Mankato Family YMCA
Celebrating 150 years
Since our founding in 1873, the Mankato Family YMCA has been a cornerstone of community spirit, health, and togetherness. This year, we are overjoyed to celebrate our 150th anniversary, marking a century and a half of empowering individuals, families, and communities to thrive.

Building Healthy Spirits, Minds, and Bodies for All
With the Y, you’re not just a member of a facility, you’re part of a cause. With a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, improving health and well-being, and giving back and supporting our neighbors, your membership will not just bring about meaningful change in yourself, but also in your community.

Aquatics
The Y offers a wide range of swimming options for the whole family, including swim lessons for everyone from infants to adults, water aerobics exercise classes, and competitive swim team. You’ll also find traditional open swim and lap swim times available. At the Y, swimming is positive, fun activity that builds healthy habits, family connection and even life-saving skills.
Health & Fitness
At the Mankato Family YMCA, we know that fitness involves more than working out.
It’s about making good choices to live well inside and out. You’re not only supported by staff, but you’re also part of a community that helps you be your best self at every age.
Whether you’re looking to lose weight, get stronger, eat healthier, fight disease, improve your energy, or lower stress, we have the people and programs in place to help.
ForeverWell
Get active, Stay Fit, Be Social
At Mankato Family YMCA, we believe that age is just a number, and our ForeverWell program is designed to celebrate the vitality of our active older adults. Join us on a journey of wellness, camaraderie, and a zest for life with our engaging program activities.
ForeverWell has activities for the mind, body and spirit, both indoor and outdoor. The program promotes a healthy lifestyle, social well-being and can alleviate boredom and isolation. Join in one of our many activities today!
Sports & Rec preschool through school age
The YMCA offers tons of ways to stay active beyond typical workout routines.
Here, sports and recreational activities are something special. With friendly competition, lots of variety and a supportive environment, you’ll have fun while improving your health.
When kids play Y-Sports, they develop more than just skills—they develop character. Instructors and coaches model fairness and hard work while emphasizing teamwork, cooperation, and developing good values in this non-competitive program. Our volunteer coaches recognize achievements large and small and understand that winning is not just about the score. By playing sports, kids and their families feel a sense of belonging that comes from a community gathering together to cheer on their team. Everyone plays, and everyone wins!
