History
YMCA, 106 Lakeside Dr, Union, SC (864) 427-0668
The Union County YMCA was originally incorporated in 1987 and operated in
a small storefront space on Main St. in Union. In March 1994, the Union
County YMCA was chartered as a YMCA by the YMCA of the USA. Upon being chartered,
a partnership with the City of Union was created which included moving into
a building that was formerly part of the Union High School campus on Main
St. In 1995, the City of Union recognizing a need for a community swimming
pool for the residents and affordable access to athletic and recreational
activities made drastic renovations to the facility. The renovations included
the addition of a swimming pool with five lanes for lap swimming and a zero
entry area splash pad. The interior of the building was completely reworked
with plumbing, electrical, and lighting to accommodate the needs of a facility
that serves the community of all ages and needs. The facility remains in
this state today with the exception of minor cosmetic enhancements.
