Member Testimonials
I love the manchester YMCA it is awesome for children development.
My son has been taking swimming lessons at the Manchester YMCA since he was a baby. He is now 4, and he has always had a great experience! I love how patient the staff is with the kids as they are learning. They teach important skills while keeping the classes fun!
It's clean, safe, economical, the employees are friendly and helpful.
The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and very accessible to people of all ages and abilities. The instructors are patient, professional and kind always.
La seguridad que hay es muy buenas todos son muy amables
I like that there are so many options such as pool, basketball, fitness classes and gym. I also like that daycare is included and the family membership so you never have to worry about not being able to come because of children.
I appreciate that my grandsons can take swim lessons without my having to actually join the Y.
You have different programs for adults and kids, so we can keep doing activities for both at the same time.
Variety of options and times for swim lessons; caring and competent aquatics leadership, staff, and lifeguards. 10 out of 10 recommend!

The swim instructor is absolutely fantastic!
My boys have taken swim lessons at multiple Y’s in Texas and Virginia. I felt the coaching they received from the instructors at the Manchester Y was excellent and among the best. This was the first time the boys used the floating devices on their backs. Additionally, the classes had access to a large area of the pool, which was nice.
Swim lessons are available without having to join the Y
The instructor was wonderful and sooooooo good with the kids.
We love the swim instructors!!
Please add more chairs for waiting parents?
Please turn some heat on the ladies locker room. Its freezing in there "-(
Excellent staff, communicable and knowledgeable in their training and how to work with the children.
I love the patience and attention given to each kid. The instructor to child ratio is always good, I feel my kids get the attention needed.
The staff are amazing at what they do, especially Ally and Ariel.
Muy Bueno para nuestros ninos

We really love the aquatics director Ms.Ariel and Ms. Allie! They do a great job of keeping members in the loop for aquatics. We also love the swim team staff as well!
I felt really encouraged to continue the process. The instructors were very flexible schedule wise, patient and totally comforting with my anxiety. They also allowed me to move as my own pace providing positive feedback in the areas of my weakness. I would definitely and have already refer others to Manchester's swim program.

Thank you for offering a time and activity for EVERYONE!
I recently enrolled my daughter in your aquatics program and was so pleased by the diverse offerings. I could tell you considered the schedules of families like myself, but also that of your staffing to be able to offer fair class size/ratio and dedicated time to the students. We have attended 3 sessions so far and the results are uncanny!
I also enjoy your fitness schedule and recently tried your water aerobics offerings also.
Just like your newly renovated building, May your programs continue to evolve to meet the interests of our community! It's what keeps me (and other familiar faces that i see regularly)
PS: Don't change your staff though :-) They are friendly, energetic, empathetic and PRESENT... all the things that I value in a fitness center.
