Financial Assistance
At the Old Town Orono YMCA, we believe everyone should have access to our programs and services. Thanks to the generous donors in our community, our financial assistance program ensures that cost is not a barrier. Whether you’re interested in memberships, child care, or other programs, we’re here to support you and your family.
No matter your age, swimming is a lifetime activity. Whether you’re looking for a fun summer family activity, a way to get healthy, a chance to compete on a team, or to learn a life-saving skill, the Y has something for everyone. Swimming teaches confidence, endurance, determination, teamwork, and more. We prioritize your safety, with all YMCA aquatics programs conducted under the supervision of certified lifeguards and trained swim instructors.

Swimming offers a full-body workout that improves cardiovascular health, builds muscle strength, and enhances flexibility — all while being easy on your joints.
