Very courteous and friendly staff
Great customer service. Friendly as well as professional
Person at the front desk is very nice and greets you even in the very early morning. Always tells you to have a good day when you leave. Always clean and has wipes for the machines and equipment. Pool is clean and nice. Overall great experience so far
The summer camp options are great. Our children were a little wary of going to a new camp, but the fun activities made for a great week.
friendly people /love the pool and equipment/
The staff at the front desk and the lifeguards are friendly and helpful. Also, they are extremely polite. I spend a lot of time in the pool, and the lifeguards are always on point.
The wide variety of classes and how everyone is so welcoming. Also the stay and play staff! The are all so wonderful with the kids and I feel totally comfortable leaving my children in their care. They all are always smiling and ready to wrangle the group for fun.
Great
Loved that my child was able to practice paddling a canoe several times these past few weeks. The plan this summer is for Grammy to take my child boating and this course was perfect to prepare my child for boating this summer. Thanks so much for offering this class!!!
My 13, 12, and 10 year olds all have different reasons for liking the program but they all can't wait for the next one. Well done!!
My kids love everything about the program - wall climb is my 10 year olds' favorite.
I like to swim and spend time with my friends.
I took the Monday night swim class this week and absolutely loved it!! Can't wait to take the one tomorrow night!!
I love the Y, however when they have open swim in the family pool, they never have the children’s portion turned on or the water slide. It was turned one 1 time that I went and that was because someone asked for it. I stopped going for a couple months because of it. My son and I came the other day and he only wanted to spend 20 min in the pool because he kept saying it’s not squirting water. I think the lifeguards should be turning this one when it’s open swim time or at least when they see children enter the pool.
Camaraderie
Meeting new friends, senoir activiities, and pool.
The staff were so great with my 5 year old who tends to be shy in new situations. He had never rock climbed before and they were able to teach him how to tie his ropes and put on his own harness! he loved his class and looked forward to it every week! I would definitely recommend the Y, especially to families.
Love that everyone is willing to help!
