The Northern York County Family YMCA’s 21,000 square-foot facility is located on a wooded 26 acre property on Alfred Street in Biddeford and includes the following amenities:

6-Lane Lap Pool & Diving Board

One of our branch’s most popular features is the 25-yard, 6-lane swimming pool complete with a professional 1-meter diving board. This pool hosts our youth and private swimming lessons, aquatic fitness classes, lifeguard training program and more. In addition, our pool is the home base for swim teams from Thornton Academy, Biddeford and Kennebunk High School, Middle School of the Kennebunks, a Maine Master’s Swim Club and our very own Manta Rays club team.

Therapeutic & Leisure Pool

At a comfortable 3 and a half feet deep and with a temperature near 90 degrees, our second pool is perfect for our younger swimmers, families and those with joint, back or muscle pain.

Cardio & Free Weight Rooms

Our cardio room is filled to the brim with Cybex circuit strength training machines, treadmills, elliptical machines, recumbent bikes and stair climbing machines.

The Northern York County Family YMCA free weight room is a traditional weight room stocked with a full range of dumbbells, bars, benches, cable weight systems, medicine balls and more.

Fitness and Aerobics Room

All week long our certified instructors provide a dedicated venue for group exercise programs including Zumba, Pilates, yoga, cycling, step aerobics, creative movement and several “boot camp” style classes.

Lockers, Showers & Saunas

Large men’s and women’s locker rooms include saunas, showers, changing areas and locker space. Bring your own lock or borrow one from our front desk! Families have the option of using our two family changing rooms and an open shower installed right on the pool deck.
