What Parents Say

Parents consistently highlight excellent customer service and well-maintained equipment, though one reviewer noted concerns about childwatch supervision.
Very nice people work here, but it could be a lot better in terms of organization and communication. Some examples: 1) Missing notifications on temporary pool closures. Recent instance where received no notification via social media and an email 50 minutes later from the pool opening time about the temporary pool closure, and I guess the expectation is for everyone to drive there to then find out. On special days like MLK Day, it would be nice to let people know the hours as well. 2) Their PDF of open lap swims for some days have a specific time when AquaFit PT comes in - which is fine. However, the times are deceiving and off because the pool lane ropes in the inner lane are pulled in 10-15 minutes before what the time says on the schedule which is not pleasant while you're mid-swim. Specify this on the PDF. Once again, nice staff, the YMCA just need to stay on top of all these things.
The whole facility is amazing. You can’t go wrong. I love the lifeguard Carin. She is so expert in everything and extreaming experienced. Love this place. Love carin.
They don't offer any open/family lanes/times for people who don't want to lap swim but still want to exercise in the pool. This facility is even more prejudiced against non-lap swimmers than the city center one. Why bother joining if you just want to use the gym? Planet Fitness is much cheaper. It used to be much better and much more open to people using the pool for other types of exercise.
Pool - on a good day this is a wonderful experience for my husband to go swim laps. On a bad day, the lanes are taken even though the website says they are available. Example - today senior splash was supposed to have ended but one lane was taken by some from this group. "Life guards do not do anything to enforce the schedule or monitor the situation of lanes being available for lap swimming" There have been times when the pool has been closed unexpectedly with no notification. There have been times the online schedule says one thing and another is true once at the Y. Facility is beautiful but definitely needs work on organization of schedule and enforcement of it.
Joined 18 months ago. Friendly staff. Great programs and equipment.
