About
The Davenport Family YMCA, located at 630 E 4th St in downtown Davenport, IA, is a comprehensive community center offering a wide array of programs and facilities for all ages. It emphasizes youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility through amenities like a gymnasium, a wellness center equipped with cardio and strength training gear, indoor lap and warm water pools, group exercise studios, childcare services, and various community spaces.
The Davenport Family YMCA maintains two indoor pools. The lap pool is typically kept at approximately 80-81 degrees Fahrenheit (26.7-27.2°C), while the warm water pool is maintained at a warmer 89-90 degrees Fahrenheit (31.7-32.2°C).
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The new YMCA building generally receives positive feedback for its modern facilities, including a nice pool, hot tub, family locker rooms, multiple exercise floors with city and river views, and an outdoor yoga area. Many appreciate its cleanliness and, at times, its uncrowded nature, seeing it as a significant upgrade to downtown. However, several significant issues were raised. Parking is a common complaint, citing too many handicap spots, insufficient visitor parking, and poor lighting at night. The swim lesson program received strong criticism for unprofessional communication, long scheduling delays, overly crowded pools during lessons, and instructor no-shows. Additionally, some staff members, including an older manager-type, were described as rude, and lifeguards were criticized for their harsh communication style with children, frequently yelling and whistling instead of engaging appropriately.

New building. Arconic meeting room, elevators, family locker rooms, plus separate locked rooms nice pool, hot tub. Three floors of exercising large windows with nice view of the city and river. Outdoor covered padded yoga area . Only thing I see missing is better parking and sunshine inside like the old y where you could do yoga indoors in a warm sunny spot. That was priceless. And Too many handicap spots leaving all the visitors to park farther out with small children etc and not enough lighting in the parking lot at night.

Signed me and my 6 year old son up for private swim lessons in June. First off they are texting back and forth instead of calling to communicate about the services. it took us a whole month to get scheduled for our lessons after paying. We finally got to our first lesson and it was so many people in the pool it was such a distraction to my son he couldn’t focus on the lesson. They should definitely have a time for only people with swim lessons to be in the pool. And today was supposed to be our last day we get there and the instructor isn’t there and claims he messaged the wrong person saying he wouldn’t be able to make it. They are so unprofessional and unorganized I do not recommend for swimming lessons.

I think the new Downtown YMCA is great. Great staff. Nice facility with a cool view of the Mississippi River. A very nice upgrade to our downtown.

Very nice building, but some of the staff not very nice.The older lady with the short hair very rude!!!!!.. I think she’s a manager. now let’s talk about the pool area. Lifeguard do not know how to talk to children. They sit on their chair, yelling and blowing a whistle no splashing no Playing… I get it safety first, but there’s a way you talk to children specially when they’re not yours.
