Do you have to be a member there just to go swimming and does it cost

You may come into the Y for a free guest pass to try out the pool and swim. You may utilize two free guest passes per year, or a 7-day free pass to utilize the facility. If you would like unlimited access to pools across the Gateway Region, you do have to be a member of the Y. You may learn more or sign up for a guest pass online here: http://bit.ly/2WVRKCI

Yes you do have to be a member & it does cost, unless you are on a Medicare plan that includes it.
