Member Testimonials

That good sportsmanship and skills are taught throughout the season. I like that the focus is not just on the game itself. The kindness and patience of the coaching staff is appreciated

I’m happy With the small group for swimming lessons

We had a great experience with the soccer league at the Upper Main Line YMCA. The program was well organized and focused on letting kids learn basic skills while having fun.

Many classes to chose from and opportunities to swim or exercise on your own

Love that there is easy child care for me included in the family membership and the outdoor 50 M pool for lap swimming is fantastic!!

T ball coaches were awesome!

This was my son's 3rd soccer season and he continues to enjoy the experience. His coach (Jeremy) was great at encouraging and supporting the players as they learned how to play individually and as a team.

The league was a very welcoming environment for my son, who is new to soccer. They played the game, but the emphasis was on learning skills rather than being competitive.

I love everything about the YMCA. It has been a wonderful place for myself and my entire family. I love all the programs and everyone that works at the Upper Main Line YMCA!!!

Variety of things to do and times available

I thought it was a great way for kids to get introduced to soccer. My daughter had a great time.

The best Y I've ever been in - would recommend it to anybody.

I feel like you offer a wide variety of classes. Something for everyone. The pool is great! Love the inside pool too. Again , if too cold outside, have option to use indoor pool. Bathrooms inside are clean! Outside bathrooms by family pool are poor. Dirty and electric not working. Total darkness often. Hard when ya have kids. That would be my only concern. Maybe need to be replaced. The rest is great! We love UMLY!!!! Thank you!

I like the variety of programs, and the opportunity to do them, either in a group or as an individual. This includes the fitness center and the wide variety of exercise classes, as well as the swimming opportunities.

We love the Y sports programs. We've done Soccer and Basketball so far and can't wait to try more! The coaches are kind volunteers, that want to make a difference and encourage the kids to do their best. And last but certainly not least, the staff at the Y are something special. They know each child by name and truly care about them. My son has become more confident since he started participating in youth sports and it makes me so happy. We love the Y, because it's like being apart of a family!

I like Body Attack and Grit (although there should not be a charge for Geit because it's free everywhere else).

Helen Flanders, and all the staff, especially the swim guards---
Chris, Arnie, CJ, James, etc.

and the Swim Team staff--Lou, Drew, and Jamie and others.

The facilities are great. We enjoy the fitness, swim and tennis programs.

My child had fun and would come back next year if we weren’t moving. YMCA staff is great and so a wonderful job with the kids.

Great facilities and organization!

Excellent communication; games and practices ran on time; fantastic coaches and lead staff (Jonathan); appreciate the make up game for the one rained out

Team spirit and the overall feeling of inclusion.

The team atmosphere and how everyone feels welcome.

the coaches

Group classes and gym with variety of exercise machines.

Lap swim at both UMLY & Lionville.
Less crowded lanes would help.
The other problem has been the cleaning of the men’s locker rooms in Lionville. Why do you always (almost 10+ yrs) have them done in the middle of the day 1:30 2nd floor & 2:00 1st. It makes it impossible to get a work out in
During that time frame. Why not clean
At night or at least clean them 1 1/2 hrs apart. Life guards are very unfriendly at Lionville

I like your pools, child care program (drop off for 3 hours and leave and parents night out are great options to have with 3 kids). I am excited to sign my kids up for swim lessons.

I have really enjoyed the classes I have taken and the people I have met.

Great exercise classes, family friendly activites, kind, caring and professional employees!

The staff is great,very friendly and helpful. Facility is very nice,great plafe to bring the family,thank you UMLY.
