At the YMCA of Metro Denver, the safety and well-being of every child, family and guest is our top priority. As part of our ongoing commitment to youth protection and community trust, we are implementing a new Spectator Pass Policy for non-members at all of our YMCA of Metro Denver wellness centers.
This policy aligns with national best practices in child safety and supports standards required for Praesidium Accreditation, a leading benchmark in child abuse prevention.
All non-members visiting Denver YMCA facilities must:
Secure a Spectator Pass — online or at the Front Desk. There is no charge for the Spectator Pass. Spectator Passes are valid for one year. Click your location below to purchase.
Upon securing a Spectator Pass, spectators will be prompted to sign a waiver of liability.
On the first visit, they will be asked to present a valid photo ID at the Front Desk and also get their photo taken.
For every visit to the Y going forward, they are expected to check in and out of the facility. (More details below.)
Like members and participants, spectators must follow the Denver YMCA’s Code of Conduct and all posted policies.
Checking in and out at the YMCA
All non-members visiting on an ongoing basis (youth sports practices and games; swim lessons, etc.) will be asked to check in and out.
Check in/out is simple with the YMCA Mobile App. First-time users:
