Sarah is incredible with my little one. He just moved into this class after an infant/toddler class. This is his first time without me being in the pool with him and he has done great! Sarah is very patient and tailors what she’s teaching to his level of understanding (he just turned 3 in August). I’m hoping he gets Sarah again on the next round of swim lessons
Keyonna has been such a great fit for my kids. She is tough when needed and pushes them to do better. She makes swim lessons fun and my kids love learning from her!!
Keyonna is phenomenal! She is fantastic with my kids and pushes them to be better swimmers. I have seen tremendous improvement with my kids during these few weeks
I love everything about my Y experience! The counselors are friendly and helpful, which contribute to the family feel. The childcare is a life saver! It's always a clean environment!
Good teaching.
The Y is very friendly they are not the type of gym that is commercialize so you don’t have to worry about showing off or dressing to meet the fives. Also what I really like is how comfortable I am
Family-friendly atmosphere
The instructor is very patient and understands my fear of water. I don’t feel pressured at all.
My children loved Kids Night Out...all three of them ages 9, 7 and five. I hope to sign them up many times again when it is offered.
The staff is wonderful - they are always welcoming and friendly. I always feel at ease working out at the Y.
Kids have so much fun! Staff are nice and welcoming.
Everything!!!!
I love the YMCA
I can go almost any time I want. Have nostalgia about the place. Stay n play is useful when I'm available during the hours. The caregivers there are very kind and the children love being there. Fire pit is a huge plus at this time of the year. There is almost always a lap lane. The hours for free swim seem to always exist when the family is together and wants to swim. After all these years the coffee dispensers are still the same. Things come and go at the Catonsville Y. The place can be pretty much demolished and rebuilt but the coffee stays the same.
Our family loves the Catonsville Y programs for our 7 year old.
I've been exercising at a YMCA since I was a child. Though it's pricier than other gyms, the quality is consistent and the staff are wonderful.
The history
The staff is friendly, the gym is clean and not too busy which means I never have to wait for a machine!!

The staff are polite and professional.
