it's okay
The Y is for all , you can find the class is for you and fit your needs . Friendly and happy environment . The best think happens to me is he a member to the Y. I love it
My kids have gotten more out of the structured swim program in a few months than they have the previous several years at other swim programs. 45 minutes in the water is perfect (other programs only offer 30 min lessons) for making progress on their skills. The pool area and locker rooms are always clean, and the life guards follow the rules without exception (which I appreciate). I also like the feedback I get from the teacher about my kids' progress in the pool.
I love how the swimming lessons (for toddlers/babies) is about the big-picture of swimming safety such as teaching our child about "permission to enter the water" and not only swimming. Thank you for making us more aware of this all-around goal!
Kind, friendly, and competent instructors! Well run and organized program without wasted motion, reasonably priced, and perhaps most importantly, a pool that is warm enough that my kids don't complain about or refuse getting in. Also really appreciate 45 minute blocks over 30 minute blocks!
Increased pickleball time to play
friendly staff
My son is a tough kid, Aspergers and adhd and TONS of energy and difficulty with boundaries and impulse control. The staff at the Y have been nothing but patient and lovely with him.
I am a big supporter of the programming at the Y that serves all ages in the community. I like how the Y can be a community builder or connector also.
While I have come only 3 times, I have enjoyed 3 different classes....Restorative Yoga, Hydro Fit and Fit Over 50. They were all run professionally and on time. The staff and other members are welcoming, helpful and kind.
Friendly atmosphere and well maintained facility
I visited the Ipswich Family Y last week and walking through I was so inspired seeing so many people of different age ranges enjoying activities from Pickleball to swimming to working out to taking a yoga class. Friendly staff at the welcome center was the icing on the cake. A true community gem.
Good equipment ; friendly place.
I just love the Ipswich Y! The staff are amazing! The programs offered are full of opportunities for my family! I love meeting the community , since I began they have welcomed us with open arms! I see us always being a member! I just want to say thank you for the support and resources!
Extremely clean and well-run facility.
Swim lessons are engaging and fun for the kids
Brendan, the instructor, is great! He makes the effort to learn the children’s names and makes them feel welcome, he encourages them and makes them feel safe, and makes swimming lessons fun!
The instructors are all so friendly and attentive. I love that there are age appropriate activities each week to build their confidence and swimming skills for them to become independent in the water. Everyone who I’ve had been in contact with, from the aquatics director to my child’s instructor, have been so accommodating, understanding, and helpful.
Caitlin is a wonderful instructor. My two children are with Caitlin and each one has become a much stronger and confident swimmer. They love seeing her and I love knowing that they’re in good hands while they’re there.
Swim program for school age kids is fantastic! Week 3 and my 8-year-old timid swimmer is passing the swim test and learning how to dive!
I think the swim instructors are great with little ones! They respect that my son is a bit hesitant but also encourage him to go past his comfort zone! He is loving it!
Easy to sign up; nice facilities; good instructors and programming.
The instructors are so great!! Patient and so wonderful with the kids, I’m so impressed with the staff
my son thinks it is fun and low pressure, he is enjoying himself with his friends without constantly feeling the need to compete, just having fun and getting exercise!
It’s pretty “laid back” but at the same time good instruction and patient instructors. The locker room is a tad chilly and a bit chaotic when all of us parents and kids are trying to change etc, but the pool is toasty!
Instructors engage well with the children. The groups are small so the instructors are able to h give individual attention
I can’t say it enough, my son is thriving at Ipswich ELC. The teachers are amazing and send updates about activities and what type of day he has had. He loves going to school and talks about his teachers, friends, and activities all the time! We couldn’t be happier!
This program is amazing! First and foremost the STAFF is top notch! So kind, helpful and knowledgeable. The fact that snack is provided is also very helpful! The time going g to 6 pm is phenomenal, and can write just talk about the half and full off days?!?! So Good!!!
The Y staff is so nice with Clints.
It is clean.
Everything you need is available.
