What do you like about our program and activities?

My daughter is 4 and has an amazing instructor who makes it fun. She always starts on time and utilizes the 45 minutes. She loves the new flotation noodle devices. I’ve seen a big improvement in just 6 lessons.

What do you like about our program and activities?

Shark Whisperer Liz is a fantastic swim instructor! She multitasked with ease when it came to providing comfort, safety, and a sense of security to my son (5 yrs) who was scared during his first couple lessons while also carrying out the lesson activities for the other children. She encouraged us to take him swimming between lessons, which we did (and it helped). Liz is skilled at building confidence in swimmers and always celebrates their accomplishments when they try new elements of water safety and swimming. Her care and dedication to teaching made a positive impact on my son's desire to keep trying. In just a few weeks he went from being scared and nervous to saying he loves swimming.Thank you, Liz!

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Variety of programs, great lineup of group exercise,, excellent instructors, helpful employees at the front desk and in the offices, wonderful childcare space. However, I don't like the community locker room, so I'm not using the pool as I had planned. Furthermore, parking some days is a disaster - it is difficult to even get to a class on time.
