Member Testimonials
The staff is amazing! My daughter loves the child care center. I can work out with zero worries because I know that she's in good hands.
My children were involved in YMCA sports and afterschool care on occasion. I loved that the YMCA sports were more fun with a lighter schedule than some other leagues. The point was to give every child a chance to play and improve. I wish they would get rid of the policy giving every child a trophy for participation though. It is not necessary or expected. Spend the money on a pizza party at the end of the season instead. My children also participated in Swim lessons. I think every child should learn to swim if possible. Maybe you should give out scholarships to swim lessons if you don't already, since drowning is one of the top childhood reasons for death. My husband and I like to use the workout equipment. I have had a family membership since shortly after you opened your doors on the south side, even though it is just my husband and me now. I like to keep supporting the Y and all it's wonderful programs. I have used the childcare center as well and loved having the ability to bring my children there so I could work out.
What I like that you can’t get from other places is a place for kids to exercise. The P. E. classes for kids is a good way for them to get exercise and the adults can exercise at the same time.

I enjoy the Senior class that I participate in. The instructor is excellent and the class is very beneficial to me. I enjoy being with a group when I exercise. It is inspiring to participate with others involved in the doing the exercise with you. I would also like to have a Senior Yoga class added to the selection. I can hope!
I feel it's a great place for the kids to learn teamwork and leadership

I am very happy with how well the classes went. The instructors are very nice and did great in helping my kids learn to swim.
The instructor Davion was fantastic. I was always afraid of swimming and never learned anything about it. Now I can and have done something in the swimming pool that is brand new to me. I am excited.
Instructors helped my grandson with his confidence and skills.
They are building on skills
Kennedy was lucky enough to be the only one in her swim class. She had the absolute best time. I look forward to her returning next summer.
Very engaging and patient instructor
Yes, the experience and they're very respectful.
The swim instructors were very attentive and patient with my 6 year old grandson. Both instructors did a great job. After the lesson, the instructor would come over and give my grandson a word of encouragement, "you did great" and praise his progress. I was very pleased

We love the swim lessons at Grand Prairie Family YMCA! My kids, 5½ and 8½, started with no skills, and after just 8 lessons, they learned to breathe underwater, kick properly, and swim confidently. The instructors are great—patient and encouraging. It was a fun and positive experience for our whole family. Highly recommended!
My kids are having the best time with very friendly swim instructors and never want to leave! We appreciate the sense of community as well. Thank you!
The facility is clean and well-maintained. Staff are friendly, warm, and professional.
