Important Update to Nationwide Reciprocity Policy
Effective August 1, 2025
The Smith Mountain Lake YMCA of Franklin County will no longer participate in the YMCA Nationwide Reciprocity program.
This change will not affect current SML YMCA members.
Why is this happening?
The SML YMCA has been designated as a “destination location”, which changes our eligibility in the reciprocity program.

Nationwide Reciprocity
Nationwide Membership enables you to visit any participating Y in the United States through membership at your “home” YMCA (your home location is the facility that enrolled you as a member and that collects your membership dues).
We offer this because we want to help you reach your health and wellness goals wherever you live, work or travel. This is an essential part of our cause of strengthening communities.
- Valid for active, full facility YMCA members
- Nationwide member visitors must use their home Y at least 50% of the time
- Program-only participants and special memberships are not eligible for Nationwide Membership
- If you have more questions, download this “Know Before You Go” resource
- Monthly visits limited to 5 visits
