Fun for the kids, and I like that the days were back to back as oppose to spread out like at swim schools.
I did NOT like that the instructor missed a couple of days and then didn’t know if the children had advanced, and he did not advance much at all with the children. I appreciated that another male instructor advanced lots and helped the children know how to swim half way through the pool and back—it was a sight to see! The kids are capable if pushed a little and I wish they all did that.
The instructor talked to me after each class to give an update on how my daughter was doing. She also gave a report card at the end with what she'd learned..I also love the small class sizes.
The instructors almost always have high expectations without being mean or angry. My kids love them and are learning.
Convenient location
Zumba with Sandra and Violet keeps me moving.
Stat is friendly and helpful.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Both Swim lesson and Swim instructor was amazing! Will definitely be signing up for more sessions!
Carlos is a great instructor! My son loved every lesson.
Wonderful experience. Have always had very patient and encouraging instructors.
Trainers aren't playing around. They actually teach our kids how to swim
The positive encouragement of the instructors to help the kids gain confidence and also have a positive relationship with water while also encouraging safety. My kids can't wait to come back!
Great value, instructors are always wonderful, our child likes going to the lessons and shows a lot of improvement over each session.
Clean facility, friendly staff and good body pump instructors Amy and Alejandra
My daughter loved this more than I expected. There were a lot of activities - wow! Despite the heat, she loved the camp and was well supported by the counselors.
She complained that the restrooms on site were not usable, super stinky and unsanitary and that she was advised by the counselors to use them as little as possible. This seems solvable!
It was also tough that the drop off/ pick up was tough to use the restroom and it wasn't clear in enrollment that they would just sit outside in the heat waiting sadly. I thought the before and after camp times would be IN the YMCA, contained safely.
AMAZING PLACE!!
We had a great experience with COL. Our daughter participated 2-3 weeks every summer since Kinder and just wrapped up her last year now that she is 13. Each year was great and she loved the little summer-time community she built with the other return campers. Thanks for having such a cost-effective, helpful, and fun camp that we could depend on every Summer for the last 8 years!
It is convenient.
The variety of workout equipment and the friendly staff is what gets me to keep coming back. I made a pledge to get healthier and stronger this year, this YMCA is making it a much easier goal to reach
The emphasis on sportsmanship and player development over winning is why we like the Y.
helpfull friendly good classes

Friendly environment and good equipment.
Great staff and facilities. Something for everyone in the family
Camp on the lake is a full day of fun for the kids.
Friendly
My kids love going to camp on the lake. They love lake activities like the speed boat and canoeing and they love riding the bus to and from camp every day. I particularly love that they can have outdoor camp experiences without needing to spend the week away. If they could spend the whole summer at camp on the lake, they would!
Overall I think my daughter had a good time. She loved learning some camp songs and the activities. We had a bit of a rainy week so that was hard to get in water time. I think my only comment for improvement was the energy in the morning at drop off. Some of the staff were a bit quiet at drop off and I think a few more smiles and good mornings would have eased my daughter's nerves.
We had had weather the week we attended but my son absolutely enjoyed the last day of camp. That one day alone made me want to send him again next year.
Seeing people from all walks of life and ages participate in various sports is nice.
I wish someone had notified me about the power outage on 5/28.
Great price point, good selection of times for lessons
VERY impressed with our swim teacher Josiah at the Richardson YMCA! He was patient and encouraged our children to try new skills. He clearly explained each component and gave specific, kid-friendly feedback.
We will be definitely be back next summer to continue our kids’ swim lessons!!!
