Member Testimonials
My kids loved swimming lessons! They have been to different swim lessons and this is the first time they connected, understood and were excited to go. Our instructor Isabel was great to the boys!
How well organized and fun they are. They are properly designed for the age group
Our swimming instructor was very patient with our child who was hesitant to join the activities. She let her come around in her own time and in turn our child is now excited for swim lessons.
Private swimming lessons are the best! Our granddaughter has learned quite a bit and has no fear of swimming. She’s enjoying every lesson. Thanks
Ms. Sky has been an excellent swim instructor for my 6 year old. In just a few lessons, my child has made incredible progress. My child loves his swim lessons and is so excited each time we arrive for his lesson. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.
The swim teachers are very encouraging and have so much patience with the kids. The class size is small (both classes only have 4 students each) so the kids get a lot of individualized attention. At the end of each lesson the swim coaches take the time to talk to each parent about how their child did. Both of my sons are enjoying it and we would love to come back next year!
The programs are as described and the instructor is very attentive to my granddaughter and is accommodating her in her pursuit of strength training and stroke skills.
Instructor is very friendly and patient. My daughter loves the songs.
I think the positive engagement from younger adults has a very encouraging impact for our little kids
The swim instructors are so good! Clear with instructions and so patient with the kids. Huge results in such a short period of time. Coach Gabby got my very timid 3 year old to float on his in just 5 days of lessons, and Coach Frank has my 5 year old full of confidence and crushing it learning a new stroke in just a couple lessons. Rad aquatics team!
The one on one and attentive of my instructor. Ms. Bonnie is amazing!
Reasonably priced, kind, positive, good times
I loved the number of classes per session. It’s affordable and ensures my kid has water safety. My only issue is the inconsistency between instructors. Every instructor for the same class seems to teach it differently. My daughter had a sub for her second week and she started working on strokes wi try her which is what we assumed stage 2 was. Her first instructor was not emphasizing that area, more the floating and diving under water.
Great
Great activities for the kids. All the staff is very polite and fitness class are amazing.
Easy to access, an instructor is present and assists in activities.
Excellent
Coach Frank is the best and the only reason we continue to come to Mays Potranco!
Many opportunities to swim, do the machines and other classes.
During the summer months, I would greatly appreciate the Y staff at DR Semmes closing the shades on the east side of the building.
You could also enforce this as a way of decreasing the costs of keeping the Y at a comfortable temperature for exercising.
Perhaps a sign at the entrance saying that the shades will remain closed until 2 pm to save on air conditioning costs would alert members to this policy and improve compliance.
Programs and activities are well-conducted by skilled staff.
I only use the smaller pool & it's great. Polite staff and heated pool
I enjoy all the zumba water classes
I love the attentiveness, the friends I’ve made, Josie’s cycle and body pump classes as well as the Aqua Zumba classes 👍🏻🏋️♀️🏊🏼♀️
They offer so many fun events for me and my family
Group exercise classes and facilities
I love this ymca they have way more stuff than the westside one
Clean facility. Lots of options
Hours, convenience, friendly and helpful staff.

The instructor was great at getting my special needs child to feel more confident and enjoy being in the water. He went from being so scared he was shaking to doggy paddling and floating very quickly. A+ social/emotional skills!
