Member Testimonials
My son has so much fun attending the YMCA sports program. The coaches are great, and there is a real sense of community when we go to the facilities.
That my son comes happy and says all the fun stuff he does at this camp
I enjoy that the lessons are well organized and gradually ease the littles into being safe and feeling comfortable. I want to commend Emj in particular for her enthusiasm, firm but gentle guidance and redirection, and excellent strategies for helping the kids (e.g., the way she explained to my daughter how to wipe water out of her eyes when she was freaking out).
There's always so many fun activities for the kids planned. After the first day of camp my son was asking me to stay longer the next day. My only complaint is that it feels a little disconnected from the parents as we dont really get to see the camp leaders as theres always someone checking them in and out of the camp. I know they are very busy and i appreciate all that everyone is doing to keep the camps running smoothly. it would just be nice if there was some way to know about my child's day each day.
It helps the children improve their learning skills and interact with other children.
The activity keeps my granddaughter busy and happy. She loves swimming especially
Safe, engaging, and reliable!
They really take the time to get to know your child and how to best help them through the day.
Everything

The swimming lessons was a great activity for my 2 years old. He enjoys the water and he had such a great time learning how to swim.
We loved the attention and the enthusiasm from the team
Reasonable monthly fees. Availability of classes and equipment.
My daughter enjoys her swim lessons and has made so much progress. We recommend the Haverhill Y to anyone looking for local swim lessons.
First time taking the Hydra Fit class. The teacher was immediately welcoming and made me feel comfortable joining the class. She also made sure I knew what was going on through out the class. I will be back.
They have the programs/facilities/equipment I want to use for a very reasonable price. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The location is convenient.
Helping kids with everyday safety in water and to improve swimming skills. The instructors are very pleasant
What I like most about this Y in particular , not just for swimming program but in general, they give opportunities to non members, allowing the community to also be part of the activities, they include everyone
Both of my children had an excellent experience either their spring swim classes!
the teams
Organized, lots of activities, plenty of options for kids, nurturing and loving
The Y has everything I am looking for. Small group classes to help me improve how I look and feel. Every fitness machine to work on every part of my body and we can also enjoy indoor basketball, pickleball, and other sports when it’s too hot outside. It’s so affordable that I signed my family up also so we can all enjoy what the Y has to offer.
I like that my child gets more outdoor exercise and social interactions
The YMCA offers a variety of programs and activities that are highly accessible and inclusive. They offer a very welcoming, safe atmosphere and are very supportive .
Consistently amazed with the staff’s ability to meet our son where he is! He is consistently coming home with fun stories and new knowledge, as well as interpersonal skills. We’ve been with this program for over three years and highly recommend.
Interactive learning for the children. Staff is always pleasant and helpful. Communication is great which provides transparency and puts me at ease. Activities such as karate and swiping provide essential skills.
Pleasant professional staff. They keep the children engaged in activities learning while having fun.

I like the hours of availability and the choices my kids have. They always have some story to tell me from their day.
