Member Testimonials
I mainly just use the weight room and get on a recumbent bike on my recoup days from weight training. I am really impressed with the very clean facilities. They are kept in immaculate condition. I have swam in the past once and was impressed with the clean pool and water condition. Great staff at YMCA Southwest!

Swim instructor; weight machines
for an 83 year old, i use the bicycle and walking track. i like the equipment being indoor.
My gym experience has been great. Everyone is wearing their mask at all times, wiping down their equipment when they’re done working out, and everyone is trying to social distance the best they can. The gym is nice and clean with plenty of signage reminding occupants to wear mask and social distance, temperature checks every time ...I feel safe😀
Thank you for all you do.
Outdoor classes, friendly staff, clean facilities, mask policy. Thank you!

Variety and availability of early evening classes
A lot to choose from!!
Being there for us when we need it, flexibility, responding to change. The outdoor pool has been a wonderful example of this for the past year. It has made a big difference in my quality of life. Joe and the life guards are the best!

MaggieCarter is great!
I like the different classes you offer for kids, I like the discount members receive. Also appreciate Peggy, the swimming program coordinator, for working so hard to accommodate all the incoming requests from families emerging from Covid-19 isolation.
I have been attending the Southwest Y for 11 years. I have found the staff to be knowledgeable and welcoming. The facility is always well maintained. The variety of classes has been great. Even during the pandemic, the availability of on demand and zoom classes has been great.
Body pump is awesome!!! We love the pool also!
We wish there were more things for the kids to play with/do in Childwatch. My kids say it’s really boring and I’ve heard other families agree. I feel bad dropping them off. Please bring back toys that can be cleaned between use or rotated around in small groups. Stories or crafts are also an option. Also, we miss Mrs. Joy! She made it so fun!
Inexpensive
The water aerobics class taught by Maggie Parsons.
Excellent membership communication & supportive staff.
Love the outdoor pools at the SW YMCA. The water temperature in the lap pool is very comfortable, and the setting is beautiful. Thank you for keeping the outdoor recreational pool open, so that I have a place to take my grandsons ...
I like the organized and efficient way you can book lap swimming online. I like how precautions are taken when you check in, and how the lanes are spaced. I even noticed the lifeguards spraying down the exit bars and around the perimeter of the pool. It feels very safe but I am also fully vaccinated.
There is all I need as far as equipment, indoor track is great, when it reopens all of the aquatic facilities will be part of my regime.
Our family really enjoys the outdoor pool and we are so glad it has reopened!
