The Masters Swim Team is a great group of people and excellent coaches.
Parents night out
Parents night out.
Laura and Jamal were very friendly and professional. Laura introduced me to the facility and programs and to Jamal who showed me how to use the equipments.
I have been there just twice but so far I am very happy.

My husband and I found it difficult to find the time for us to go out and talk and just be together. Life's hectic schedule just seemed to not make it possible. Now we look forward to Parents' Night Out because it gives us "us" time that every relationship need.
Great staff, fab facilities, we love spending time at the Y.
The comradeship among Picklball players, our leader/ Chief coach Charlie Brown and staff makes us go to YMCA in Ellicott City.
My family loves the Y! There are so many different activities to become involved in. We highly recommend becoming a member.!
The Y is fun, great people and classes.
The Y has an excellent fitness room with three complimentary personal training sessions for new members. They also offer a huge list of great group classes including yoga, spin classes, pickleball (these are the ones I've taken personally), and many others. Staff are always friendly.
Everyone is so nice and helpful!
Great atmosphere

Neighborhood experience and everyone is kind
Very courteous and exceptional service from start to finish.
The masters swim is a great program. I just joined in the fall 2021 for the first time and the coaches are great and have a workout planned out that accounts for the range of skill levels. The other participants are friendly and welcoming.
Love the friendly staff, the great classes offered and the amazing equipment.
Thus class was great and fun. The coach was very calm, patient and encouraging with the children. My son unfortunately was not enthusiastic about the activity, but this is no reflection on the coach, he was fab.
The swimming lessons at the Y Dancel are terrific. Just coming to the Y is a lovely experience. All the staff are so welcoming, knowledgeable and good at what they do. I would recommend the Y to anyone.
Charles is an excellent instructor and very encouraging. I wish he could run more clinics.
My son had a great time, his basketball skills improved :)
So much fun socializing and making new friends while we exercise and play Pickleball. Charlie Brown puts it all together for us!
