Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Sterling Y is so very clean and the staff are all great. So many classes are offered. My only issue is that it is so popular that many classes are full and the pool lap lanes are crowded.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I use the pool for exercise as I have arthritis in both of my knees. I expecially like the small section of the pool to walk back and forth and then to hold on to the side and exercise my knees and legs.

Since I was there in November you made additional improvements in the changing area by putting in a bench in the changing rooms and hooks to hang your clothes on while changing into your swimming attire. It is so much better than just a chair.

The staff are very helpful in keeping one informed if there is to be a change due to private lessons. They are also very attentive.

Shout out to the awesome kids club staff, especially Tina! My daughter loves kids club, and the grown-ups there are great to work with from a parent perspective. I also find this Y clean and functional every time I’m there, the staff are friendly, and I love the buzz of community in the cafe.

What do you like about our program and activities?

Ms. Haley and Ms. Thalia are incredible. They are deeply kind and caring. They somehow maintain order in a classroom of many different children with different needs, gifts and challenges. They give my daughter personalized attention, build her self esteem, responsibility, creativity and curiosity. She says, “I love Ms. Haley and Ms. Thalia. I love when Ms. Haley teaches us in centers and when Ms. Thalia sits with me.”
