please know that each branch will make decisions on guest restrictions in real time. There are no guarantees that the branch will be available to guests. Examples of areas that may be closed to guests due to overcrowding are the swimming pools during open swim time, the basketball gym during pick-up games, Childwatch is at or close to capacity, a popular group wellness class is taking place or during special events hosted at the YMCA.

We know that there are always unique and special circumstances that may arise from time to time for our members. Please contact your branch leadership 3-5 days in advance so that they can better understand your circumstances and needs. Please complete this form to request special access for your guests.

Examples of unique or special circumstances:

Grandchildren visiting during the summer for an extended period of time.
Out of town friends or family that are visiting for a short period of time.
Family members that have a nanny.
Caring for another family’s children in time of crisis.
