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!

It has everything! The people are great. It's very clean. I enjoy my time there, every time.
I have had a fantastic experience with masters swim. Jen and Mary Cae are great at critiquing technique and advising on how to improve technique. They have pushed me out of my comfort zone every practice. My swim times have improved and I feel more confident during my swims. Cannot day enough good things about my experience!
