Southwest YMCA is a great community-oriented branch. There are lots of programs and offerings that reach out to our neighbors. The facility is clean & in great shape for all patrons.
SHAWNA Breashers is a phenomical instructor in and out of the pool. Give her a raise. And, while you are at in, upgrade the shower equipment and the condition of the lockers in the men's dressing room. I very much value and admire the work that the YMCA does in teaching youngsters how to swim and be safe in the water.
I love the friendly staff and inviting spaces at Southwest Y. It is so much quieter and more peaceful than other Austin Ys! And always love youth volleyball especially staffer Mike. Thank you!
It’s a clean gym with a positive and friendly environment.

Feels like family!
My girls love the dance and gymnastics and karate.
One request which is probably totally not doable and sort of silly but why not ask :) my girls prefer I stay in the activities building when they do gymnastics and dance which is totally fine, I do like to watch them. But I know a lot of other parents use that time to work out. I wonder if it would be possible to put in the activities building a few stationary bikes that may not be in use so us parents watching our kids could also burn a few calories at the same time :) just a thought!
But yes my kids enjoy it!
I love the pool and friendliness of the staff.
I like your Zumba instructors very much. I like how clean the women's locker rooms are.
Very positive uplifting environment with plenty of healthy challenges and great staff.
The strength classes are fun and challenging.I am much stronger than before I joined, which is important as we age. The classes become friends and there is a sense of getting better together!
The variety, the fun, the teachers, the warm welcome and help, the facility with its exercise rooms, machines, and pool, the attention to cleanliness, and the programs for kids.

Kids love it. They’re great and convenient scheduled.
