Member Testimonials
Lessons started and ended on time, plus the instructors were very patient and kind with the kids.
I really like the instructors and the casual atmosphere. The instructors are very friendly and kind, welcoming to all participants including new members. There are no judgments or competitions. It allows people to focus on their personal best regardless of where they are on their fitness journey.
My little girls had their first ever swim lessons this summer at the YMCA in Waxahachie, and they LOVED it! Their instructor, Avery, was very sweet and patient with them. We would highly recommend the Y for people to take their kiddos for swim. All of the staff here greets you with a smile when you enter and are attentive.
Loved the ratio between the instructors and the students. Very patient with the children.
The instructors are good with my kids and are serious about water safety. I feel well informed as well
I like the size of the classes, the staff always got out and let us know the progress with the Children
Young energetic staff
Instructor were awesome!! They helped my grandkids learn various swimming strokes.
They learned to swim across the pool and how to dive. At the end of the lessons, the instructors always provided great feed back on their progress. It was a great time. Enjoyed by all.
My instructor was very helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciate her pushing me outside of my comfort zone. I have a lot more confidence in the water than I did before. I still need to work on my breathing technique, but I can now glide across the water and swim which I couldn't do before.
This is our second time using the Y for swim lessons. I he staff was great and moved my son to a different class more aligned with his skills. The only frustrating thing is the amount of times cancelled/rescheduled. I would call 5 or 10 minutes before class and they would say it was still on then two seconds after we park they call and say it’s cancelled. I understand things happen and weather isn’t always predictable but all the times I called it was pretty obvious and frustrating that there is not communication. I also think having longer lessons would be great, if there is 3 or more kids in the class they don’t get very much time in the water.
Small classes! They really connect with the kiddos
Clean, family friendly.
Great staff , all ways with smiles !!
Great atmosphere all around!
Very clean !
Front desk is always friendly and welcoming! Weight rooms are always clean, spacious and comfortable. I love the YMCA! My child and I have been going for years and we’ve never had any problems. Check in is fast and easy. The pool is a nice addition as well! So many classes for all levels and every trainer really cares about all of us.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful here. They have so much to offer from water aerobics to white machines to AOA and other classes. Great experience.
Everything
I enjoy some of the classes.
Everyone is very friendly and nice. My favorite part is the Zumba classes in the afternoon, I wish they did it every day.
I love all the different workouts offered at the Y! I enjoy meeting new people and to be around like minded people that motivate me to be healthier.
The staff is very friendly and there are Lots of good activities for all ages to choose from.
Very Friendly! Felt like family! People don’t stare at you if you are not already fit like people in other gyms do! Love the pool!!! Felt warm and laid back. Great place, highly recommend!
I love the Y. It is my go to place to see friends as well as to workout. I have been to other places in town, but the Y is still just the best.
It's a great place for exercise, fellowship and connection.

My 5 yr old granddaughter had private swim lessons & she learned so much in 2 weeks! She went from being afraid of putting her head in the water to going down the slide on the last day. She loved it & loved her instructor! Highly recommend!
I liked that the instructor did not push my child when she was afraid to put her head in the water and let her work at her own pace that she was comfortable with. I know that built trust and confidence in my child and she actually enjoys working on learning to swim instead of being scared about it. The instructor was kind and caring and I appreciate that.
The instructors were patient and explained everything correctly.
My sons teachers Catherine and Nicky were amazing, they were so careful with the kids and my son came out of the experience loving being in water but knowing how to respect it
The teachers are amazing! Both my 11 yr old and my 5 yr old have learned to swim. My 11 year old learned in the first 2 weeks and my youngest was almost there. So we signed up again but moved up my other daughter. And now my 5 yr old is so comfortable in the water and can swim too!
I also love they don’t overwhelm the teachers with too many kids and the pool is always clean! They have great attitudes and are super kid friendly. Highly recommend this program for anyone wanting to learn to swim!
Great staff and facilities
