Work Out. We've Got the Kids.
Child Watch is a free membership benefit at the YMCA of Klamath Falls Aquatic & Fitness Center, designed so parents can get their workout in without worrying about their little ones. While you’re in the building, your child enjoys a safe, fun, and engaging environment with activities like art projects, group games, and more. Child Watch is available for children ages 3 months through 12 years and promotes healthy social interaction in a supportive setting. Visits are limited to no more than 2 hours, and parents must remain in the building at all times. It’s one of the best reasons to have a Y membership — peace of mind is included.

What Parents Need to Know
We want every Child Watch visit to go smoothly for you and your child. Here are a few important policies to keep in mind:
- Parents must check in and check out their child(ren) and present their membership card at check-in
- Parents must remain in the building at all times during their child’s visit
- Visits are limited to no more than 2 hours
- Please do not bring sick children — we cannot accept children who are unwell
- Child Watch staff do not change diapers — parents will be called if a change is needed or a child cannot be calmed
- If max capacity is reached, a sign will be posted and no additional children will be accepted at that time
Child Watch Is a Member Benefit
Child Watch is one of the many reasons a Y membership pays for itself — it’s completely free for members, every single visit. Whether you come in three times a week or once a month, your kids have a safe, fun place to be while you take care of yourself. A Y membership also gives your family access to our full fitness center, group classes, pool, and member discounts on programs. If you’re not yet a member, we’d love to welcome you — come see for yourself why so many Klamath Falls families call the Y home. Membership is open to individuals, couples, and families of all sizes.
