Good pools for swimming, enough lifeguards! Some are good about enforcing rules (diplomatically), but several too timid & pretend they don’t see an issue, looking away. Can you pls. train them a little better? Thank you! 😉

Also, why do lessons go on 12-1 PM Sundays (“adult individual swim”) in therapy pool?? I’ve talked to several bothered by this. It just makes pool that much more crowded/difficult to move around in.

Some have health issues/disabilities & is not easy to avoid bumping into kids, as they are unpredictable at times (by nature). A lesson w/ 1 teacher & 1-2 kids moving around quickly (and not in a straight line usually), is not a good idea to blend with “adult individual swim”.

Local location, friendly staff and availability of stations to work out are important to me and the Ross Road YMCA has all these things. I am starting again after a long break and I only use the treadmill at this point. I hope to use other facilities once I get going in a few weeks.

I do have several suggestions about your activities:

l. The lap pool is too cold. It will be great if it's 2-3 degrees higher. My husband and several of my friends feel the same way. Also, the temperature is uneven from one side of the pool to the other end. I was swimming in the pool the other day and towards the lifeguard side about 10 feet the water turned really cold, I got a cold afterwards and am still recuperating.

2. I know you probably will suggest for me to use the warm pool. It is too small and not designed for lap swim. There are often too crowded too.

3. Since you upgrade the cross trainer machines, I can only use 11, 12, and 13. And I also noticed there are people waiting for them. The new machines has an angle and it's like walking on high heels, very uncomfortable. Can you do something about that?

I’m happy that ballet was added back in the schedule for kids. I wish gymnastics was brought back too, there used to offer gymnastics for kids about 4 years ago and one day the class was no longer offer :(

Compared with other Ys it is more relaxed and staff appears to be friendlier in Palo Alto than other places. I would just wish that the entrance to various Y facilities would be more seamlessly. Every time when I go to another Y I'm treated like a guest or my status needs to be double checked with the Palo Alto facility.
