What could we do to improve?

Keep upgrading the facilities - lockers/bathrooms (shower heads in women's room are harsh on the skin), restrict staff lockers to smaller lockers in family hallroom. There are very few tall ones and they have claimed 2 near the pool and I believe 2 more near the hallway. When coming to the Y with multiple sports bags for activities (spin/swim/pilates mat) they don't fit in smaller lockers and require multiple locks. Or, at least have them all on the hall end, leaving the other ones near the pool near the bench for guests. Schedule open play (drop in) pickleball for members as done at other YMCA's.

What do you like about your Soundview Famly YMCA Membership experience?

Almost everything...my only issues are with the pools and with the gym area.
1. It is very difficult to schedule swim time in either pool when there aren't classes or free lanes.
When classes end the participants stay in the pool chatting and nobody else can have room.
2. In the exercise area, there is not enough space for exercising given that big piece of architecture in there.
In addition, I believe the leadership has no willingness to do new things.
To be so stubborn and not embrace new equipment is silly and petty.
Many people would love to learn improve etc boxing skills. Yet, those kiddy boxing things are worthless. A couple heavy bags can be hung from that black apparatus with little effort and the problem is solved. Boxing has always been a great exercise, not just strength but balance, cognitively etc. there is a lot of wasted space in the classrooms and in that kid area.
That said, the employees and director are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met!!

Re pave the parking lot and entrance. Looks bad from the street. Need auditorium/gym, larger pool. The grounds need better maintenance
