What do you like about our programs and activities?

I love the water aerobics and Julie, Carol and Sharon are terrific. Plus there are so many other options for improving and stating healthy. I'm 86, just had knee replacement and am intent on staying active....I may even return to tennis!!
The staff are all friendly, helpful and the "feeling" is good there. Would I like it to be new and flawlessly clean? Well, yes, but I can't imagine how difficult it
must be to keep everything functioning and immaculate.
I'm grateful that my insurance makes it possible to go and it is for many a place for socializing and friendship.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

The YMCA of Southwest Florida downtown Sarasota branch provides activities and programs for numerous ages and abilities. It is truly a community resource.
Under the new leadership, a tremendous amount of resources has been provided for upgrading equipment, for performing maintenance, and for hiring new management and staff. I am very happy to be a member at this facility.
