The Warm Water Pool has been a life saver for many of us who have arthritis..This pool is always well-maintained. The Lifeguards are always on task. I love they way the Y allows the water walkers and the lap swimmers to share the lanes at the same time. The pool is efficiently utilized throughout the entire day. The building is immaculate.The locker rooms and bathrooms are always kept clean. The Greeters at the front desk are always friendly and welcoming. I see why it is called the “Dancel Family Y.” There is always something for everyone. Clearly, the top leadership at the Dancel Y has the entire Y operating like a well-oiled machine. My husband and I go there several times a week. We love it!

Would really like it if instructors would STOP reading affirmations to the class. I don't need to be told I'm special or to be kind or to do no harm to anything. Other than that, I really like the Y.
