My advice to people who move here is to join the Y first. It’s a great community. They make you feel welcome and part of the community.

We joined the Y four years ago when we moved from Houston to Rye. We love the Y. It’s a place the whole family can use. My 9-year-old son has taken swimming lessons, and my 4-year-old daughter is in the Busy Bees morning program. It’s a great program and such a nice transition to the afternoon program at the Rye Presbyterian Nursery School.

I went to West Point and played Rugby there. I then served in Iraq. I’m a basic guy, and the Y’s fitness center fulfills all my needs. It’s friendly and low pressure. Everybody’s great at the Y.
