Member Testimonials
I very much like that swimmers are able to reserve lanes at specific times and that some of those lanes are exclusively set aside for one swimmer only. If we go back to an all-shared lane system i'm afraid i'll give up my membership - i just don't ever want to swim that close to anyone again.
Nice variety. Easy for first timers to join and learn.

The courses
Recently moving to the area from out of state was hard but everyone at the Y made me feel welcomed and like I belonged! Ruth, the wellness coach, did amazing with helping me on the machines!

Everything is clean and well maintained (in the pool area at least). Its difficult to get a lane reserved, but I appreciate that I can get a lane to myself at a specific time.

I can’t live without my water aerobics classes that Carol teaches. The folks who take her classes are so warm and friendly and my body feels so much better afterwards.
