Member Testimonials
I love the facility. It is so clean! The staff is so nice. I primarily go to the pool exercise classes in the morning and the people that attend all appreciate the Aquatic staff. The classes are so popular that sometimes the pool is too crowded, but we figure it out. I am glad more sessions have been added.
I brought my grandchildren to the Y to swim and I wish there could be a number of free passes for grandchildren on Saturdays, just like there is for Bring a Friend Fridays.
