since I last wrote about Swimmerman--and after the wretched scourge of COVID (that we're still…read moreliving in)--this place has greatly improved. setting aside how fantastic the location is, the class sizes are smaller and personal attention is greater. the staff is friendly and helpful so I'm very glad we came back. running a place like this ain't easy in the best of times given how The Littles tend to be germ wagons (bless them) and I appreciate Mr. Kyle and all.

This was my first time visiting this YMCA location, and unfortunately my experience was not good…read moredue to the behavior of an older-white, female "fitness coach" named Diane. While in the weight room, she walked over to the area I was working out at. After scanning the free weights, she stared at me and the weights I was using ( I had both the 15 and 20 lbs weights).An angry look overcame her face. I believe she got upset because I was using weights she intended for her client, even though they were not marked, reserved, or set aside off rack for later use . Also, there was another brand of 20lbs dumbbells that were available for immediate use, but I guess she wanted the weights I had. Her body language and facial expressions made me feel uneasy. She then approached me aggressively and accused me of blocking a walkway which I was not. To avoid confrontation, because I know that is what she wanted, I moved anyway. Moments later, she began walking very close to me and giving me mean looks in an intimidating manner, as if trying to provoke a confrontation. At one point, she picked up weighted plates I was actively using and deliberately dropped them out of place onto the floor after I told her I was using them. She smacked her teeth, rolled her eyes, and mumbled something under her breath as she walked away. This felt intentional and threatening. I couldn't believe what was happening because all I was trying to do was work out and mind my own business. I do not understand why this woman of golden age was acting this way towards me unprovoked, and then it hit me: this is the result of working out while black! As a patron, I should feel safe and respected in a shared fitness space. Instead, I felt targeted and intimidated. Based on the interaction, I couldn't help but feel that racism, bias, entitlement, and favoritism toward her Caucasian client played a huge role in how I was treated. The YMCA promotes itself as an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone. This behavior was the opposite of that, and it needs to be addressed so no other member has a similar experience. If an employee cannot treat all patrons with respect, they should not be working in a community-centered space like this. Shame on you Diane for your unprofessionalism and disgusting behavior towards me today. It's sad that people like you still exist in 2026. I pray the most high cleanse your wicked heart and remove all evil, hatred, and racism you possess inside of your decaying soul in this present time. I hope you never get another opportunity to mistreat another person the way you mistreated me today. You went out of your way to intimidate to make me feel unwanted and unwelcome, but I refuse to allow such a miserable person as yourself bring me down. You're nothing but an old racist boomer-bully and I pity you. SHAME-ON-YOU DIANE! SHAME-ON-YOU!

We've had such a great experience with my daughter's swim teacher, Marianela! From the very first…read morelesson, she made my daughter feel safe, encouraged, and supported. Her patience, positivity, and ability to connect with kids truly stand out. Even when my daughter feels a little nervous--especially around the deep end--Marianela remains calm and reassuring, helping her build confidence at her own pace. It's clear that she genuinely cares about her students' progress and well-being. I'm so grateful for the growth my daughter has made and for the thoughtful, encouraging approach Marianela brings to every lesson.

Marilyn was incredible. We will be forever grateful for her! I truly thought that only one of my…read morekids would be swimming by the end of our lessons, but I was wrong. She got both of my kids swimming without life vests or floaties! She even had both of them jumping off the diving board in the deep end and swimming to me. Marilyn was so patient and wasn't afraid to challenge the kids. She would check in with me to see what I was comfortable pushing them to do and was atuned to how each of my children felt during their lesson. I really can't say enough good things about her.

Tuesday June 2nd, 2021…read more So the pool has been open since Saturday and we definitely had to come. It's limited in capacity at 40% or 92 people. We had a short wait of 5 minutes before enough people left the pool for us to get in. A wait list is taken when the pool exceeds capacity and you just have to wait until people leave, which typically isn't very long, on a week day anyway. I have to say the water was very chilly. So we also didn't stay longer than 30 minutes. The kiddie pool was not open. It seemed like there was no deep section and you could walk from one end of this Olympic size pool to the other. Don't bother calling ahead. I doubt they'll take a reservation over the phone. When I was there, the teenage staff were not answering. I also saw that folks had left the water running in the showers. Not very considerate given water is a scarce commodity. I'd suggest also reeling in the excess swim lanes which were just sitting on the ground gathering leaves. The price: Free! So you can't beat it. We will be back next week when I hope it's a little warmer.
