Exciting new developments at Springs YMCA
T
By Laurel Robertson
he Springs YMCA is tearing down walls, and building new ones, to become the ultimate fitness and community center serving the Dripping Springs area. Renovation plans are already underway and will continue through late winter/early spring to bring upgrades, additions and changes to the present facility on Ranch Road 12, just south of Highway 290. Two new outdoor swimming pools, a bathhouse and a new Welcome Center will be added to the three existing buildings to expand program offerings and community space at the facility. Phase I, which focused primarily on construction of new parking areas and the installation of new utility lines, was completed in June. Phase II is currently underway with the construction of a new building that will connect the three
existing buildings and serve as a main entrance/Welcome Center and extended workout space. Its back-to-back glass walls will give a view from the new parking area onto the two new outdoor swimming pools A 25-meter competition lap pool will be heated and open all year long, with eight lanes dedicated to lap swimming. Next to it, a family pool will be open seasonally to offer interactive fun for all ages, with a large percentage of “zero entrance” (wade-in) access and splashpadlike features. The existing indoor pool will still be available throughout the year for water fitness classes and lap swimming. A new bathhouse opening onto the two new pools will house shower facilities and lockers. The existing building housing the See SPRINGS YMCA, page 2
