About Us

Farmington Valley traces its origins back to 1918 when it was part of the County YMCA. It provided a multitude of programs not available, especially to young people, by the then poor rural town governments. It was a classic “YMCA without walls” providing opportunities in borrowed or rented facilities. The YMCA of Greater Hartford purchased the former Swim Center One in Granby in January, 2001, and built a new state of the art 70,000 square foot facility with 2 pools, a gymnasium, a climbing wall, group fitness studio, Family Activity center, 2 babysitting rooms, a community room and much more! Farmington Valley YMCA continues to serve 14,000 members throughout Farmington Valley.
