Timing
Love aquafit
First name removed loves the Aquafit sessions and eagerly participates. He especially enjoys getting into the warm hot tub to relax….when it is working. It was a big issue for him when it was out of service.
Programs suit my needs and I am able to pick the best times to work out.
It is a great facility with a wide range of activities and a large selection of workout equipment!
All of it
Thanks
Aquafit, kids swimming lessons, summer hockey practice for young kids
I love the morning week day aquafit!
I like the atmosphere and the pool!
Lots more programs to choose from, however program hours are still limited.
Children's activity programmes should not be provided on the walking /running track area, as its disruptive and possibly dangerous.
Love all the current programs
Wish that the pool was open more often in afternoon
Otherwise love the ymca
super selection of activities... and aquafit has been a game changer for me .. Thanks
Swimming and yoga is available most days at the same time and staff are kind and helpful.
My daughter is enjoying the swimming lessons and has progressed really far.
My daughter and I also enjoys the time in the leisure pool.
Disappointed the lifeguard club was cancelled due to low attendance, but son is considering advancing his to bronze cross.
The only reason I give a 9 instead of a 10 is for the lane swim. It seems that some swimmers take the lane for the entire swimming time (often two hours) even if there are other people waiting for the lane. I've also observed some people doing exercises in the shallow part of the lane, cling to the edge of the deep end for extended periods of time (30+ minutes) or just floating and even socializing with the lifeguard in the lanes - when that could be activities could be accommodated on the leisure side. When it comes to lane sharing, I've been told by the life guard to come back as a particular person 'is like swimming beside the wake of a boat' i.e. splashes around and doesn't share well - the lifeguard also told me that person planned to swim for two hours and to come back later. As I live out of town and work around my kids activities in town - this was less than convenient. Although my plan is now to bring both my gym and swim clothes so that I can be more flexible.
I suppose the reason why this has been annoying is that my son needs to get his stamina up in order to further his lifeguarding training. If we come during the lunch hour swim time, often we are there the entire time and he gets 15 minutes before the pool closes to work on his lengths - if he gets any time at all. At this point, my son has doubts he will pass. Too bad lifeguard club didn't move forward b/c then kiddos would have had designated lane time to get ready for the next levels.
Feeling a bit defeated about it. As it stands, I can't figure out a solution that works within our schedule. However, I don't think the issue is with the YMCA programming or your wonderful life guards. I think it comes down to etiquette on behalf of the patrons - lane sharing and courtesy for other who are waiting.
Jen, the personal trainer is kind and doing a great job putting the person supported through her exercises. Her attention to detail and encouragement are just what’s needed for Maygan to continue attending her sessions..
