Ive got two young daughters in swimming lessons here at the moment. Due to covid, numbers are down to two per class. This obviously means almost 1:1 coaching, which is great for their swimming development and 30minutes quickly goes by. All staff are very nice and welcoming. The place is clean and well maintained. There is a good small pool for kids development, as well as an impressive Olympic sized pool.There is a clean family changing room, just with the one shower room but with three private changing rooms as well. And there are obviously other changing facilities for over 18s.Definitely a good option for sports, children or adults.

I am a swimmer and can comment only my experience swimming as a guest. I visit Ys all over the country and this was the best pool Ive ever been in as well as the first true Olympic sized pool.The water is impeccably clean and the lanes are wide. In long course format, they have 8 lanes that can be very comfortably split (not all may be open depending on the time). Im an early morning swimmer and the pool had people in all lanes but room for splits. Nice temperature for active swimmers.The locker room upstairs was well maintained in general with ample dehumidification. They do supply body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the showers. Steam shower and sauna are available. Its not a huge locker room but its also not the only one.There is a historic wood paneled lounge that is really lovely.Six visits as a guest before you start paying half price. The $10/day (half the normal day rate of $20 for an adult) would be well worth it to jump into such a great pool.

The facility is clean and more than adequate for my workout needs. They have taken great strides in trying to protect the members. The Y should be commended for their attention to detail in Sanitation protocols and member safety.

My son loves to play basketball there, but the system for borrowing a basketball may need improvement. I think the cost of a student membership is on the steep side and often think its better for my son to just pay per visit as opposed to the monthly unless he has the time to go more than 5 times a month. All in all, its a great place for teens to go.

In follow up to my review below, the Greenwich YMCA agreed to extend me a one-time courtesy of refunding my money. They said they were sorry they could not meet my needs, but were more concerned with giving their “multiple championship winning teams” the opportunity to “practice throughout the day and into the evening.” They also acknowledged their schedules were inaccurate, but said the only information they deem valuable to their adult members is when lap lanes will be available for them.Apparently, their staff is not required to correctly answer direct questions like “Will a swim team be monopolizing most of the lanes?” And, members shouldn’t expect to know if 1 lane or 10 lanes will be available to them – they are lucky to be allowed to swim at all since their needs are not as important as the needs of young champions.What an arrogant, disgraceful organization!FIRST REVIEWBefore purchasing membership, the YMCA staff assured me the pool schedule they published online was accurate and several lap lanes would be available most nights. When I inquired if swim teams would be practicing in the evenings, I was told they would not. I discovered the schedule was inaccurate and a swim team monopolizes the pool nearly every evening, making it difficult and unpleasant to swim laps. I requested membership cancellation and refund, but received no response and was forced to ask my credit card company to dispute the charge.I drove nearly an hour in heavy rush hour traffic looking forward to a relaxing swim, and received stress and aggravation instead. I am disgusted with the misrepresentation, inconsideration, and disrespect this organization has demonstrated. I recommend that any adult looking to swim laps in the evenings, look elsewhere.

Traditional and Great place, I and my family have been members for 15 years; I have always received a dignified and high treatment from all the staff. The facilities are clean, spacious and comfortable. They are concerned about continuously improving and offering the best service to customers.

Give me a break, I’m not sure why we decided to sign our son here. Old building, not clean, mean unprofessional stuff. Always messed up the schedule and they run out of towels.I hope they will go out off business soon. Any other gym- swimming pool will be better than this . Do NOT recommend

The first thing I noticed was how friendly and helpful the staff were. The pool is amazing. My only gripe is sometimes they shut the pool down for events. If you can afford it I think youll be happy here.

Recently moved back to the area and decided to give this place a shot after some childhood exposure. The staff are friendly. The facility is old, but kept clean and functional with improvements happening on a fairly regular basis. The pool is massive and a spot is almost always available.

A beautiful, brand new swimming facility. One of the few places in the New York metro area that has a 50-yard long course pool. Modern exercise equipment, and reasonable membership prices.
