Member Testimonials
This was the best experience I’ve had with swimming lessons. My child did so well and learned great techniques. Her instructor was MaKenna, she was amazing, and showed great patience with my child. She came as a beginner swimmer but with the way the instructor taught the class she ended on level 4 within 2 weeks. I have already signed my child up for and additional 2 weeks and plan to come back every summer. Thanks YMCA at Rockwall.
My son is having so much fun learning how to swim with the swim instructors! They are friendly and knowledgable. He went from dog paddling to swimming freestyle and backstroke in just 2 weeks. I'm very pleased!
They teach very well
Very nice and clean facility. Instructors are great!
I love that the kids can participate in a variety of activities from swimming, canoeing, archery to sports and arts and crafts. Angel camp has amazing camp counselors and directors who have the campers best interest at heart.
I ❤️ the water aerobics classes! As I enter the building, there are friendly smiles, it’s clean, and very well organized. The smell of fresh coffee is wonderfu!
Thank you ,YMCA,!
Our experience with swim lessons at the Y was wholly positive. The instructors were all polite and encouraging to the children. I would highly recommend.
Our instructor Audrey was very patient with my son and his classmate. She was very encouraging and made my son feel safe from the first day. She also communicated with the parents after every lesson. My son gained confidence and more independence in the water during his lessons.
Child watch is a great resource and the group classes are challenging. The cardio equipment is new and easy to use
My instructor Josh is really good. Patient, takes time to teach different aspects of learning to swim
Over the past three summer seasons I’ve seen my grandson improve a lot. Your instructors are so good with him. He looks forward every year to learning to swim more and more!
Clean, well maintained, visiting with friends, friendly staff, my wife enjoys water aerobics

Grace is an amazing instructor. Our daughter has made so much progress in 2 weeks.
Our little guy LOVED Coach Holden! Thank you for teaching our little fish how to swim & not sink!!!
The Perry Family
This was a great experience for my grandchildren. They were guided through each specific lesson with kindness and encouragement. They had multiple instructors so they were exposed to different teaching methods and benefited from it. The confidence they both gained from their lessons is not measurable. Thank you s very much, I would highly recommend this program to others.
The instructors are kind and patient with the children. They model the swimming skills and encourage the kids to do their best. The workers at the front desk are friendly and the parking is chill. We have had an amazing experience at J.E.R. Chilton YMCA at Rockwall!
10/10 recommend, the instructor was very patient and helpful
The instructor did a great job!
The instructors were patient and knowledgeable. They worked on strokes, dives, and overall skills with the kids. My boys both enjoyed themselves and felt they learned a lot. They are both more confident in the water.
Luke was very good with my son
Wonderful staff and camp. It’s so great to have a place that our daughter can go that will accommodate her needs and we feel safe sending her to. She gets to experience camp like her siblings and we are so grateful to have the expense covered by sponsors.
We tried AquaTots last year which was a one day a week class, and my boys showed no progress as they were terrified of the water. Since the lessons at YMCA are every day for 2 weeks, by day 3, the boys were past their fear and having a great time! They are now willing to go underwater which is a HUGE accomplishment for then! The instructors were awesome and so patient!
I have tried for years and used many different people to help my son learn to swim. Natalie gave him the confidence and encouragement that he needed to finally make it click. I am so thankful!
All the instructors are super friendly and helpful! My son has learned so much.
The classes are awesome!
I love starting my day at 5am at the YMCA. it’s like a second family/home to me. The employees and members are just wonderful. Jami’s Body Pump class is awesome. The pool is awesome for lap swimming. The locker room is perfect for a post-workout shower before heading home. My daughters enjoy coming to the Y as well and there’s even a place for my little 2 year old grandson in the child care.
The gym is relatively clean and equipment is in good shape. Front desk staff always says hello when I check in.
Chilton YMCA is clean, friendly staff and patrons.

Cleanliness friendly staff and variety of classes
