The people
Can set my own hours
I actually live in Thurston County, and am a member of the Briggs Y, but I often go to the Lakewood Y to swim because lap swimming is rarely available at the Briggs Y. They have it on the schedule but there are typically only 3 or 4 lap lanes available (maximum) and they are usually occupied by people who are simply floating around, or walking. In Lakewood, however, there are enough lap lanes available mid-afternoon that someone like me, who actually likes to swim for exercise and not just float around, can have access to that.
What I like about the YMCA is there friendly personnel, the wide variety of classes that they offer and the cleanliness of the facility. It keeps me going back for more.

I really like the line dancing class on Fridays. I love going and learning new dance moves to try out on the weekend! I would love it if there was a Wednesday class available! I prefer to do other things on Friday and it's the only day there's line dancing!
I love the location in Lakewood, and I like that it always looks clean and organized. Regarding the classes, my comment is that some of the instructors need more attention from the staff in charge of them; often, the kids waste a lot of time doing nothing because the instructors are distracted or just playing around. In my opinion, that is wrong, because they are in swimming class to learn, not just to waste time—especially since the classes are only 30 minutes long. If that time is wasted, it’s a loss of both time and money.
Really really nice people. Lots things to YMCA I like their place.
