Very good and feel safe
I want to thank the Y for working to support the community and its members. I realize the need for restrictions and safety but I personally was missing the social interactions of people. Providing the outdoor exercise was a great idea and I am thankful for that!
I enjoy the classes and being able to try something new without judgement from anyone.
Reopening of the main pool at the Dancel Y has been going smoothly. The reservation system is easy to use and the pool procedures are well thought out with safety in mind.

I love the classes. I hope you start to do the indoor classes soon! The asphalt on my knees and shoes is a bit to hard to do the outdoor classes.
The Dancel Y is such a professionally-run organization, and the measures they are taking during the current COVID-19 pandemic are very assuring to customers.
Friendly staff. Excellent safety precautions
Hello,
I am really grateful to be a member of Y of Central Maryland for many years.
I was very happy and excited to see the Dancel center was open after the state
guidelines was permitted for the center to be open.
I enjoy everything at the Y as well as been close to the members and staff.
I truthfully appreciate their dedication, hardworking, passion for the members and the Y
itself. At this moment due to the Covid -19 Virus and restrictions I am using the common
area and the machines at the center. Which is still a great opportunity for me.
Hopefully in the near future we can use other parts of the center as well.
Once again thank you so much for been here for us during these unprecedented times.
