With a twinkle in her eyes, Laura tries to hand a second bottle of spray cleaner to Cook County YMCA Director Emily Marshall, who gives a big thumbs up to the reopening of the Y. The ladies and the cleaning crew at the Cook County YMCA have the facilities looking in tip-top shape. Although the Y is now open, members have to call and reserve times to work out. The pool area will soon be open and the pool will be ready for swimmers, but call ahead to find the available times, or check out the changes that are coming on the Y’s website: info@cookcountyymca.org.

The Cook County YMCA reopened its’ doors on June 15, with some provisions during this Phase 1 stage.
If you are a regular lap swimmer, you will have to wait until July 1 to swim.
When you do visit the Y, please bring a facemask, sweat towel, locker lock and water bottles. Water fountains will only be available to fill water bottles.
Facemasks must be worn at all times unless you are performing moderate to vigorous exercise.
At this time the Y staff will not be able to lend out locks or keep your keys or belongings at the Member Service Desk. Advice to all is to keep your personal items to a minimum when attending the Y.
There will be no Kids Club or open gym during Phase 1.

During the Phase 1 reopening, the Y will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. Saturday hours are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the Y will be closed on Sundays.
Reservations can be made through the Cook County YMCA website. If you are not able to make a reservation you can contact the Y to reserve a time slot by calling 218-387-3386 extension 501.
The schedule for the Y can be viewed on the Duluth Area Family YMCA app, Cook County YMCA location.
To ensure all members are able to enjoy the facility, the Y staff asks that you limit your time to 90 minutes a day.
