Bainbridge, GA– The Bainbridge Family YMCA is thrilled to announce that its newly renovated pool is now open, following the successful completion of the first round of improvements. This milestone marks a significant step forward in enhancing community health and wellness, made possible through the generosity of the Fogg Foundation and heartfelt gifts made in memory of Scott McStay.

A Community-Backed, Mission-Driven Milestone

The YMCA’s pool has long been a gathering place for children and families, supporting youth swim lessons, water safety programs, swim team practices, and family recreation. Thanks to the Fogg Foundation’s invaluable support, the new upgrades have created a more welcoming, modern, and safety aquatic environment—setting the stage for lifelong memories and healthier lifestyles.
