Member Testimonials
In just 8 lessons over 2 weeks, our 3 year old who could not swim independently previously was able to jump into the pool and swim back to the wall to get herself out as well as float on her back for up to 2 minutes at a time. Money and time well spent!
This is our first time doing swim lessons (with the YMCA or elsewhere) and we loved it! Our 9 yr old was a decently strong swimmer to start with but we were looking to improve her swim stroke and make her more comfortable in the water. The swim coach was great, made it fun for the kids and she learned so much in 2 short weeks. We will most definitely be signing up for additional classes so she can build on what she learned.
I joined in 2011 on a suggestion by a dear friend. I have grown so much in faith, community involvement, my physical and mental wellness and made a ton of friends! I so appreciate the level of commitment to all families and their children. I enrolled my older brother and his two kids. When they could up to Dallas from South Texas the first request was eat Mexican food and go to the Y!
I was the best sister and aunt ever! The kids participated in everything they could including go swimming every day!!
Indoor pool. plenty of weights and exercise equipment. Pleasant helpful staff.
We are new members and so far are having a great experience!

The facility is always clean and the staff is friendly.
Tailored to fit my son’s needs.
Greyt classes & instructors.
It is really nice learning experience specially with the help of great facilities and trainers.
All of the wonderful Staff Members AND PickleBall players!
The Y has truly been a Godsend for our family.
During tough times the Y has been a constant. From the welcoming smiles as you walk in the door to the great workouts. When leaving there is that feeling that comes from knowing we have worked on our self care in such a warm atmosphere. Thanks Ditty and staff.

Friendly staff, cleanliness, updates equipment, outdoor pool ! Great place for the whole family!
Mattie was so great with the kids and they’ve learned a lot
I’m not certain that this is the type of answer sought with the above question, but here goes … The majority of people at this location are pleasant and helpful. Before joining, we had visited and enjoyed meeting a welcoming and informative person who had answered our questions and given us a nice tour of the center. When we returned a few days later to join, our experience was quite different. Actually, we left questioning our decision about having joined because of the personnel - not because of the facility or location. Our greeting upon our second visit was lukewarm at best and the person assigned to take our application was not very knowledgeable about the process. Multiple times they sought the assistance of someone unlikely to win any popularity or most helpful contests. Our visits to the center since joining have been ok, but not (at all) what we expected as far as friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The facilities are great. We are hopeful things will improve over time and the Simones Family YMCA becomes a favorite place to visit and recommend.

The remodel of the lobby allows for friends to meet
My kids came back so happy, sharing all the incredible experiences they had and friends they met. My daughter who was bullied at school the past couple of years came back with nothing but positive things to say about the other children and counselors. This happened to be our last minute plan while I was in summer school but after the hurricane in Houston, my house had no power for 9 days so had to pick them up and find a camp while my husband stayed with a friend to still go to work. So fortunate I found the YMCA. We may come back next year just for the camp any get away from the mosquitos and humidity. Thank you to all.
staff first - a warm welcome always! then facility that has everything needed for workout and community!
I love all the classes and the good teachers and everyone is so friendly! I love the fact there’s so many different classes offered too! It’s well worth the monthly fee👍
