The staff who ran the before and after care programs at Brookdale Elementary were amazing. They made sure that my child was taken care of and had fun activities to do.
Awesome, my daughter has become a great swimmer due to YMCA.

The classes are small and the instructor was well trained.
The child care staff are wonderful with the kids
The twins love their swim teacher
The teacher that my daughter has is wonderful. Ms Natalie!
Good quality for the price.
Love swimming at the big pool. I'm there every other day or so. My only constructive feedback is that I wish the lifeguards could help and be a little more hands on when people need to circle and don't want to.
Lessons were fun. I feel more confident about my baby being in the water and he seems very comfortable now.
Instructors are patient, friendly ..
My child loves the staff, and they do a great job of engaging with the kids on their level, while making them feel important and comfortable. We have loved aftercare and our son begs us to pick him up late everyday!
Reliable, quality care
My son loves the YMCA aftercare program. He has a lot of fun with all of the activities, especially drawing with the counselors. Whenever I pick him up, he is never ready to leave, so I take that as a good sign.
Excelente 👌
We love the facilities
These lessons are so fun and inclusive, it's a very warm welcoming environment for me and the ltitle one.
Hi,
My family has had a good experience with Y swim lessons generally.
My 2 children, age 9 and 11, enjoyed private lessons with Wadley, Desiree, and Marvin, all of whom were very accommodating, as my son has some attentional issues. They were able to teach both children and the instructors kept the kids' attention with some different activities each week. We parents also had some suggestions, and these were incorporated.
My children also enjoyed and benefitted from the group swim lessons, and they improved significantly. The classes were well-managed and fun, and every child got personal attention. My children had to miss their most recent session because of injury from rock climbing, but we hope to resume. My daughter in particular enjoyed the lifeguarding lesson, and I found observing it to be helpful as a parent as well. In fact, a class for parents/caregivers would be excellent for those occasions when we are supervising our kids in a private pool or other location. Also, messaging in emails and/or in the Y regarding the importance & legal requirement to wear life jackets when boating (incl. kayaking & SUPing) would be a helpful reminder to families in the summer months.
Very good
Great staff and convenient hours.
Jane is a very good and patient swim instructor.
My son has been taking swim classes at the YMCA, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. He’s always excited to attend, which speaks volumes about how much he enjoys it. The instructors are incredibly patient and attentive, making sure each child feels supported and safe while learning. It's been a great environment for building both skills and confidence in the water. Highly recommend!
Love the after care team at Demarest! They incorporate various types of hands-on activities and engage in sports activities in the gym or outside on the playground.
I love how Armondo took the time to explain the stroke mechanics to the kids in his class. His style of communication works so well for the kids and kept it fun while they learned. He also adjusted how he explained things for each kid so they'd understand. It's a great experience for the kids and I saw huge improvements in my daughter's ability over the course of the lessons.
I think it's great!!!!! PERFECT!!!! I love it.
all the staff are extremely courteous. our kids are in great hands.
