WELCOME TO THE 

MERRIMACK VALLEY YMCA 

Every day the Y’s impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, 

when a mentor inspires a child and when a community comes together for a 

common good. As a 501(3) (c) volunteer-founded, volunteer-led organization 

the intent is to foster social connectedness, strengthen support networks, and 

encourage investment in our communities which in turn serves to strengthen 

the foundations of our community. This is all done at no cost to the neighboring 

cities and towns thereby lessening the burdens of government. 

Membership dues support everyday operations. However, the Merrimack Valley 

YMCA endeavors to secure grants and conduct annual fundraising campaigns 

and events necessary to sustain all the financial assistance, charitable services 

and provide access to people of all income levels. The Merrimack Valley YMCA 

provides millions of dollars each year in essential services and financial 

assistance initiatives focused on youth development, healthy living and social 

responsibility, aligned to the unique and diverse needs of the communities it 

engages. The Y’s activities have significantly enhanced public access to fitness, 

health, educational enrichment and numerous other services; especially among 

children, the disabled, the homeless, the needs associated with an aging 

community and other at-risk populations. 

The Y is, and always will be, dedicated to building healthy, confident, connected 

and secure children, adults, families and communities. 

Access/Membership Restrictions Policy 

The protection of members and guests who are participating in programs or 

are using YMCA facilities is of paramount concern to the staff of the Merrimack 

Valley YMCA. Therefore, we reserve the right to deny access or membership to

lifestyle improvement program for adults with pre-diabetes. Its purpose 

is to empower adults with lasting lifestyle changes that will improve 

their overall health and reduce their chance of developing Type II 

diabetes. 

Currently, diabetes affects nearly 26 million people. Another 79 million 

have pre-diabetes and are at risk of developing diabetes.

like the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program reduce the number of new 

cases of diabetes by 58% overall and 71% in individuals over age 60.

readiness skills through 

fun and confidencebuilding 

experiences, 

while parents learn 

about water safety, 

drowning prevention, 

and the importance of 

supervision. 

Students learn personal water 

safety and achieve basic swimming 

competency by learning two 

benchmark skills: 

- Swim, float, swim—sequencing 

front glide, roll, back float, roll, 

front glide, and exit 

- Jump, push, turn, grab 

Having mastered the fundamentals, 

students learn additional water safety 

skills and build stroke technique, 

developing skills that prevent chronic 

disease, increase social-emotional 

and cognitive well-being, and foster a 

lifetime of physical activity. 

Students build 

confidence, 

cultivate their 

passion, and 

stay active 

through 

specialized 

tracks.
