All across Richmond, second graders are learning how to swim—during the school day. Through Learn to Swim programs, students are not only taught water safety in the classroom, but they also get to experience it firsthand in the pool.
This isn’t just about swimming—it’s about equity, access, and giving every child the chance to feel safe and confident around water. We’re incredibly grateful to the school systems that prioritize this essential life skill and make it part of their curriculum.
Thank you for helping build a safer, stronger Richmond—one swimmer at a time.

Service Day has been re-scheduled!

For more than 20 years, the John Rolfe Family YMCA has been a welcoming space for community, connection and well-being. Originally opened to help accommodate the growth of the Tuckahoe Y, John Rolfe quickly became a beloved part of our YMCA family.

After being unable to reach a sustainable lease agreement for the John Rolfe Y facility, we have made the difficult decision to close the John Rolfe Family YMCA effective October 31, 2025. With the recent renovation and expansion of the Tuckahoe Family YMCA, along with equipment upgrades at many other branches across our association, we remain committed to providing welcoming spaces and meaningful programs for you and your family.

While this chapter is ending, the Y community you know and love remains strong. We are committed to supporting you during this transition and ensuring you continue to have access to the programs, services and relationships that help you and your family thrive.
