Member Testimonials
I like that the classes are small, there is only 1 class at a time and the kids are actually swimming. We have done classes at other YMCAs and they are done as well as Salem. My daughter is really advancing her swimming skills.
Ms. Jacquie is wonderful!
New equipment and great atmosphere plus sauna
Staff friendly and helpful - facility clean and bright. Enjoyed my experience.

The program was inclusive and engaging, and so much fun for the kids! The instructors were capable and kind, and made the experience special for all involved.
Nice, quiet friendly Y. Love the pool. I've never had to share a lane, the locker room is clean and quiet.
New Equipment, robust class schedule and offerings, friendly front desk staff.
Because it has the weightlifting equipment I need.
I love the Salem YMCA - it is just the right size; staff is great and knowledgeable. Love my small group training with Rick.
All swimmers can learn and grow in as athletes and have fun with the team while doing so. The coaches work with swimmers to grow their skills every practice. My daughter went from not swimming competitively at all to being able to compete and win in multiple races after only a few months.
Instructors are great! They interact with each child and work on skills individually to increase ability and confidence.
I like the small class size.
I like the way it is, the initiation to the water ect.
The swimming instructor is very professional.
Because working out there is friendly and fun.
The theater program has done wonders for my daughter. They accept her for all her strengths and weaknesses. They always find a way to positively frame her personality and energy levels. They lead with creativity and grace.
