The Newport YMCA is undergoing a $10+ million renovation. I believe phase 1 of 3 is complete and phase 2 is almost complete. Once complete it will be a excellent facility.

Facilities repairs are expensive. My YMCA looks like the paint job is from the 80s/90s....they had frozen pipes this winter. Every shower there works, but each has something a little wrong with it. One shower head is mounted too low for adults, another won't maintain water pressure, another stall had the metal shelf screw come out and is slanted, etc. And these are just the small things. There's a reason your average person doesn't have a heated indoor pool. They're $$$$$$$ to maintain, replace parts as needed and keep looking good.
