The staff is the best.

Also I like that you announced Open/Free swim it is only during specific hours. I hear laps swimmers complain that when swim lessons are going on, it limits the lap swimmers.

Here are my suggestions though:

For the pool: bring back the "slow, medium and fast" lanes for lap swim. This way when someone just wants to "float" in the pool during lap swim, they know to take the slow lane to allow lap swimmers to get their laps in. Also, when the pool is completely full with the maximum number of lap swimmers a fold-out floor sign (similar to a "wet floor" sign) comes out to say PLEASE CIRCLE SWIM. This will allow more people to share lanes and that way experienced swimmers will naturally take the fast lane to circle swim.

Overall: Create a Member's resource board for sharing. Every time I hang something in the locker room it gets taken down. If you had a member's resource/bulletin board we could share information. We all have a lot to offer. Services, recipes, news, etc.

I love feeling like a part of a community - just going to the Y regularly for my own workouts and taking some classes has helped me start to have people at the gym and beyond that I know and to feel more connected. Plus there's a great variety of classes and activities to participate in, cardio and weight floor has tons of equipment and options, full indoor lap pool, etc. - all of the facilities are an awesome deal for the monthly cost and I love knowing my fees are also going to community programs and larger support than just getting access to the gym for the month.

Thank you!!!

ALSO A BIG THANK YOU for having the cement at the front entrance replaced!!!
