This summer, Bay City’s public pool will raise admission from $1 to $4. The YMCA is now running daily operations to improve safety, staffing, and youth programs. The higher fee helps cover these costs and keep quality service. To stay affordable, the YMCA offers “Family Nights” twice a week with $2 entry. Meanwhile, Bay City and Matagorda County are planning a full aquatic center for year-round use, aiming to serve everyone in the community.
