Member Testimonials
We have been very pleased with swim lessons this summer. We were also members last summer, and had mixed experiences due to the inconsistency and quality of some of the instructors- but this summer has been much better. We’ve loved Peggy, Sami Jo, and Abby. Our kids have made so much progress in their swimming skills.
I also really appreciate the child watch teachers and how they engage with the kids. My 3 year old son was so excited to do a 4th of July craft while his sister was in swim class. Thank you!
Really enjoying yoga and swimming.
I really appreciate the programs and activities for “seniors,” as these are the ones I use. The teachers are excellent and the classes beneficial! I also like, though, that SW Austin Y is a family Y. I love seeing children there, engaging in different activities. I am glad that there are programs for children’s with disabilities. I also like the setting; it is calming to see trees out the windows and children and families in the playground and pool when using the walking path.
Very affordable, and wonderful (and helpful!) staff! Clean facility, welcoming and full scope of offerings.
I love our Gym.
Great instructors who are very patient. I took Adult Lessons with Nick and he was amazing. The cost is also unbeatable!
The staff is friendly
I like the overall consistency in the lesson schedule year-round.
Most of the teachers are very attentive to detail and enthusiastic about their class.
It is convenient that the indoor pool can serve as a back up venue during inclement weather in the summer, so no need to reschedule or deal with lesson refunds.
The price for lessons (for members) is very reasonable— which is of tremendous value since I have four kids receiving instruction.
The presence of swim league as a tangible goal to to which to aspire and its availability for continuing growth and maintain swimming skills after exiting swim lessons.
Great hire to have Sami Jo join the team. She is very knowledgable and helpful!
Swim instructors have been great :)

Swimming team ‘s Coach is very kind and expert.
My daughter loves to be in YMCA team.
Yoga classes taught by good people. And the pool which love, especially the outdoor one in the summer.
Varied selections and locations are usually easy to reach.
I've only used the gym equipment and haven't had a chance to look into your other offerings
Due to my schedule it's hard to enjoy all your programs but I like the facility. It's got a lot of workout machines & 2 pools & showers which is awesome! I also like that it's very clean.
I am a senior citizen and I love the classes specifically designed for seniors. I am fairly new to Austin and it’s a good way to meet people.
That there is always something to do for me and/or my family
I like the pool
I like Pilates.All instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. Child Watch at Southwest is great!
Yoga!
I like the outdoor pool. I usually swim at the TownLake Y, but like to get outside sometimes.
Family friendly!
Friendly staff!
Positive Culture
I loved tha facilities, some of the staff was not as helpful as the staff at Townlake. Told them it was our first time when we walked in and one of the three people up front politely said hi. If someone had told me it was their first time somewhere, maybe offer to show them around or check to see if they had any questions. Just a thought. Besides that, the facilities were nice and lifeguards were helpful. Love the option to attend any YMCA location! Very happy here.
Nice classes. A broader variety of yoga would be appreciated
I like the classes
We love that there is a indoor swimming pool. That is it open late and on the weekends. Rain or shine we have somewhere to go as a family.
Everything
The Y is very family friendly! I love the yoga classes with Rebecca!
