But the pool has many…read moreissues, there are 3 lanes, fast lane, middle lane and slow lane when it comes to swimming but the rules don't get enforced, you constantly have little kids and old people in the fast lane just hogging it swimming like they're on vacation. This makes getting an intensive workout in difficult when it comes to the pool, they need to enforce the rules. If people constantly have to pass you in a lane, you don't belong in a fast lane. Second issue is the gymnasium, you barely have time to play your favorite sport. They will dedicate hours of time to useless sports like tennis, soccer, pickleball? It's very inconvenient and not worth it. One thing I did like is the Sauna, the Sauna I had no problems with, it was never full and it does its job.

I usually love to go to Coney Island beach during the summer months but unfortunately when the winter months are here i cant go to the beach because its cold , so i come here to the indoor pool during the cold winter months . Thanks to Christina K. for signing up my membership . every time I'm off from work i come here to relax in the gym or the pool , just get away from my problems to relax my mind .in the indoor pool area there a life guard on premises and there place upstairs for parents or guest to watch and sit down when there swimming lessons in sessions !!!! P.S. There have lot of Kids activities , like summer camp and after school camp . There affiliated with the YMCA. i was doing some research i never knew YMCA started in London, U.K. (lol I'm reading this comment on someone review about the y , name : Mike H. , he mentions he rather leave his kids with Michael Jackson instead of this place or let his kids play on the highway , lol . Brooklynites mouth have no filter lol smfh , perfect example judge Judy she don't sugar code sh*t lol she a true brooklynite ) Very Convenient by the mta transportation: Bus: B44,B36,B3 Subway: (If you take the b44 bus to Northern Williamsburg direction you can transfer catch the 2,5-Trains at the Flatbush Avenue ,Train station to Manhattan and The Bronx ! , Or the B3 bus to Avenue U , Train station. Q-Train line . personally i believe the B44 bus is much faster than the B3 bus to transfer to the subway !!!!).

He has improved tremendously…read morehis courage and also allows him to exercise when it's cold instead of his fingers on the iPad. :) It's a regular school that's been rented out during non-school hours for swim classes. Scheduling is tough but the instructors are great and really care about the kids learning to swim. The facility is very clean even though the bathroom/changing rooms are very small. Parking is never an issue since there are over 50 parking spots. No worry about being cold because the pool is heated. It does get quite crazy during registration because of the limited time slots especially for beginner classes. They are expanding to a new location for the higher levels near Coney Island with a much larger pool which is needed for proper level 4+ training when they learn to glide. They also have adult swim classes on certain times but it's mostly younger kids here and mostly Asian kids. All students are required to have proper gear including a head cap and goggles. They also sell SwimKoi branded ones.

She has a group of about 10 students but she manages to give every student her full attention. Katie is adept at making students feel seen and heard and is good at anticipating our individual needs. She is engaging and funny and makes students feel safe in the water. I am in a class of adults. When Katie first meets you, she assesses you then provides instruction based on your skill level. I'm a beginner-beginner. The class meets in the pool of a HS in Brooklyn NY. The pool is large and more than adequate. The venue is a HS so don't expect much from the locker room and showers. The students are not rushed to move to a new skill. They are encouraged to practice drills until they feel comfortable. I invited a friend to join me and she is also enjoying the lessons.

There is a workout room, cardio machines, a dance studio and a gym. There are also music classes. Many activities for children and adults. The locker room is okay; it's at the basic level of clean.

We went backward in those 5-10 minutes daily (that is all that's left when you take 30min/4 kids who have to swim 1 at a time for safety) which was painful enough given the price and time to get there, get changed, shower up after etc. but she nearly drowned recently and doesn't even like swimming now. Really they need 1hr classes. All the other reviews are also accurate - rules you are told will change with each interaction.

I showed up at my usual time for three sessions and was told every time that I had "missed" class. No apology, no accountability -- just excuses. I really tried to overlook the cramped space, the tiny pool, and the even tinier bathroom, but this experience was the last straw. The way they handled their mistake was unprofessional and dismissive. The only good thing about this location is Griffin -- a fantastic instructor who is patient, encouraging, and genuinely cares about his students. Unfortunately, one great instructor can't make up for how poorly this place is run.
