★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1We joined so that my wife could participate in the water aerobics program. She found it very enjoyable. I wanted to rent a locker, but the staff was unsure how to accommodate. The facility was very clean, and the pool ph was monitored closely. The hot tub was very nice. The water temperature was very warm in the pool.
March 15 · Steve SunkelThe front desk is kind and welcoming. The facility is old but well-maintained. Not our first choice location but not bad.
June 17 · P NiceYesterday was our first time at this ymca. The staff was friendly and we will be back because it is convenient. I do however have some feedback. I love that there is a pond on the property and wanted to sit outside. I noticed there was a picnic table but as I approached it was surprised to see it in terrible condition. The table is missing a whole piece of table top exposing nails that someone could hurt themselves on. I find it hard to believe that that table was not immediately replaced. I know this is a ymca but these tables are on sale for $89 at Lowe’s as we speak. The community deserves to sit and enjoy the space as it was intended. Having somewhere to sit on the deck would be nice and I’m sure increase the use of the space. There was also visible bottles and trash floating along the sides of the water. I really do hope that if nothing else, this table is replaced asap so the community can enjoy the spring and summer view of the wildlife in the water.
April 29 · Ashley BivensI’m here for the Pool.The pool is small for the community.My suggestion is to add 45 mins of adult swim in the evenings Monday-Thursday from 7:45pm -8:30pm then close Y at 8:45pm, especially during winter swim team season.As a couple, we are unable to do morning adult lap swim due to our work schedule.The hot tub jets have been fixed & working in 2025 !!!
