However, each individual guest is limited to 3 visits per year to the YMCA of Philadelphia and Vicinity. Each full privilege adult member may bring a maximum of 3 guests per visit. The YMCA recognizes that a best practice is to have a member accompany a guest, but does not require it. *Program members are entitled to participate in only the program for which they have registered.
