Member Testimonials
Aquatics department seems very organized now. Peggy is fantastic. Our instructors this summer have been wonderful so far. We have not used the other facilities since the pandemic, but we look forward to getting back to it.
Everything!
The team at the Y is amazing Mr. Bred at Buda was an amazing help on every game and super friendly thank you so much.
The people connected with the program, coaches and admin.
I personally love the aquatic classes! I can’t wait till there are more spaces open so I can for sure make it into a class!
I strongly appreciate the care that YMCA SW is taking in providing virus safe classes via limited class sizes and spacious rooms
Great place, staff is always so friendly!
I am enjoying the indoor pool for aerobic water activities. I wish there were more morning times to reserve in addition to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Very nice swim outside. Friendly staff and lifeguards.
The coaches are amazing and encourages good sportsmanship
We love YMCA volleyball! Two of our kids have been participating for a couple of years. Just wish we'd gotten involved with it earlier.
I would like more in-person cardio funk dance classes. I'm not a huge fan of Zumba... a lot of us prefer more Pop songs than just latin music (with latin music, the moves are more "flowy" and you don't work up a sweat as much. PLEASE bring back in-person cardio funk dance classes. We had a great instructor -- Melanie Smith -- who is currently teaching Step & Strong out at the Springs Y. Would love to have her or their cardio dance instructor, Annette Hiller, teach in person at the Southwest Y.
Friendly staff, excellent equipment, and a nice aquatics program make the Southwest Austin YMCA a 10!
I just love that place it is literally the greatest
More voli bioll for kids
This program is wonderful for beginners and those kids that are wanting to play for fun. The focus is on individual improvement and team work.
Waiting to see what senior programs get added.
Swimming!!!
I love the water aerobics. I haven’t tried anything else.
We like coming late am how before close and walking in the track and using the machines.
The friendliness of the staff along with a clean environment
Love Sat morning spin!
They are fun and not to competitive. The commitment to practice and games is not too much. My kids have FUN!!!
Fun and casual atmosphere. My kid is not a professional sportswoman. I want her to work hard, move her body, improve her skills and most of all - have fun doing those things. The Y philosophy fits those goals. It is also more affordable than many other sports leagues. I do wish practice was a little longer each week, 45 min isn’t much time. Or, it could be 45 minutes but twice a week.
I love the "fun." Kids sports are so competitive these days, but y'all make it fun to learn and grow. The environment on the volleyball team was supportive and forgiving. My daughter thrived.
Nice choice of classes
I love the community feeling! Good job!
Rebecca was a great instructor for Yoga!
The outdoor pool, the staff, the yoga class, the "family" feel.
I like the staff first and foremost. They are so sweet and helpful and nice. I like the group strength classes. I tend not to lift weights when I'm on my own but enjoy body pump class.
