Guest Policy

The Yates Family YMCA encourages adult members to bring guests that are interested in joining. Guest guidelines are as follows:

  • Due to the high volume of member activity during our peak hours, we do not allow guests to use our facility between the hours of 4:00pm and 8:00pm, unless prior arrangements have been made with a member services associate.
  • Guests must be at least 13 years old to use the lap pool (except during family swim).
  • Local guests, interested in joining, may receive a maximum of two complimentary visits per calendar year.  Additional use of the YMCA will require a membership or purchase of a guest pass.
  • All guests must sign the waiver form, and provide a picture ID that will be kept at the Member Services Desk during the visit.
  • All guests under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult member, eighteen years of age or older, unless prior arrangements are made with the Membership Director. Parents or legal guardians must sign the waiver for children under age 18.
  • Relatives and friends of members from out of town may visit for one complimentary week.
  • A.W.A.Y. Program: “Always Welcome At YMCAs” - while traveling, your membership card allows you the use of most YMCA facilities throughout the country.  Our membership services staff will be happy to help you locate the closest YMCA to your travel destination.
  • A.W.A.Y. visitors are welcome at any YMCA of Florida’s First Coast location for two complimentary weeks (14 visits).  After 14 visits, additional use of the YMCA will require a membership or purchase of a guest pass.
  • Individuals, who are not YMCA members, may purchase guest passes for $10/day or $25/week.  Family passes cost $15/day or $40/week.
