The Y needs you and your membership now even more than ever.

At the Soundview Family YMCA, the safety and well-being of our members, volunteers, staff and our broader community have always been our top priority.
We have been diligently monitoring all national and local updates surrounding the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation. In order to best ensure the health of our entire Y community, we are following Governor Lamont’s order to temporarily close the Soundview Family YMCA, 628 East Main Street, Branford, CT 06405 to the public effective March 16, 2020.
During this closure, you can expect regular updates from us via email, on our website and in social media channels: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SoundviewFamilyYMCA/?ref=bookmarks https://cccymca.org/locations/soundview/
We are asking everyone to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and take their own measures to protect themselves, including not putting themselves in situations with large crowds or where they come in close contact with others, staying home if they do not feel well, frequently washing their hands with soap and water, and covering their coughs and sneezes.
We will continue to work with the health department and local physicians to determine what other actions, if any, would be prudent on our part and when it will be safe to reopen our facilities.
Thank you for understanding as we navigate this evolving and challenging situation.
