Kind and helpful staff, clean facilities, and available lanes

Every time I swim here at least one of the showers can't be shut off, resulting in a huge waste of water. Normally I swim at Somerset Hills where all the showers can be turned off. The manager of Bridgewater Y is incompetent. Call a plumber for gods sake.

I joined the y because I use the pool. The Bridgewater y only has the pool. But so much of the pool time is used by teams or other groups over the weekend. There is very little open time for just using a lane. I’m never sure why the locker rooms are closed. There is so much hair all over the floors and showers. It never really looks clean.

Great place to swim!! Clean, nice staff. A+++

Nice facility and good staff.

Administrator, Melissa, is extremely rude and unhelpful and should not be interacting with parents. It’s ridiculous that you need to pay a $75 try out fee which goes to having a coach there. It’s your decision to have the try out and isn’t that part of the coaches job? Why do the coaches not provide feedback after try out? How are we supposed to know what to work on without feedback? Team selection seems extremely arbitrary. Had high hopes for this team and was throughly disappointed.

The pool is no longer 25m

The pool is clean staff friendly and lanes are available

We are a long term swim family. It appears

Caring and experienced coaches, good communication to families, good number of practices per week, racing opportunities up to national level

The biggest issue with this camp is the lack of proper shade for kids when they are outside.
Since, kids remain outside throughout the day they should have temoporary tent set up for kids.
Also, they should have new games and activities every year otherwise it becomes boring for returning campers.

My 3 kids loved attending so much they begged for extra weeks for next year. I love that they were outside so much.

Expensive

The youngest kids practices should be focused on fixing and teaching the correct technique instead of making them swimming laps with fins on for most of the entire practice.
They should be able to teach every stroke not mostly freestyle. They should use drills to improve each swimming style.
I have seen the practices focused only on endurance with fins on mostly all the times, and they only swim freestyle.
What about the technique?
The young team needs to focus on technique using drills, not just swim freestyle nonstop so the coaches could enjoy a nice chat with each other.
I wish they could improve on the 7-8 swim group.

Overall it’s a great program, certain things could be a little different as with all programs but it’s an incredible group of talented coaches and kids and we have already referred new teammates. We are constantly complemented by other USA swimming programs how well our athletes are doing once joining gscy.

The pool is kept very clean. The staff and members are like family. Everyone looks out for each other!

The teacher for preschool 2 and preschool 3 did not teach the children anything, she just let them splash around in the water everyday.

For a lap swimmer, the Bridgewater YMCA is unmatched. Wonderful for the many seniors who support the Y so they can improve their lives through swimming - - the perfect fitness exercise.

communication is so bad, changes in schedule like maintenance short notice

I like the 25 METER pool. I DO NOT think the pool should be changed to 25 yards. Poor move.

womens locker room!!!

YMCA should have make up sessions for thunder because we paying

since 1980. I consider my 5-day week swimming as a principal factor in my good health condition at the age of 97. Thanks to the great staff including lifeguards I’ll continue to work out for as long as I can.

I swim a lot at Bridgewater YMCA, showers and locker rooms need repair and face lift. I cannot speak on the womens locker area.

Staff is friendly and the pool schedule has been fairly accurate over the summer. One thing needs to be addressed. Especially with campers and swim team at the pool, the changing room and shower stalls need to be cleaned. The walls in the shower stalls are pretty gross and the shower curtains are in disrepair. Other than that I'm very pleased with the Bridgewater Y.
