★★★★Oliver AGreat YMCA location. On the smaller side when compared to other YMCA locations. However I have rarely had to wait to use equipment. Pool is great. Note you will need to bring your own lock to use the locker room.
★Jacob&Jill LeeDO NOT sign your kid up for swim unless you want them to miss lessons from the incompetence of the staff. We had a paid-for- the-month certificate from PCA sent to them and several emails later and a visit to the front office on the day of and my daughter still couldn't join her class in the water since it wasn't processed. All of this was blamed on a staffing change. Apparently only one staff member knows how to sign someone up for swim classes. That person quit and we're out of luck. 2 classes missed now, still in limbo for registering for the classes we paid for.
★★★★★Pelumi Olaleye2025 Update: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (previously 4 stars in 2019) I had a great visit! The woman at the front desk was very kind and took the time to answer all of my questions, which I really appreciated. I enjoyed my time in the pool and had a relaxing experience overall. It’s important to not that it took like 10minutes before I could get in the pool and on top of that it was 3 people to a lane at some points because people were waiting for so long they asked if they could share one lane. I think implementing a way to better manage or limit swim time during busy periods could help things run even more smoothly. Other than that, it was a wonderful visit, and I’m definitely looking forward to coming back. I highly recommend this location! 2019 Review: I’ve always had positive interactions with the staff. The facility is clean, and my daughter absolutely loves the swimming pool. My only concern at the time was that the membership plans felt a bit pricey. My daughter is enrolled in swimming lessons here, though we weren’t able to become full members due to the cost.
★★★★★Cynthia DavisMy first day at the Ymca on Sat. 04/04/25. Was awesome. Alison and Grese helped me tremendously in the covered pool area. They went above and beyond for me. I am 66 elderly with a handicap. 2 other gentlemen were of great help also and the young lady lifeguard. I was in tears for the help I received. You rarely don't find good customer service.YMCA managers you should be proud of Alison and Grese. Thank you so much. C.Davis
★★★★Yi LiOur overall experience with YMCA has been good. We enjoyed the pool and comparably, the restroom is very clean with updated showers. We also took lesson here and the teachers are really great. However, the pools have hours that are impractical for most working families. As a gym, the membership fee triples similar gyms in the area. We enrolled here solely for the purpose of letting our little one swim. Besides the swimming lessons, the pools are barely accessible during weekdays and have limited hours on the weekends. As a family centric facility, management should really consider adjusting the hours. We cancelled our membership after realizing we are paying more than 100 for an hour of pool usage every month.
