I love how everyone working at the Y is cheerful and welcoming. You can always tell when the staff enjoys working with each other and have a shared investment in the mission of the organization. Thank you!

a clean nice place to work out and swim. However, i still suggest expanding the morning swimming hours before 6:30 am. I would suggest at least from 6 am, or it just too rash for people who enjoy swimming before work.

Also the last time I went to the downtown YMCA, the water was not clean, people who went there didn't rinse themselves but got in anyway. After swimming there my skin had some infections. Then I never go back there again!

Drumstick class in the main 9:30 slot is not a good workout. Before it was nice to have a good workout to kick off the week.
Also it is detrimental to the knees. Wears out tendons and ligaments with short movements.

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.
