My son took a 7 week swim class at this Y. The cost was extremely affordable and my son was doing great. On his 5th class his regular instructor informed me that she would not be there for the last 2 classes but that she would leave notes about his progress and recommend he be advanced to next class to the final instructor. This did not happen. The final instructor is the swim coordinator and he was terrible. My son was afraid and did not perform well for the final instructor because the instructor was too militant in his approach. My son has generalized anxiety and is not good with change especially bad changes. In only 2 lessons the swim coordinator decides my son can't progress and even calls him lazy when I had my son demonstrate that he can swim when the instructor got out of the pool. He stated the previous instructor left no notes. Either she didn't and she is at fault or he never looked and he is at fault. Either way I will save my money and take over swim lessons myself.
I picked this Y because it's 5 minutes from my house and after trying several fitness options found that I love the water fitness offerings. My concerns are this: the Water Zumba instructor is way to fast during her steps - she is not in the water with us and tend to disregard we are pushing water and she is pushing AIR!!! So frustrating! Secondly, the water and air temperature is always chilly, I've often asked the life guards to keep the entry door closed so the cool air from the main gym doesn't flow into the pool area, but they continue to be more concerned with their own comfort verses the paying members comfort. I am in search of a different Y and will try the Perry Hall location to see if it's more accommodating. Otherwise the Parkville Y is wonderful!!
I'm not currently a member, but I am looking into joining and I just want to say that it is AWESOME that you guys respond to the comments. It really shows that you care and are concerned with making the members experience the best it could be.
Awesome! Me my wife and three children love the "Y"
