Outdoor pool complex with summer camp at the Brandywine YMCA.
The YMCA Hanby Outdoor Center features an outdoor pool for recreational swimming and lessons. Specific daily or average pool temperatures are not publicly disclosed; however, YMCA pools are generally heated to a comfortable range for various aquatic activities.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews for the pool are overwhelmingly positive, praising its cleanliness, peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful landscaping. Many highlight the excellent, kind, and conscientious lifeguards and staff who ensure a family-oriented and welcoming environment. The pool is considered fun for kids, featuring a slide (requiring a swim test), and is suitable for swimming lessons and lap swimming, with sufficient space. Common suggestions for improvement include opening earlier on weekdays, providing a shallower area for younger children, heating the pool, and better management of ball-throwing during crowded times to prevent incidents.

The pool should be heated. Also when it is crowded, why do you let people throw balls in the pool? I was hit by a ball last week. Other than that it is a cool place to go as part of your Y membership.

Great pool! Very family oriented, the life guards & staff are the best. They are always available to help you in any way plus the life guards are very conscientious while watching everyone in the water the way they are suppose to. Everyone can feel comfortable & welcome here!

Review for just the outdoor pool as my family with kids only uses this center for that. Great pool and fun for kids. Well staffed with lifeguards and they do a great job looking out. There is a slide and kids do need to pass a swim test to be able to use it. Plenty of seats and open grass area to enjoy the sun as well. Only complaint will be wish they had a shallower area for younger kids but they do have steps area where my kid will end up playing by.

Awesome pool, just REALLY wish it could be open earlier on weekdays (even 1pm would be better than 3!) There's only two lanes to lap swim but that's never been a problem as I've always been able to hop right in. It's very clean and peaceful, the lifeguards are great and kind, and the surrounding area is just gorgeous.

Beautiful landscaping. We've been twice for swimming lessons, and so far the pool is clean and safe. Our instructor Ms. Sarah is amazing. There seems to be enough space for social distancing, although we've only been there early in the morning. Highly recommend for lessons or just a relaxing day at the pool!
