Member Testimonials
My son leaned confidence and skills that I hope will last a lifetime. Now he wants to enroll in swimming class!
I appreciate that the pool has as water jet on the far lane and it feels good to swim through LOL. Also the whirlpool sauna afterward feels great. I love to swim here.
Variety
Jojo is an awesome swim teacher.
We workout twice a week for 30 mins. so the equipment means a lot and they are clean and not too crowded. Our son likes to shoot basketball while we workout, after 5 pm.
We would like to see more classes offered after 6pm.
I think that it’s a great place to work out, my daughter loves the swimming, and I like the friendly, relaxing, chilled, atmosphere!
That they benefit the community!
Swimming working out meet new friends have great so thank everyone nice
The fitness equipment, walking track, and swimming pool/hot tub.
The people. Friends
Family friendly environment, lots of options for work outs and involvement, plus discounts for team sports for kids!
Variety and flexibility. Friendly supportive staff.Pool is always clean and inviting.
Jamie was great! He was so attentive and creative with getting the little ones learning to swim. Such a fun experience!
I like being able to book a lane at a specific time vs haphazard pre Covid arrangement.
I take the Tai Chi class that is offered Monday and Wednesday and have found it to have improved my overall health. The breathing, balance, and meditative aspects have been excellent. And frankly the introduction of martial arts and self protection aspect from this teacher have greatly lifted my self confidence as a senior.
Lot's of options
The variety of activities
Age appropriate, positive coaching. Coach Scott has coached my child for several years, and he was his primary coach last year. Coach Scott has the unique ability to be caring and positive and still push the swimmers to swim at a very high level. His coaching skills are reflected by the fact that the kids talk about how much they like him and the boys placed higher than they ever have at the YMCA National Championships. Scott has a short term and long term visions for the team that are well thought out and for the interests of bettering the swimmers and GCY.
Flexibility in practice times.
Coaches who take time to work on technique and to get to know what motivates their swimmers
I believe that there is something for everyone. The programs are very inclusive.
It was very hard at first but I got use to it and thought it was very good for me. I now continue to exercise in my outdoor pool. Gladys DeVos
Wonderful way to exercise when you have issues with your joints
Flexibility
Great for the youth
Joan is a great water fitness instructor. She pays careful attention to form so we get the most out of our exercises, and she is very knowledgeable about how to modify exercises for people with various physical issues.
I do wish the Y would dedicate the family pool to our classes when they are in session (or at least the first 3/4 of the pool). People coming into the exercise space are very distracting and at times Joan has to modify what we are doing to avoid them. Also, I hope when school is out for the summer, we will not have families and children in the pool during classes. This is also very distracting.
Joan is a great instructor!
Friendly professional instructor and evening hours.
I appreciate all the excellent communication and we adored our coaches
the waterworks programs are fanastic!! they start on time, instructor is flexible or open to each student's needs and helps us adjust excerises to our needs or limits. There is always support for whatever stage the sudent is at. instructor is courteous, friendly and supportive. This Bryan location is close to my home.
