What’s Happening at Southwest Family Y in February 2026

Ages 5-12 | 7am to 6pm | $60 per day

Spring Break is coming up fast—do you have a plan? Our Spring Break Camp (March 16–20) offers a full week of fun with games, crafts, and high-energy activities that keep kids active and engaged while school is out. Let us handle the fun while you enjoy peace of mind.

Ready to take your swimming to the next level? 🏊‍♂️ Our Swim Team is a great way for kids to build confidence, improve technique, and have a blast with teammates in the pool. 

Swim Team prerequisites: swimmers should be able to swim 25 yards freestyle with side breathing, 25 yards backstroke, and have some familiarity with breaststroke and butterfly. 

Think your swimmer is ready? Reach out to Southwest.Aquatics@austinymca.org to set up a tryout! 

Spring is here and it’s time to run, jump, spike, kick, and score! Our Spring Volleyball and Soccer programs are packed with energy, laughter, and non-stop action. Whether your child is learning their first pass or showing off their skills, they’ll have a blast building confidence, making friends, and playing as a team. All skill levels welcome—just bring the smiles and the excitement. 

Unleash your strength in our Women with Weights small group class. Discover the transformative benefits of barbell-centric workouts, as you learn proper techniques in a supportive environment.

Parking at the Program Center just east of the building will be closed all day February 16th-17th, to accommodate children participating in School Day Out camps.

Members are welcome to park in the lots in front of and behind the building, as well as in the gravel lot west of the building across Oakclaire Dr.

We appreciate your flexibility as we make space for our campers’ activities and ensure a safe & fun experience for them. Thanks for understanding, and for being part of our YMCA community.

For the safety of our members and staff, all emergency exit doors throughout the facility are now alarmed. 

Please ensure you are using the front entrance only when entering and exiting the building. Emergency exits should be used only in the event of an emergency. 

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us maintain a safe environment for everyone. 

To help keep all members safe and ensure kids are using age‑appropriate equipment, we are introducing youth wristbands on the fitness floor. 

Orange Wristbands (Ages 8–11)
Must have direct parent/guardian supervision at all times. Access is limited to the indoor track, and cardio equipment. 

Black Wristbands (Ages 12-15)
May have access to fitness floor without parent/guardian supervision once they have completed the required Youth/Teen Fitness Orientation and have a signed waiver on file. 

Thank you for helping us create a safer, more supportive fitness environment for our youth!
