Pool
Our state-of-the-art natatorium boasts a 6 lane, 25 yard competition pool, 1 meter diving board, and large whirlpool. Home to both the David YMCA Phantoms and the Jackson High School Polar Bears swim teams, we utilize the very best sanitation equipment to ensure you a comfortable experience at our facility--whether you are training to take home the gold, or enjoying a relaxing swim.
At the David YMCA, we pride ourselves on offering the very best aquatic instruction available. We employ top-quality instructors and train them extensively. If you are an adult wishing to learn to swim for the first time, or have children who want to learn, we have a program for you. Please visit our program page for a complete list of available programs. Also, be sure to register online! Follow the link to the left to begin your aquatic instruction!
Open Swim Policy
Our swim policy is designed to keep you and your children safe. Please be sure to carefully review all aquatic policies to ensure the very best experience at our pool. Please click here to review our Open Swim Policies.
Deep Water Test
The deep water test is required for all children ages 6 to 14. Child must be able to swim one length (25 yards) front crawl with face in the water, using rotary breathing and above water arm recovery. Must also tread water for 30 seconds and float on back for 10 seconds.
Deep water testing can only be administered at specific times. However, once your child passes the test, that information is stored in our computer, and you will not need to take the test at another of our branches, nor will you need to renew the test each year. Please stop by the front desk for a list of available Deep Water Testing times, or join us every Saturday at noon.
Whirlpool
Our whirlpool is nestled comfortably in the corner of the Polar Bear Natatorium. Members 18 years old and older may enjoy a relaxing time in 104 degree water. We encourage you to utilize the relaxing powers of our whirlpool, but we do ask that you limit your use to 15 minutes at a time.
Hours
The pool and whirlpool open 15 minutes after the building, and close 15 minutes before the building. Please be aware that we occasionally must close the whirlpool, or there may be certain times the pool is unavailable for open swim. Be sure to review our Pool Schedule to find the best time to enjoy our facility.
