I don't know if it's because they are short on money, but the small pool here is often closed. The reason they give is a lack of lifeguards, which is totally ridiculous. By the way, out of the 5 times I've been here, it's only been open once. It feels like their pool schedule is a complete joke.

I signed my daughter up for a Ballet class paying a full non-member price. Unfortunately our experience wasn’t the best. I was extremely suprised to realize there was only 2 students including my daughter signed up for these classes. I figured the quality of instruction would be best for that same reason. After attending 3 classes I realized that the instructor gave more one on one instruction and favortism to another student due to more knowledge. I questioned what level this class was and she said it was beginner. Im not sure why she was more favorable of the other student if my daughter had no previous knowledge and was also a part of that class aswell. I don’t want to assume it might be due to them being the same race, but there was circumstances when she would expect my daughter to do the same steps as the other child when she clearly had spent more time with the other. Again this was only a 2 child class. I really am very dissatisfied with the experience of my childs first class. Last summer my daughter attended the summer camp and we loved it, I have been paying full non-memeber prices for both these programs and I am very dissatisfied this time around. I hope this brings attention to you and make the experience a better one for future families.

Dear YMCA Management Team, Hello, Although I am not sure who is currently responsible for managing the swim program and coaching staff, I feel it is necessary to raise serious concerns about the quality of instruction. The teaching quality of the swimming class that starts at 10:50 a.m. on Sundays is extremely disappointing. Some coaches show a lack of basic responsibility during class, spending much of the time sitting and waiting for the session to end instead of actively instructing the children. This has significantly affected the learning experience. All parents are paying for these lessons. This is not a free program. As a community-based non-profit organization, we sincerely hope the YMCA will continue to improve and uphold high standards, rather than providing careless and perfunctory instruction. We respectfully ask that the management team look into the Sunday 10:50 a.m. class and take appropriate action to improve the quality of teaching. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I want to leave a review on behalf of a family member who goes to the Flushing YMCA branch. This branch’s poor management and infrastructure leaves a lot to be desired. For context, the small pool generally has warmer water which is important and ideal for members with conditions like arthritis but it has frequently been subject to last-minute closures. The reason for this has been due to shortage of life guards. This has been happening for some time now and management should be able to fix this by simply hiring more lifeguards. Additionally, the water in the shower has always been cold. Overall, these issues should be able to easily be fixed
