Charlestown YMCA
About
The Charlestown YMCA is a neighborhood branch of the YMCA of Greater Boston offering fitness, swimming and youth programs. Members can reserve spots in group classes such as HIIT, Zumba, yoga, barre and Pilates, take water fitness classes, or play pickleball. The pool supports lap swim, family swim and swim lessons, so the branch covers adult workouts and kids’ activities in one building.
Youth programs are a major focus. Swim lessons for ages 6 to 12 move children through six stages, building floating skills, stroke technique and endurance with trained instructors. Youth sports cover basketball, soccer, volleyball and gymnastics, emphasizing teamwork and sportsmanship. Bridgette Ridlon serves as executive director, with dedicated directors for membership, healthy living and aquatics, and the branch has its own Charlestown Advisory Board.
