What do you like about your Y experience?

Love my experince at the Dancel Y.

Not loving my experience with the Level A swim class, we did not receive any direction from the swim instructor in the last class despite having new students who missed the first session. In the first session of the class instruction was very minimal as well.

What do you like about your Y experience?

I enjoy the aqua Zumba classes and the chair yoga classes. I appreciate all the work the Y employees do to maintain the Dancel Center in good working order and keeping it clean for all of us to enjoy.

I thank the Dancel staff for providing pancake and waffle breakfasts and seasonal decorations that put us all in a festive spirit. Thanks for the hot tea and coffee station in the lobby.

I congratulate the Dancel staff for always improving the appearance and comfort in the lobby area. The new furniture looks great and fosters conversation and meeting new people.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Extremely friendly and competent employees. Tricia Smith is a fantastic instructor for Aqua Arthritis! She explains everything we’re doing and varies the routine each time. Some water fitness instructors do the same exact thing each time and classes get boring. I do wish there was a third day for A arthritis. Also Laura at the front desk is very friendly checking us in and never loses her cool. A couple of others often seem grumpy and unpleasant but Laura is always cheerful.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Everyone is friendly and welcoming, especially the folks at the door.

Here's an idea. I belong to Roger Carter as well as the Y, to ensure that a lane will always be available, one place or the other. Roger Carter has a huge glass roof, so the sunlight is pouring in all day. It's a nice feeling. At the Y, the feeling is a bit gloomy by comparison, and the water (in the main pool) seems colder somehow. My idea is to try replacing the electric lights above the Y pool by solar spectrum lights, even grow lights. People will feel happier, like they're outside.
