Testimonials

“All the staff at the YMCA are so friendly and helpful! I love coming to the Y.”

- Joyce Mainz, Y Member

"My kid loves being on a team. The coaches are great and really engage with the kids. His skills have improved and he enjoys making new friends. We always look forward to the new season.”

- Blair Marceaux, Parent of Youth Sports Participant

"In just six months of participating in aquatics programming, the skills my daughter has learned helped her to develop skills and confidence to go from barely being able to swim to making a competitive swim team. All of her instructors and coaches have had a positive impact on her development both as a swimmer and her overall development as a young child. Thank you to the Y aquatics team!”

- Jennifer Cauch

“Truly a family place, my kids enjoy kids club where they get to play with friends and do arts and crafts. The ladies that work in there go above and beyond. The group classes are great motivation and fun.”

- Megan Laudenslager

“What do I like about your programs? Where do I start? The ChildWatch and Kids Club, hours of operation, the app, the classes, and the facility are clean. The pool is enormous and well-kept. The equipment is up-to-date, and the equipment is modern and well-maintained. The people are wonderful and really care about their work. The locker room is tidy and always maintained. The splash pad is incredible. Overall I am so blessed by this establishment and I know you will be too!”
