Good teacher and fun place for kids
The instructors are kind and friendly!
We absolutely love swim classes at the Gordon Y! Not only is the pool fantastic but we've had some amazing instructors as well. Particularly our current instructor! She's currently (3/17) teaching the preschool aged level 4 class at 6:30 on monday nights and I think she's my favorite instructor yet. I think she handles the children well in terms of keeping their attention and setting reasonable and firm expectations, but she also is really working on teaching them and challenging them in ways that other instructors haven't. Sometimes instructors tend to let the kids just do the fun things and then don't correct flaws they see. I understand that the kids like having fun, but swimming is an important skill, and our family allows our swimmer to have fun in the water before and after class, so we appreciate when she is really LEARNING and taking it seriously in swim class.
The staff is friendly and my kids learn a lot from the teachers. They are always willing to educate me on what skills my kids might need to pass the current class. Love them ❤️
Instruction is great this session.
They're included in my membership price
The swim instructors are fun and relatable my daughter has learned so much and loves going
They don't put pressure on the kids to do the activities
They are included in membership, so my kids can easily retake levels if they are slow to progress without the pressure to move on and gain skills quickly.
The instructors are kind and so patient. Both of them did a great job at keeping the children focused and on task. This was our first experience with swim lessons and we are eager to sign up for more.
The Gordon 'Y' has been there for me when I needed rehab from surgery and the pandemic. Enjoying the Book Club this year! Thanks!
Pool and hot tub are the best in Pierce County...
I'm very pleased with Gordon Family YMCA experience. My 2 year old daughter and I started attending the Y at the beginning of January, just a few months ago. We do attend regualry. With my temporary financial difficulties we were given passes to join the Y for a few months and I'm in the process of getting a full membership for myself. For now, I'll just continue paying for Child Watch for my daughter and later I'll enroll her in classes. While I take care of my own well being through this challenging season in our lives, my daughter can be with other children for maximum 2 hours a day while I workout. That's a win win for both of us.

The teacher
My has had some anxiety about being in a particular section of the pool due to a traumatic experience but with the guidance and reassurance from the swim instructors, he isn't afraid anymore. We wish they would keep the same instructor at the same time each session because consistency is key to learning and growing. I also feel my child is extra safe in the water because the number of lifeguards moving around as they monitor the water.
The teachers are so amazing! Always remember my kids names and take such great care of them.
