LUBBOCK, Texas -

With the summer heat returning, the Lubbock YWCA held the grand opening of its new facility Saturday. The J.T. and Margaret Talkington YWCA near 62nd and Elgin Ave.

The new facility replaces the old Sun'n'Fun that was bought, then demolished to make way for the new $8.5 million facility.

"We have a full aquatic center with group swim lessons," Joseph Phund with the Y said, "private swim lessons, a swim team, and aerobic fitness classes. We also have a full-sized gymnasium, fitness center, rock-climbing wall, classrooms, and multi-purpose rooms, as well as a full-sized commercial kitchen."

The J.T. and Margaret Talkington Sun 'n' Fun Center gym is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, and the pool and splash pad are open from noon to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
