Member Testimonials
I really like this YMCA, the staff is wonderful and very accommodating. The group of women that I met at the "Y", I will just call the (OLG) Old Lady Gang are wonderful, very uplifting, encouraging and very serious about the classes that they are involved in.
I came in expecting to find maybe one of two women my age who were swimmers and taking part in the excise classes to my surprise there are many women(older) of color taking part in swimming and many of the other excises.
The myth that Black Women doesn't swim needs to come to this YMCA and watch these women who are in their 60 and 70+ swim laps.
I was overjoyed, to say the least, and even though I live in another surrounding city, I love coming to this Y to take my swim and my yoga class. It is a pleasure to see the ladies and participate in the activities with them.
My swim coach Mr. Illonga is WONDERFUL!!!! he has the patience of Job, I am so happy that I decided to come here and take classes not only do I take the swim classes I take yoga.
I also decided to join this Y. I am very impressed with the programs and the staff here at Andrew and Walter Young YMCA

I love that my son has a place to go and mingle with other children who like to do so e of the things that he loves to do. It's like he has a bunch of brothers! Thank you, your program is the best!!!
I use the lap pool primarily. My only real criticism is that the pool is not available for lap swimming on weekday mornings because swimming lessons are being given. I applaud that activity and think it a real necessity for black children to learn to swim. However, it should be possible to schedule swimming lessons at various times throughout the day so that the pool is available for lap swimmers e.g. between 8 AM and noon.
The facility is kept Immaculate there's always a lifeguard on duty. I have arthritis so I would like for the water to be warmer and I would like for there to be more activities for senior citizens thank you very much
There is something to do for everyone at the Y. It is family friendly, clean and a good environment to learn and grow with its diverse population!

I also enjoy seeing the young people and the older citizens using and enjoying the same facility.
