More than an an athletic facility. It’s truly a family community center.
Brendan Gookin is amazing with our daughter, Sydney!
Your staff is absolutely lovely to children and cheerfully helpful to all. Randall, at the front desk, is exceptional! I also love the Saturday morning swim instructors, especially Sandy and Brendan (sp?).
Cindy is a great swim coach! They do challenging work outs and have fun.
The Ymca is one of the last places in town for our children to hang out together someplace safe and do something healthy.
It is a nice option for families to use to spend time together,
Basketball was well organized, fun and instructive. There was a fantastic culture balancing skills development, sportsmanship and fun :)

We had a swim instructor this week my son absolutely loved! He’s very shy and usually looks uncomfortable during swim, but this week he had a constant smile on his face and was waving to me laughing during his session. He can’t wait to go back!
I loved everything about this program!
The coaches were hands on and friendly. The girls on the team were welcoming…even to my daughter who was the only kindergartener on the team. She never felt left out and looked forward to going every week.
I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed it!
Love the facility and everything it has to offer! It’s so nice to see that they offer membership is based on income So that everyone can afford to go there. Also, I love kids club, free swimming lessons and gymnastics for under three year olds and the free coffee!
The instructors and lifeguards are always so friendly, they get along great with each other you can tell they love their jobs and it helps to make the learning environment for the kids a comfortable and fun one. The way they interact with each child to help them reach their full potential is wonderful and a joy to watch.
Angus is awesome!
I love the classes that are offered for free as part of your paid membership, especially the holistic classes taught at the Ipswich Y. Jan does an amazing job leading restorative yoga!
My daughter is in a swim class, she loves it and looks forward to it every week. Her instructor Angus does a wondeful job keeping it interesting and fun while still helping them learn!
Sydney’s instructor, Brendan Gookin, makes her private swim lessons a joy. Thanks to Brendan’s encouragement and skill, Sydney is gaining great confidence in her abilities.
Brendan is fantastic!! My daughter loves going to swimming each week and has made noticeable progress. I’m very happy with the swimming program and am looking forward to enrolling my son in lessons when he is a little older!
