We love everything about the Y. The atmosphere is very friendly. The staff are do sweet and friendly!!
Thank you for asking! I just joined, but mainly for the pool. The only thing that I would say is this. The adult swims are a bit too frequent. And, what are staff doing to rid the pool of hair? Every time I move my hands in the pool there is hair. Kind of nasty. Are they going through with a net each day? Because if they aren't they really need to. A net that would rid the pool of hair. The filters are just not doing it. Thanks.
Friendly staff, good programs
It’s a place for families. It has something for every member to enjoy.
Rob First name removed's instructor was very understanding and taught him alot.
Family Atmosphere. Staff Friendly Clean
I always rate a 10 because of my experiences with the Y in general but this was actually a very frustrating visit. We drove 30 mins to take our kids to the outdoor pool here for a short while before work. We checked the family swim hours before leaving so we knew we were in good shape. As soon as we got there, an "adult swim" began and for 15 out of the 30 mins we had available to swim, my kids sat and watched empty shallow pools. This doesn't seem at all in the spirit of the Y which is supposed to be family friendly. Nor was it consistent with the hours advertised. I don't think we will go back. Such a shame.
The outside pool is amazing!!
Facilities are great. Pool area is fantastic.
I love the pool in Pasadena though the swim restrictions for children are absolutely ridiculous. As a former lifeguard and a parent of 3 small kids, I understand water safety better than most. But these age restrictions for children are limiting access to the pool in ways that will provide barriers to kids learning to swim. For example- I have a 7,4 and 1 year old. The older 2 have been in swim lessons for YEARS. But due to age I have to be physically in the pool with all 3 of them. Which means my 7 year old is stuck in the baby pool with me and the younger two. At 7 I was in the deep end and going off the diving board at my local pool. But my kid can’t do that because of your restrictive policies. It’s limiting the swimming experience he can get. In addition, by the time a kid is old enough to go down the slide- they basically are too big to want to go down the slide. If a kid has a green or yellow band- they should be able to go down the slide. ESPECIALLY if there is a parent right there.
My whole family loves this place. I mean everyone from 10 months to 40+ years old.
The pool!
Nice facility, great staff!
Love the classes included in my membership fee. Staff members are friendly (for the most part) and there are enough classes that I can choose activities that meet my schedule -- and get the benefit of the experiences of the various instructors.
Great place.
A beautiful facility with friendly and knowledgeable staff. A wonderful place.
great experience as always!
The schedule of classes can fit my availability
The pool. But, u need more chairs and umbrellas for shade.
I like the option for private & semi-private swim lessons, the instructors are good! I do find it annoying that lessons are disrupted by kids jumping into the lap pool during the lesson, when the lane is clearly marked with a sign, and the same thing happens when people are swimming laps. I think the life guards might be afraid to enforce the rules but should be trained to do so!

The way is a very family friendly environment. The pool is wonderful. The Y offers many classes that everyone can participate in and enjoy.
I love the Y! Clean, great group exercise classes, lots of amenities. Only thing lacking is purified water. The water in Pasadena is not great, so having a nice water filtration system would elevate the Y even higher.
The pool and all the activities
Family friendly
Pasadena is almost twice the distance from my house as it is from Arnold, my long time gym location. It is beautiful and clean, and the staff are very friendly. Especially, while Arnold is being renovated it is a great place to go.
They have some very dedicated instructors for the swimming classes.

Keep children out of the lap lanes
Polite staff
Very clean facility
