This lap swimming challenge is conducted at your own pace and in the Westfield Aquatics Center. Simply keep track of the laps you swim during each workout and record your mileage on the tracking sheet.

Introducing First Fridays at the Y, a monthly gathering of community, creativity, and movement. Held on the first Friday of each month from 5:00 to 7:30 pm, First Friday offers a chance to connect and discover something new about the Y and each other.

Each month, we’ll offer a rotating lineup of engaging activities for each of these categories:

•  PLAY: Enjoy family-friendly games or sports that bring out joy and laughter.
•  MOVE: Get active with a featured group exercise class or physical activity.
•  CONNECT: Build connections through conversation prompts that inspire meaningful discussions.
•  CREATE: Unleash your creativity together with projects like painting or crochet.
•  We will also CELEBRATE the birthdays for that month (ex: print/display their names in the lobby somewhere, along with a photo station and/or birthday wish board)

First Fridays are designed to foster Belonging, Relationships & Achievement —the heart of what makes the Y special…whether it’s a First Friday or any day of the week!
