We have launched a $3.5 Million Capital Campaign to expand and modernize aquatic facilities across the Mississippi Gulf Coast – ensuring every child, family and community partner has a safe, high-quality place to learn, swim and thrive.

INVEST IN THE Y TODAY

Why the Y’s Safety Around Water Capital Campaign Matters

Preventing Drownings: Our coastal waters are beautiful but dangerous. Education and access saves lives.

Strengthening Community Partnerships: Schools, industries, and first responders count on us for training and preparedness.

Building Equity: No child or family will be turned away from learning to swim due to economic circumstances.

The Urgent Need

Agent Facilities at Breaking Point: Our current pools face significant deferred maintenance and cannot meet the growing demand for aquatic programs.

Safety & Training for Our Community: First responders, schools, and local ship-building industry partners rely on our pools for essential safety protocols and certifications.

Equity & Access: Too many children and families lack access to life-saving swim instruction and water safety programs due to cost or capacity limitations.
