Boroughs Y to expand – YMCA of Central Massachusetts

Westborough – Following a particularly successful summer camp season, the Boroughs Family Branch YMCA in Westborough is set for an approximately $4 million construction project including a two-story addition and a new outdoor aquatics center. The facility’s six-lane indoor swimming pool has been popular since the Boroughs Y opened in November 2002, noted Betsy Moquin, the director of marketing and advancement.

“The pool is really one of the hubs here at the Y that gets the most use,” she said. “Depending upon the season, we have anywhere from 1,100 to 1,300 kids a week in youth swim lessons. That doesn’t count adult lessons, water aerobics classes, lap swims and family swims. For a long time, staff observations and members’ comments have been that we need another pool.”

A $4 million construction project that includes a new aquatics center and a two-story addition will begin soon at the Boroughs Family Branch YMCA in Westborough.

Betsy Moquin, director of marketing and advancement, noted to the Community Advocate that the indoor swimming pool has been popular since it opened in 2002.

Since it is the “hub” and gets the most use at the club, the aquatics program is one that will be expanded upon. The construction project’s facets are the result of a survey conducted among Y members, where responders suggested the second pool outdoors.

The summer camp season was the busiest ever, making the timing of the project ideal, reported the Community Advocate.

The addition will expand the multipurpose wellness space, and also give a home to Livestrong at the YMCA, which as a 12-week program to help cancer survivors and their caregivers.
