Nice facilities, great instructors, we had a good ratio in our class, can definitely see our daughter making progress
Armando was really great to work with. He was extremely patient with my neurodivergent child. Other swim instructors would tell me they couldn’t work with her because she didn’t like putting her face in the water but Armando gave me advice on what I can do to help her.
The instructors have all been great to work with. They approached our son with kindness and patience, and they met him at his proficiency level, giving him space as he started to get a better grasp of swimming. Our son especially did well when Josh stepped in for the zero-level group, and we think he made a huge difference in our son's comfort level with being in the pool. Thank you!
My daughter loved it. She felt really comfortable with the instructors and learned a lot!
I really appreciated the cleanliness of the building. Every time I go, I feel safe and feel that my child is safe. The swim class is a fun, relaxed, space where my son was able to enjoy and explore the water. Claire was very kind, laid back, and has a great way with children. My son is always excited to "go swim".
What I’ve appreciated over the years—both in the past and present—as a member is the consistently welcoming atmosphere. When my sons were toddlers through their young adulthood, there were always plenty of kid- and family-friendly activities, from swimming lessons to family swim nights. We also benefited from other great offerings like child care and summer camp. For my husband and me, we especially enjoyed the adult amenities, including the weight room, swimming classes, and a wide variety of exercise classes.
My instructor was amazing!
I thought Gaudy was great. She taught us gradually and logically. I had swimming lessons when I was a kid, then big group lessons at the Y in 1990. I learned things I never knew and my stroke is getting stronger. It's a great feeling. Thanks!
Yes I like
My daughter has had a fantastic experience with Faith and I can see how she has improved each time I get to see her swim!
My daughter had the best day, everyday. She already wants to go back next year. Thank you!
Kids have been enjoying the lesson.
Claire and her team are fantastic with the kids. They are patient and nurturing.
It's affordable and not intimidating
The MTC YMCA offers a diverse range of classes throughout the day, making it easy for everyone to find a schedule that suits their needs. The facility is spacious and equipped with a variety of exercise equipment and areas for stretching or yoga, and two swimming pools. Most importantly, the MTC YMCA serves as a hub for community engagement. The staff and members are welcoming and friendly, creating a positive atmosphere for everyone—young and old, athletes and beginners alike.
My lessons with Janet and Gaudy were exactly why I wanted to take lessons-- they helped me to overcome my fear of entering deep water. I still can't tread water for a long period, but thanks to their patience and skillful teaching, I am getting more comfortable in the deep end.
The comfy new furniture!
Amazing teachers and amazing classes!!!
Billy, my instructor, has the patience I need to focus on the lesson and not just the water
I like the variety of classes offered at the YMCA. The instructors are good and the classes have helped me in so many ways. Participating in the Prevent T2 Diabetes Prevention Program has been extremely helpful. My Doctor was very impressed with my latest weight and most of my numbers have been lowered to the normal range. They were quite excited and wanted to know what I have been doing? The YMCA classes and programs get all of the credit.
The lifestyle change is important to keep up and I see the need for continued work and classes. Thank you for helping me to help m myself.. Greatest compliment from my Dr. quote "I want to be like you when I grow up'.
Again thank you for helping me to take control of my health. First name removed Russell Last name removed
I like that the kids are divided in 3 small groups (1 adult to 4 kids ratio) which gives the instructor a good amount of time with each child to help teach the child swimming techniques. The kids are taught different things in the water which enhances their ability to learn how to swim. Overall it's a nice swim program for the preschoolers & I would recommend the program to friends & family.

Ms Tracey always provides a group and individual feedback/recap of each day.
Desiree was a most patient and fun instructor!
My son really enjoys swimming...the instructors work well with him.
Miss Gaudy is an amazing, warm and patient instructor! Jessica has been incredibly helpful in arranging our schedule. The front desk staff are also helpful and love to say hello :)
I appreciate that the Y is so inclusive. Also that there is such a range of fitness activities and classes
Ease of scheduling and variety of classes, community
I like swimming in the large pool, well-maintained and not too much chlorine. I like the super clean women’s locker room with showers and sauna.

Our instructor Janet was great, everyone was friendly and helpful at the facility and the pool and locker rooms are clean and spacious.
