Community

We are blessed to have our partnership with the Fremont YMCA which offers our athletes a chance to improve their physical fitness and wellness with access to the best facilities around.  Right now there are nearly 65 athletes that compete in a number of sports.  On the Fremont Family YMCA campus, our athletes get to practice on the indoor tennis courts when the weather is bad and get their competitive swimming laps in the only Olympic-sized pool in the area.  Additionally, we utilize the basketball courts during the basketball season to work on our team skills and 5 on 5 teamwork.  For over 10 years now, the Fremont YMCA has hosted the East Region basketball championships in late February. In the spring we work on volleyball to get ready for our competitions in April/May.  The scholarship program that our athletes can take advantage of also allows our flag football, golf, and track athletes access to weight and cardio machines plus free weights to improve their strength, stamina, and flexibility in order to be the best athlete they can be.

The Fremont Family YMCA is blessed to be a partner with the Fremont Area United Way.  The United Way is a nonprofit organization that works in a coalition of charitable organizations to pool efforts in fundraising and support.  Visit fremontunitedway.org for more information!

The YMCA is providing every first grader in the Fremont Public School system with the opportunity to learn to swim as part of their physical education. Through the generosity of the YMCA, we cover the cost of instructors and provide swimsuits for children who don't have one. At the end of the program, each child also receives a towel. Last year, over 350 children participated in this initiative.

The YMCA believes it is crucial for every child to learn how to swim. In the United States, drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury death among children aged 1–14 years.

Each year, the Fremont Family YMCA participates in the BIG GIVE.  The BIG GIVE is an online day of giving, hosted by the Fremont Area Community Foundation.
