What do you like about your Y experience?

I love going to this camp every year because, the counselor are humorous and show empathy to all of the campers. I love having the camp on a waterfront property because we get to do water sports and tubing. We do so many activities there; there is never a part of the day you are doing nothing except siesta when it is calm down time, (you don't really calm down in our cabin). I wish we could have more time on the water. I love this camp!

What do you like about your Y experience?

Instructors were very good! I came in to swim lessons knowing nothing about swimming but I was open and willing to learn. My goal was to at least know how to float at the end of my 8 classes and to y surprise I was actually swimming! Not great but swimming none the less. I never imagined at the age of 53 that I would be comfortable in the water and I am now and I’m so very very very happy that I came to your center and took lessons.

The prompt responses that we have received has been wonderful. I don't feel like what the parents have to say falls on deaf ears. I feel our kiddos are being taken care of.

What do you like about your Y experience?

We had the best teacher (and Julie took over for 2 classes while she was out of town). I feel like Aisha (I hope that’s how you spell her name) did such a great job talking people through their blocks or fears. And also making space for those who picked up certain aspects more quickly. I got exactly what I expected to out of the class and can keep practicing

What do you like about your Y experience?

The accountability given to the children through the bead system, the organization and variety of the activities, and the information provided during the registration and pre-camp process. My children wish they could stay longer!

What do you like about your Y experience?

The instructor was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I took the adult swim class to refresh and improve my skills. The instructor provided demonstrations and allowed sufficient practice of learned skills. She was very patient and helped everyone. Overall, this was a very worthwhile experience.

What do you like about your Y experience?

The swim coordinator (Ashley) was very attentive and knowledgeable. She encouraged the kids to do what they were comfortable with and asked them to try new things they were unsure of. The daytime class was very small which gave her time to really spend some time with each child. My husband and I are very proud of the progress our daughter made this year in swim class.

What do you like about your Y experience?

We love our experience with the YMCA as always. We love the instructors. They are so patient and so kind. We've brought both our kids to the YMCA in Hampton for swim lessons. Even i went to this same YMCA at swim lessons as a kid! The only thing i would change is the schedule. I wish adult swim wasn't the same time as youth beginner swim because it moves all the kids to a small ropped off section of the pool and it affects the amount of space they have and the instructors have to maneuver and get creative with the space.
