A welcoming place to keep fit and meet others in the community
It is a place for family
The Y is clean, offers many groups and the equipment is mostly separated by protective plastic panels which is still important to me related to Covid protection.
great water aerobics classes
Coach Cindy is wonderful and flexible with my daughter's schedule. She is in a private school that requires sports. So, Cindy has been great about allowing my daughter to not come certain days due to games and/or needing to manage time between sports and school work. My daughter has felt welcome and supported from day 1.
I regularly use the Gloucester and Beverly Ys. I am delighted to see MG grandchildren take advantage of the services if the Ipswich Y.It is a great community resource. 😀
Angus is an awesome teacher!
Aqua swim aqua dance the kids swim lessons
We love the staff, and the kids feel comfortable in the program.
Well organized and well run!
My son loves learning from Angus!
Blaire is great with the group of kids. She has a patience of a saint! She incorporates fun and structure into every session. My daughter is always so excited to go to street hockey every week and has learned a lot of skills. I hope they offer this program again!
Love it
Fantastic facilities
Lots of exercise options
I recommended Yunjie and she will join soon.
Although we only participate in one class a week, it appears there are many options available for folks to choose from. I do kind of wish there was a way for us older folks to save money especially if we’re only taking one class a week.
The teachers and atmosphere of the pool and support staff.
Great program, my daughter has learned so much and she has so much fun!
The tone. The instructions.
Best swim program around! Staff is great and facility is clean
Friendly staff, family changing room, spacious
all the staff you hire are amazing. From lifeguards, to swim instructors. And we love Cindy and Sandy.
The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. My daughter loves going to swim class, and she’s learning a lot.
Instructor works with the children to see what level they are at and adjust the sports level accordingly
This has been an amazing experience for Christian. It works for him because it’s an individual sport but learning how to compete and be part of a team has been great for him. I cannot say enough about the support and encouragement he has received from Cindy and now Sandy. Cindy could not have done more to get him to become part of this team and stick with it. She had a perfect balance of going at his pace and encouraging him to do more. She also helped me encourage Christian. The communication to and support of parents, the work to organize the meet volunteers, and the dedication to make it fun for the swimmers with all the activities is outstanding. Thank you!!
I like the fun, gentle approach!
I like the pre team sharks, I like Cindy a lot! Overall the programs are strong and fun I think.
The commitment from the aquatic staff is incredible. Every practice they bring there all for the kids and it shows they care. Amazing staff!
The YMCA is a good community member by providing a number of services and value to Ipswich. The YMCA provides a place for the community to increase fitness and health, and they open their doors to the community as a poll location for Ipswich, and they provide affordable housing units to lower income families.
