I mostly just come to swim lanes but I really appreciate the staff and enjoy seeing the vibrant community bustle of activities going on all around. I like that the pool area is set up to accommodate different users, with aqua therapy and young families with babies through kids often in the warm shallow pool, and length swimmers and various aqua fitness in the bigger pool. My son enjoys his swimming lessons and I can even get my husband out sometimes :)
Having come from a much larger YMCA I am very surprised by the number of fitness classes that are geared to my age group. I find the facility clean and the staff very friendly. I am loving the Boomers program, the information portion is always very interesting.
I really like your ymca, love the water temperature in the pool. Pickleball is what I like to play, although it is not ok that your local group plays to only 7 and they don't win by 2 points. Essentially playing by their own rules. As this is open play I think all players should have input not just those who routinely play in Petrolia. I spoke with the group and they would not budge on this subject. So not sure I'll be back and probably not welcomed with my thoughts on their rules.
The design of the facility is perfect for integrating a class into your workout floor routine. It was great to see a nice class size for Cycle. I will be back for this class, as I may loose the morning spin classes due to low numbers at my home branch.
