Love the swim classes for kids -- the teachers are consistent and kind, love that I can swim while my daughter is taking lessons (it's the only way I get exercise!)

The variety and appeal to all age and fitness levels. The staff is uniformly helpful and friendly. Providing small equipment is helpful, like towels, yoga mats, barbells etc in case I forgot mine.

Actually, I don't use any of your programs and activities - they don't meet my needs or my schedule. I use the pool 3-4x a week and I appreciate the early morning hours it is avaialble, but I don't participate in the swim classes/ activities becuase they are too late in the day. For me, the YMCA is just the venue where I can swim laps. I don't know any of the lifeguards even though I have been coming for years several times a week. None of them have bothered to learn my name, even though I come at the same predicatable times and there are only 6-10 other swimmers in the pool when I am . They are not interesetd in getting to know the swimmers

generally a good selection of classes though it would be great if you could find a good class to fill the 5 pm slot on Thurs (it used to be Step). Seems a pity to let such a prime timeslot go to waste.

I enjoy swimming in the morning 3-4 times a week. I especially seeing the friends I know and visiting with them...

The life guards over the years who are friendly and talk to us and joke around.
Miss the social events we used to have at the Y, a few times a year.

Thank you

I love my dream team at Ross Rd YMCA.They are Delicio, Vernice, Nate, Jasmine, Liam, Teddy and Chris. I have been a member for close to 25 years. At the Ross Rd location. I have started paying full price for my son back when I was working. After COVID because I am disabled, I now get financial aid. I consider them friends and not as employees. They have gone over board to help me. Being disabled and homeless I depend on a Jackery as my power source. They allow me to charge it there, any help I've needed, they are always there to lend a hand. I have referred and I will only refer people to the Ross Rd location. I want to thank them all for everything.
