About
Kids’ programs, a basketball court and bounce houses amid a sauna and clean fitness equipment.
The J. A. Walters Family YMCA maintains its 8-lane Lap Pool at a comfortable 80-82 degrees Fahrenheit, suitable for lap swimming, water walking, and water aerobics. The Warm Water Pool is kept at a warmer temperature of approximately 88-90 degrees Fahrenheit, primarily utilized for aquatic exercise classes, physical therapy, and family recreational swim. A seasonal outdoor water park is also available during warmer months.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviewers express widespread dissatisfaction with this YMCA, citing high costs for programs that offer limited value, such as summer camps requiring packed lunches and not delivering on promised trips. A major point of contention is unprofessional staff behavior, including rude remarks to children, public disclosure of sensitive financial information, and inconsistent application of rules, particularly during events like birthday parties. Management is criticized for failing to address financial assistance requests, maintaining confusing and restrictive facility hours (especially for the pool, sauna, and hot tub, which are often closed), and poor overall organization. A significant safety concern was also raised regarding a swim instructor who allegedly placed a young child in a dangerous swimming depth. These issues collectively contribute to a perception of poor service quality and management.

The YMCA is full of it! From paying so much money from $170 a week for summer programs, to 70$ a week during the week for school. Summer programs you pay all that money for your kids to have to bring there on lunch. What am I paying for? They didn’t go on half the trips. The staff made nasty remarks to my daughter that she look older than what she really was! 10yrs old! I asked for financial help filled out the application for it! Nothing years my kids went there! I mean decades! The staff made a remark about me picking up my daughter I didn’t even have to say her name. The lady said I know who your daughter is “you the lady that needs assistance. I didn’t find anything out until my 10yr old daughter came in told me what was going on. Then I get a email after I called the ymca. They don’t care. Come sending me emails about a balance! You will never get it! After I begged for assistance. No thank you!

Professional , tried many YMCA and health clubs. Moved here few months ago. pros and cons. Starting with cons: SAUNA: The absolute worst sauna I have ever witnessed. You can't really start to describe how bad it is. THE HOURS: They close the pool area from 1 to 4 (pool area includes pool, steam room, hot tub and sauna). The close the pool area on SATURDAYS at... 2:00 PM! unacceptable. Sunday open only couple hours in the PM. Pros: Great pool and Swim wide lane if you swim (WHEN ITS open , closed 1 to 5 unless its summer time where they have camps)

Fix the hours! Stop having crazy hours for the pool to be closed. Have consistent gym hours don’t change them and have the pool and sauna open if the gym is open. Realize that when your pool is closed so is the sauna. No one can keep up with y’all’s hours because they are constantly changing. Might be the only YMCA with such inconsistent hours.

Went to a birthday party here. First, they made the parents watch their kids thru the window because they were over capacity. Then, they came and told me my kid couldn't swim anymore because he was running with out even letting me talk to my child first to try and fix it. I let him get back in the pool part and the life guard said "no, like he's done for the day" but every kid there was running, mine was doing his little jog. But let's kick him out of his friends birthday and ONLY him. Its "nothing against my kid" and only 2 life guards to all them people is crazy. Also, I left my kids shoes and when I walked back in to get them, the front desk said to each other " There she is.. " And here I am. What about it. Terrible management.

My daughter almost drowned here! She had swimming lessons during kindergarten (around 6 years ago) her swimming instructor ~16 to 18 years old kid told her to go 4 feet dee even though she was only able to reach the 3 ft end. I feel angry on how "instructors" think they can do what they want to do.she is just telling us now!
