About Us
Welcome to the Tiffin Community YMCA! We are excited to have members and guests alike enjoy our site information about our facility, programs, and events.
From Steven Crone, CEO
This past year was an exciting year for the Tiffin Community YMCA. In spite of the economic stresses we all faced, we were able to touch more lives and make a positive impact on more people.
Our major accomplishments in 2009 were:
- Provided $98,000 in YMCA scholarships
- Served nearly 6,000 members
- Taught 688 children to swim
Through these universally economic hard times, the Tiffin YMCA has maintained and accomplished some significant milestones. Our balance sheet is stable, we have reduced our debt by over $20,000 and generated $50,000 more in revenue than last year. These are all indicators that our organization is strong and attaining financial stability. This, in today’s economic climate, is a great and positive accomplishment. And, as always, we are thankful for the many volunteers, donors and members whose commitment to our mission is so critical to our continued success.

History and Mission
Our Mission:
To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy, spirit, mind, and body for all.
Our History:
Mrs. Della Shawhan Laird did devise and bequest the property, building, and equipment for a YMCA in Tiffin, Ohio and the Association was voluntarily organized by the local citizens in April 1923. The Tiffin YMCA’s observes March 8th, Mrs. Della Shawhan Laird’s birthday as a day of recognition.
On April 9, 1923 the Association applied for Certificate of Incorporation under the laws of the State of Ohio and on April 17, 1923, the Secretary of State issued and recorded a Certificate of Incorporation.
In the late 70’s, a joint effort between the Community Pool Inc. who owned and operated the present pool and the Tiffin YMCA would be undertaken to make the Community Pool site a complete recreational complex. Under this agreement, the new facility would be operated by the Tiffin YMCA and called the Tiffin Community YMCA Recreation Center. The downtown YMCA building was sold to the Industrial Savings and Loan in the early 1980’s.
In 1980, The Fourth Grade Swim Program was established. This is an 8 week program that teaches water safety to all 4th grade students in Tiffin City Schools.
In 1999, the Basketball Gym was built.
In 2005, the Wellness Center was remodeled. This included the remodel of the Childwatch room and the removal of the Racquet Ball Courts.
