Four area Y’s have planned a week’s worth of fun for local youngsters on spring break (March 18-22 for Knox County Schools).

“Why road trip when your Y is just down the street with pools, gyms, kids’ activities and classes for the whole family all week long? Best of all, if you’re not a member, join during spring break, and we’ll waive our regular join fee,” said Bekah Grace, senior program director at the West Side Family Y.

She suggests families join the Y location closest to home, or try a few different Y’s throughout the week. “Regardless of which location you join, Y members have unlimited access to all the Y’s in Knoxville as well as nationwide membership any time you travel.”

Local Y’s offer classes for kids like PowerUp Fitness and AquaFit year-round, but during spring break the Y instructors in select classes are planning family-friendly workout routines.

The West Side Y will launch festivities with an Open House and Pool Party Luau from 2-4 p.m. Sunday, March 17.
