Safe,thorough swim lessons for my kiddos
Thank you Hailey! This was great I wish it was longer!
Excellent swim lesson opportunities. Great facilities.
The instruction is practical and to the point. I like that you can book short duration swim classes one after another.
I didn’t check last time, but I hope the outdoor locker rooms are open soon at SW YMCA. Also, the stingray sticker boards for the kids were not updated last I checked either. Please make sure all kids names are on there. They notice. Thank you!
My kids are loving swim lessons at the Y. All the instructors are wonderful and my children have learned so much in a short time period. Additionally, the Aquatics Director, Eileen, has far exceeded our expectations. She is professional, observant, hands-on, and overall a great communicator!
We love how accessible my son's swim lessons are. His instructors are caring, accommodating and supportive.
Overall, the instructors are good. Facility clean. It would be good to repair the wall damage in the men's dressing room near the container that swimmers dry their bathing suit.
Wide variety of activities for the whole family!
Good teachers ; Good replacement teachers Always helpful employees , friendly and nice
This facility is staffed with exceptional folks , it is always clean and welcoming. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to join or bring their family.
Group activities such as healthy fit for life and group yoga. Also the group swimming classes are wonderful.
Our favorite thing about the Southwest YMCA is the family-friendly vibe! My young kids love it there. We especially love the child-care and outdoor play area. Kids are enjoying swim lessons and we love the BodyPump instructors. All around a great facility!

Inclusion of older adult classes.
Southwest YMCA is a great community-oriented branch. There are lots of programs and offerings that reach out to our neighbors. The facility is clean & in great shape for all patrons.
SHAWNA Breashers is a phenomical instructor in and out of the pool. Give her a raise. And, while you are at in, upgrade the shower equipment and the condition of the lockers in the men's dressing room. I very much value and admire the work that the YMCA does in teaching youngsters how to swim and be safe in the water.
I love the friendly staff and inviting spaces at Southwest Y. It is so much quieter and more peaceful than other Austin Ys! And always love youth volleyball especially staffer Mike. Thank you!
It’s a clean gym with a positive and friendly environment.
I like:
how friendly everyone is
the quality of the instructors
the programming
We appreciated that the instructor was patient, knowledgeable and experienced while working with my special needs son. We liked that the classes were well paced which allowed him to become more confident in the water while also adding to his swimming ability. The small class size was a plus too.
