Member Testimonials
I very much enjoy your aquatics programs and attend regularly three mornings a week. I appreciate the instructors and the fine workout. It is well attended on the days I attend.
We loved TomTaylor! Both of our kids are on the swim team and have had a wonderful experience. Coach James has done so much revitalize the swim team here at Tom Taylor!! It is a completely different experience than last year.
I love Tom Taylor Y. I have used all of the Y’s in Kitsap and Pierce counties and Tom Taylor is the best. Facility is well laid out and well maintained. I especially appreciate the Aquatics area. I take Leslie’s 10 am Aqua Aerobics classes MWF. She is by far the best AA Instructor I have encountered. Haselwood Y is closer to me, but I don’t mind driving the extra miles for such a great class. I also have taken classes with Lisa on Tues and Thurs and she is great.
Both my kids are loving gymnastics! We would love for them to be able to continue to improve and expand on equipment and space. We also love swimming and climbing as well as all the sports we get to do.
Gymnastics program is phenomenal. The coaches are so great woth the kids.
I love the aquatics/aerobics program!! I come three days each week and it is the best way for me to work out. I need the pool as I cannot work out on dry land. This is the very best program!
Easy to get to. Very friendly staff. Wonderful aquatic classes and equipment. Use of sauna steam room hot tub and pool is essential. Would love to see the hot tub redone it’s getting old. Really appreciate the FREE aquatic classes. Thank you
We appreciate the Adaptive Swim program! Our daughter's swim and water safety knowledge has succeeded way beyond our expectations. Her swim instructor Hannah is the best and we look forward to continue working with her. :)
It’s clean, friendly and offers something for everyone. I especially love the deep water aerobics on M-W-F with Leslie!
The classes are all great. I enjoy all the teachers.
I like the quality of the aquatic programs. I participate in water aerobics 2-3 times a week. I like the silver and fit aerobics classes. I participate 2-3 times a week.
I'm only involved with the deep-water aerobics & have been very satisfied with the classes & instructors. My only complaint has been the lack of communication on the app. The biggest was when the T/TH class time changed & it was never updated to participants. For a few weeks after I saw guests come in 45 min after the class had started. Aside from that, I have nothing but good things to say. The locker room is aways clean & the friendly staff at the front desk is a great way to start your workout day! Thank you for listening & please update your social media sites.
TTFY is the most accepting and welcoming organization I have ever worked with. The aquatics department in particular is more like my extended family than a group of people I exercise with.
The Y is great for those with special needs, great for thousands of kids, and great for oldtimers who have time to hang out. The Y provides great social opportunity; very important! I have lots of friends at the Y.
The swim instructors are amazing! My kids have had Ms. Jo as a teacher since they started lessons at 6 months old. She has always been fantastic and helped my children gain confidence in the pool.
We’ve also been lucky enough to have teacher Sandy. She’s helped my oldest child make huge progress in the last few sessions. We’re excited to have her again in the future and couldn’t be happier.
All of the staff at the Y are amazing. But I wanted to make special mention of those two instructors.
We've been members for just under a year and my children absolutely love it. They take swim classes and look forward to going every time.
My children take swim classes and this session the pool has been closed unexpected more than usual. However, the staff still try to get classes done and accommodate though very inconvenient and frustrating.
The staff is kind, welcoming and the facility is very clean. My children especially enjoy the pool.
Love the water aerobics classes!!!
We love the friendly staff. Huge shout out to Evante from child watch. My kids always look to see if he’s working.
Location hours and programs offered
Aquatics and yoga
Lap swim is very congenial. No problem getting a spot as members are so nice to share lanes. Best of all is the water aerobics or water hiit classes. Very friendly groups and the instructors are very good at helping you find your optimal activities. The lifeguards are awesome, informative and very alert to all that is going on in a very busy place. Last and best of all is the folks in the aquatics center who work so hard at making this a great experience for all. They are experts at making quick changes and accommodations for last minute pivots that allow us all to have a great day at the Y.
Instructors are wonderful. We love Ms Jo and Teacher Sandie. They have both been amazing at challenging and helping our children progress
We had Ms. Jo for swim lessons preschool level 3. She has done a fabulous job accelerating my son’s swim skills. She had goals for him and created a plan that helped him meet those goals. She was also a great listener, as she took the information I gave her about my son’s learning style and adapted her teaching to it. She even came to his last class to support and encourage him even though she could not teach because of an injury. Thank you Ms. Jo
We love Chelsea! She is so patient and encouraging with my four year old! She is so encouraging of my daughter’s fear of sticking her head in the water. Chelsea is so good at keeping all that four year old energy focused on learning the swimming skill. My daughter made so much improvement in just a few classes!
I really enjoy the YMCA and the opportunity my kids have to learn and explore different activities
Very friendly and encouraging atmosphere.
We have done a few rounds of swimming lessons at the Y. For the younger kids levels that can’t really swim yet it is really hard if you get a class that is full with 5 or 6 kids. It is too many for one instructor and the majority of the class your kid is just hanging on to the wall. However, if there are only 2-3 kids in these classes then they have a much better experience and actually begin to learn. Right now both my daughters are the only 2 in their morning class and it’s the first time they are truly progressing. Sandi has been a wonderful instructor. Would completely recommend her.
We love coach Lina and gymnastics. Amelia’s learned so much and her growth this year has already doubled what she has learned elsewhere. A larger gymnastics space to continue her and her fellow gymnasts growth would be amazing!
