NEW ROCHELLE, NY (October 21, 2025) — The New Rochelle YMCA expressed deep gratitude to New York State Sen. Nathalia Fernandez and her staff for securing a $250,000 grant to install a new dehumidification system above the facility’s pool.

“This investment in the facility will touch so many lives,” the YMCA said. “Our Sailfish Swim Team among others will be thrilled! Thank you Senator Nathalia Fernandez.”

Fernandez presented an oversized ceremonial check made out to the New Rochelle Young Men’s Christian Association, Inc., for the $250,000 amount.

The grant, signed by Fernandez, underscores state support for community wellness programs at the YMCA, which serves youth through initiatives like the Sailfish Swim Team.
