I participate in water aerobics in the Family pool. The instructor is easy to follow and th others in the class are very friendly
I also work out with LF and CF equipment. I like doing that independently

I like that my son gets a snack, a chance to do homework, and time to play with his friends.
At age 77, my primary interest at the Salem YMCA location is walking on your “Walking Track”! It is intended to be a walking track, however many Y members just don’t know that as they gather on your track to stand and talk causing some frustration on my part. Not wanting to confront anyone is always my choice and in most cases I just choose to walk around those that are just there in “My Space” and on a few occasions I will stay in my path walking directly at those in my walking path and politely say “excuse me please”. On the highway, motorists always drive on the right side of the road and at the Y, I always walk on the right to avoid any risk of walking into someone at the corners. My wife and I truly enjoy your Salem Y and I will continue my walking and will continue to be polite, walk around those in my path and at times continue to say excuse me please for those that just congregate in my path to relax and talk to their friends. 😊
The swimming staff are very helpful. The programs are designed well. The swimming teachers are great.
I love the water exercise classes-both warm water and cold water. Candy is a great instructor and so is Pam. I enjoy the friendships I've made through attending water exercise classes.
