YMCA of Greenwich

Positive experience: Emphasis is clearly on swimming. Gym equipment dated; no towels in locker room; lockers old and dated. Closes on many holidays - unlike other local Ys. Comment based on other nearby YMCAs.

Fantastic experience: Took my toddler for family swim. She loves it. we have so much fun. The lifeguards are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Large pool, good selection in the gym. Even bas a nice patio if you would like to relax a bit

Fantastic experience: I've 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.

Fantastic experience: 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 I've 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). I'm 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. It's not a huge locker room but it's 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.
