What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this YMCA branch are largely negative, highlighting significant concerns regarding the facility's condition, safety protocols, and staff professionalism. Common complaints include outdated and poorly maintained equipment, a high number of items in repair, and an awkward layout. Several members expressed serious issues with lifeguards, citing inconsistency in rule enforcement, a lack of understanding of safety policies, poor communication skills, and leadership's inadequate response to these concerns. One user was disappointed by the removal of specific equipment they valued. There was also a negative experience with camp staff regarding public park access, described as hostile.

Terminated our membership within 6 months. I agree with other comments regarding the poor state of equipment and the number of items in repair. I’ll add that our experience with the lifeguards in the pool was extremely negative. the lifeguards do not seem to understand their own safety policies and when they apply. the life guards are very inconsistent in the application of rules (policies) in the pool area - even from person to person at the same time. The Branch leadership and Org leadership leave too much up to the lifeguards ‘judgment’, which org leadership has noted is prone to error. From our interactions, Lifeguards encountered appear to lack basic communication skills , basic problem solving skills, and a fundamental understanding of common swim items and swim concepts (can’t identify a life vest). In conversations with Org leadership, they hide behind excuses of hiring minors to be lifeguards, which isn’t a comforting thought, and arguably not an appropriate stance. All up, I don’t see this group taking safety seriously enough for us to remain members. As a final thought, from the people I encountered, several shared what I would consider outdated, questionable views. Thank goodness there are other options in the area that, from my evaluation, are much more consistent with and diligent about safety.

We started by sending our 3 year old son to YMCA mill creek’s stage 1 - water acclimation here. He has never had water or swimming pool interaction prior to this. The instructor I was very friendly and went extra mile in making him comfortable . I will recommend this place for swim lessons

Just got rid of the Precor AMT. extra depressing since they were the only SnoCty Y to have it. I drove 30 minutes to use it. Besides that run down and awkward layout. Giving it 2 stars because my grand kids do ok in the day care for my daughter. I will not be back.

For the price of a Y membership, they really need to be updating this facility. Super outdated, typically quite hot, worst of the Snohomish County YMCAs by far. Everett and Mukilteo are better (still not fantastic).

It is extremely disappointing that they use a very large area of the Silverlake park for a few months of the year and block access for all stakeholders all year round. I was walking my dog through the park and was approached by staff of the camp insinuating that I walked through a barrier in which I did not. This person‘s attitude was not that of a government employee, it was very hostile. I recommend that a better job with our tax dollars and actually make an area that they can reasonably accommodate for the camp when you stop stop
