McGaw YMCA offers lap swim and recreational group swim in its 4-lane and 6-lane pools, plus Aqua Fitness classes (mcgawymca.org/programs/swim/) -- open to all members, not senior-specific.

McGaw YMCA runs open pickleball on six indoor courts, with beginner, intermediate, and drill areas set aside during weekday mornings plus additional open-play windows on weekday afternoons, two weeknight evenings, and weekends. Open play is for members only, with equipment provided. The Y also lists Active Older Adults programming under its Health & Fitness section, though the specific classes and schedule weren't published on their site when we checked — call ahead to ask what's currently running.
