Valuables
Members and guests of the Greater Decatur Y are responsible for the security and safekeeping of their own valuables. The Greater Decatur Y cannot be responsible for lost or stolen articles. Please bring your own padlock for lockers or purchase one at the Courtesy Desk. Coin-operated lockers for valuables are provided in the vestibule outside the Wellness Center. A Lost & Found is established to help return lost items to their owners.

The
Greater Decatur Y is committed to serving the entire community. Through
the assistance of generous individuals and the United Way, we attempt
to provide assistance to those who have an inability to pay full membership.
Contact the Courtesy Desk for application forms. Because of limited
resources, we may limit financial assistance at any time.
Please

program.

A photo ID is required for each Guest Pass sold and only three (3) passes may be purchased in a one-year period. Guest Pass fees may be applied to a membership within 30 days of purchase. The Greater Decatur Y reserves the right to restrict or discontinue Guest Passes at any time. Please call ahead if you intend to purchase a Guest Pass to assure we are accepting guests.
A.W.A.Y. Program
Members of the Greater Decatur Y are welcome at more than 1,000 YMCA's or YWCA's and receive access to facilities free or at no more than half the Guest Pass rate. Consult the Courtesy Desk for details if you will be traveling outside of Decatur and wish to visit Y's in other communities.
The Greater Decatur Y honors current memberships from most other YMCAs and YWCAs. Those YMCAs which do not honor Decatur YMCA memberships will be excluded.
Punch
Cards
The
Decatur Family YMCA offers several options for class registration
to both Y Members and Prospective Members.
Member Group Exercise Punch Cards are available to
those Members who choose to attend "paid" classes without
registering for the entire session. Preference will be given to those
who register for the entire session and if class room is available,
those Members who have purchased a Member Group Exercise Punch Card
may com in and participate. Cost for cards is $19.50 for 7 classes
or $39 for 17 classes. Please present the punch card to the instructor
prior to the class.
Prospective Member Punch Cards
are available to those who plan to attend either Aquatic or Land Exercise
Classes without becoming Members. Cost for Prospective Member Punch
Cars is $75 for 10 visits.
Racquetball Court Reservation Punch Cards are available
for Members who play racquetball and occasionally wish to make court
reservations. Cost is $10 for 10 reservations (this is a savings of
$2 per registration over the single-time reservation fee of $3). Reservations
may be made by stopping by the Courtesy Desk or calling 872-9622.
For those who reserves several court-hours each week, we offer an
annual reservation pass at a fee of $55 per year. For more information,
email Gene or call
872-3835 ext.146.
YMCA
Dress Code
The
YMCA seeks to model and encourage behavior that fits with our Character
Development Initiative. We model and encourage: CARING, HONESTY, RESPECT
and RESPONSIBILITY throughout the facility. To that end, we would
hope that the dress and behavior of staff members and participants
would reflect those values. Dress that is offensive or overly revealing
does not help to uphold the Mission of the YMCA. Staff members and
participants are asked to dress in a manner that will not cause offense
to others. Some type of shirt or top should be worn at all times.
(The exception being in the gym when "skins vs. shirts"
basketball games are played.)
A
swimsuit is required in the pool. Cut-offs and shirts are not allowed
and no shoes are allowed on deck. Please refrain from wearing swimsuits
in all other areas of the facility. Shoes are required in all areas
of the YMCA except the pool area and locker rooms.

Attention
Members:
We care

unoccupied or unassigned lockers, and in lost and found, will be discarded
after a period of 30 days. Please be sure you check
all your belongings and not leave them at the Y. They will be kept
here for retrieval by the owner for that 30 day period.
If the items are not claimed they will be disposed of properly and
caringly. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
