THE BIG: Toddler and kid friendly swimming pool with lessons located in the Linc in Central Austin…read moreright off if I-35. Plenty of parking in the lot. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here on a Saturday for a trial to get my 5 month old to get used to water. Check-in is a breeze and the lessons were good. Instructors are also very nice. There is a viewing area in AC for the rest of the adults or party to chill and watch as the pool area is very warm along with the pool. There is alot of showers and changing rooms after pool time to get ready for the outside world. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, this is a great place to get your baby/toddler/kid to get used to water and swimming.

From the first second we walked in my kids were happy and relaxed. They felt comfortable and the…read moreschool is really good about letting you know about every small achievement. I will say there aren't many showers, I counted 3 and the changing rooms are unisex and don't have drains to wring out swimsuits. There's also no swimsuit dryer which we have seen in many other places. It's very clean and quiet and has a nice play area for siblings to stay entertained.

I really liked going to this YMCA especially since this location has an indoor heated pool and hot…read moretub, great for winters. However, the past few times that I have been here, the hot tub has been closed off and I also ended up getting an ear infection for the first time :( Makes me question the hygiene and sanitization practices at this pool. They even have painters come in during pool hours so the entire enclosed space is filled with paint smell and fumes.

Even though it's okay here, I'd still recommend this YMCA. Just a few odd quirks here and some…read moreundesirable effects. First off the parking here is a challenge. Spaces are too small, and you can guarantee your car getting dinged. Mine already has, and I was even in the car when she did it, I confronted her and she just gave me a nasty look and did not apologize. I had to leave it at that since she had a small child with her, but she apparently didn't give AF. I've noticed similar behaviors with other patrons who park there. I use the pool here - it's outside. Most of the inside of this place is carpeted, which is quite odd, when you come in from the pool or the spa or indoor pool you walk on carpet and the carpet gets drenched. Not good. I detest that you have to walk all the way through various hallways and by the gym and the other pool to get to the locker room if you're coming / going to the outside pool. Kinda feels like you're at a hotel and having to walk down the carpeted hallway bypassing several rooms / areas in your swimsuit, or if you're wet with a towel. The indoor pool is fine, but when they hold those Zumba courses there - that Zumba instructor is - how can I saw this - irritating to say the least. She has forced a rule - you cannot turn on the jacuzzi jets during her classes because it's too loud and they cannot hear or talk to each other. This has been a bothersome rule for years now, and many of us have complained, yet this Zumba instructor wins all the time. I get it when you have a full pool of people, but some of her Zumba classes have only 4-6 people attending, they take over the whole indoor pool, she blasts the music so damn loud it's like you're at a club, and they don't talk to each other anyway so WTF?? They could use the other half of the pool (away from the jacuzzi) since there's only 6 of them, so everyone can use the facilities, but after complaining about this - I was rejected. I was also informed by several other members - they have complained too but have also been rejected. It's irritating AF and it's not respectful when there is no compromise. The basketball court is smaller here. The weight room is open and carpeted. The showers are okay, the bathrooms at times could be cleaner, the men's locker room is on the smaller side and quite compacted for space. The outside pool - it's heated during the winter time and it's open all year round. Swam the other day - it was 75 degrees outside temps and pool was 88 degrees, it was nice. But once you get out of the pool - yikes. But it's a nice change of pace here. They just updated the deck space around the pool. Service here has always been nice. Never had a bad experience with the any of them, all very responsive and answer my questions and good customer service. I don't frequent here as much but will go sometimes if it's convenient for my schedule. Can we just work out the Zumba lady and jacuzzi jets please?

Group fitness classes are included with your membership, living up to the "Communities" name. Sliding scale pricing depending on your income. The locker rooms/showers are usually dirty/mildewy and that's unfortunate. The swimsuit spinner has a moldy smell coming from it and it leaks onto the ground so I don't recommend it and to be careful since the floor is often wet. But if you really need a gym or pool access in east Austin, this is a place!

Also, the instructors are all the sweetest and make you feel right at home!
