Located inside of St. John's Northwestern Academies, our swim school is open year-round, so you can learn to swim when you're ready and continue until you've mastered the skills. We use gentle teaching methods and a survival-first approach to help swimmers of all levels become safer and more confident in the water. Our safe, fun, and effective teaching methods have made us the preferred choice for parents and students for over 40 years. Our confidence-building curriculum and small group swimming classes provide a consistent format and structure with one-on-one attention for each swimmer. Private swimming lessons are subject to availability.

Also, there will be classes off blocking off the entire weight room during my only period of time to work out so I am unable to get the kettlebell weights needed for my exercises due to a class using a PUBLIC room. Lastly, the pickleball afternoon times are so limited and they will randomly have lessons without posting anywhere on the virtual schedule causing people to drive all the way there and they can't use the gym for the already limited pickleball times. I mean you guys have two apps (confusing!) you'd think you could figure out how to post the times online... The good: for what you get with the classes and really nice showers the price is relatively affordable.

We love YMCA Summer Camp! This is the second year we've sent our son (7 yrs old this year), and he…read moreconsistently asks to be dropped off early and picked up late--which says everything! He's a very active kid who rarely sits still, so keeping him engaged is no small task. The YMCA does an incredible job of providing a wide variety of activities that keep him excited all summer long. While he definitely has his favorite Y activities, one of the things we appreciate most is that they rarely "do the same thing twice." Each week brings new themes, songs, games, and creative activities, so every week feels like a new adventure. We've been so impressed with the positive environment, caring staff, and the friendships he's made. Knowing he's having so much fun while staying active gives us complete peace of mind. We can't recommend YMCA Summer Camp enough!

I have been coming to this YMCA Long before Waukesha took it over. It has mostly been a positive…read moreexperience. But I would be remiss if I did not mention some of the things that have been consistent issues with this facility and have become a grander annoyance to myself and other members recently. The biggest issue at this location is with maintenance. Things are constantly falling apart or breaking here. For example, in the last 4 months their leg sled machine in the free weight area was broken. They had an "equipment out of order" tag on for literally months. The issue itself was quite simple, the pin on the seat height adjuster just needs a new spring to keep it locked in. Well, such a simple fix went ignored for months. I come here almost everyday and I never once saw anyone try to fix it. Instead, after literally months, the "equipment out of order" sign just disappeared one day. Though *unsurprisingly*, no one had actually fixed it. I watched as multiple members hopped on the machine (myself included) and got quite the scare when the pin totally gave out and the seat slammed back under the weight of the sled. This is dangerous. I have occasionally seen some guy who looks like a third party maintenance worker occasionally stroll through the facility, but I have never once seen him actually fix anything. Same thing with some of their cardio equipment. They have a stair climber machine that has had an out of order tag on for going on close to a year now. Idk if they lease this equipment or if they totally own it, but regardless, they need to have someone either fix it or just get a replacement, as there's only three other stair climbers and depending on the time of the day, you may not be able to get on one. Minor thing, but it's just a pile on to the grander issue of things just left broken for months on end. The pool. I am not someone who uses the pool. But there are a lot of members that do. And at least twice a week, the pool is "broken". Same with the men's whirlpool. They seem to be better about getting these types of problems fixed much quicker than some of the exercise equipment. But the fact that it's constantly breaking tells me the entire system probably needs an overhaul, and is just being repeatedly band aid fixed. Understandable though, I can't imagine the cost to have it fully reoutfitted. The hours. This gym clearly is catering to the elderly populous that largely inhabits the Menomonee falls area, and as such, closes earlier than any other gym in the area. This may not be a problem if your bed time is 8pm, but if you're under the age of 60, you can appreciate still being able to go to the gym later at night, because on the weekends, they're only open until 4pm. And this changes depending on the season. It's just annoying having to keep up with the constantly changing hours when all their competitors are either 24 hours or cater to everyone rather than one demographic. All that said, it has everything I need, and the other members have generally been good people.

Waste of time and money. Rude owner, and clueless staff. We were there for about 3 years and got to…read morethe point where our kid was not progressing, blaming this on the kid without suggesting an action plan to improve. Their only option available was to change instructors and schedule. There is a big instructor rotation, and zero follow up with the parents on the kid's progress. The school's interest is to keep the kids on the same level for as long as possible, up to a year or more, as told directly by the school's owner. This means they are neither learning new skills, nor working on the ones the kids need to improve. They also allow older kids to use the restrooms and showers of the opposite sex without a parent present. Nothing was done when both parents complained about this on several occasions. When we emailed the owner to express our dissatisfaction and submit our cancelation, as we couldn't see our kid's account on their app since they changed our scheduled, instead of receiving a confirmation from them, we got a call from the owner where she screaming said that this is the way she runs her school. Zero people skills and customer service. If you want to pay good money for your kid to play in the pool, this school is for you. If you are looking for a place where your kid can learn how to swim, be confident in the water, and you are concerned about their progress, find a different option.
