I would appreciate it if the YMCA would consider extending weekday lane swimming until 4:00 p.m. I understand that high school swim teams begin practicing from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. in November. However, from mid-September until those practices begin, the pool appears to sit empty during that hour, and it would be a great opportunity to offer additional lane swimming for members. Evening lane swims are extremely busy!!
I believe the OFSAA championships take place in early March, so once the high school swim teams have completed their season, I would also encourage the YMCA to make that 3:00–4:00 p.m. time slot available for lane swimming again.
Extending these hours would provide members with more opportunities to swim and make better use of the pool facilities. Thank you for considering this suggestion!

I wish you had a senior Aquafit only as that is the only thing I have do. I have never even been upstairs. $100 s month is getting expensive !

The staff, the work out classes and instructors are amazing - so encouraging and want you to come back.

Very pleasant, friendly and polite staff.

Friendly atmosphere.

Spacious, comfortable, well-maintained, with a wide range of equipment and activities available to adults and children. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and there are various workout options and programs for all levels.

very neat, very organised and friendly staff

The pool is gorgeous
Staff very helpful

I really like the passes we get and the classes are very good. I love the aquafit water walking and gentle joint classes.

I only use the pools. When I go to the Y with my granddaughters it seems like the rules change. So while they love swimming the "new rules" can be frustrating

Very dirty showers and steam room. Complaints are ignored by management.

Emina is fantastic!

I primarily do the aquafit classes however the timing of the classes is not ideal. I have many friends who still work but could never attend these classes. I can only come occassionally on a random weekday off. There seems to be a lack of balance when it comes to making the pool something fir everyone to be able to enjoy. It is clearly geared toward mom's and tots and swimming lessons. An evening slot with aquafit would be very nice.

Great staff and programs. Always feel recharged after every visit.

It still is the limited times for getting kids into the pool. It is what it is, and has been for the past 6 years. I enjoy bring there when I am, but the hours for pool use are limiting to our family.

The staff were very friendly and informative. I was given a guided tour of the swimming facilities. The premises are very clean.

I do like the facilities,
And the staff

Everyone is friendly and helpful!

Very clean, pool water temperature comfortable, aqua fit I instructors excellent

Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the gym is well set up - which is what I use rather than programs etc

Always a pleasant experience in a family friendly setting.

The family friendly atmosphere, and multiple locations is why we rejoined. Plus now Mr 10 yr old can work out, that’s what we were waiting for.

Too many unsupervised kids/groups of kids in the weight area that are just fooling around, taking up equipment others actually want to use

Excellent place.

Water aquatics are good except Wednesday. Instructor very difficult to understand and follow. Water temperature warm so tireing for doing laps. Many people doing classes and sometimes not enough noodles.

not disappointed but its quite expensive.People are more likely to sign up after a free pass. I have some friends that would like to try it but can't afford a full pass without experiencing things available. eg. aquafit

Clean and usually easy to get equipment.
All treadmills are working!!!! 😀

You removed the wellness cafe. The Stoney creek YMCA has lost its soul. It feels empty and corporate now. I do not plan on continuing to go. Corporate greed has gone too far.

Tha facility is great but I would rate the cleanliness in the women's locker room at 3/10. It needs attention.

Friendly helpful staff.Like that the library is there as well

The change room leaves much to be desired. There are no hairdryers. The shower goes off after 10 seconds. There’s no room to hang your bathing suit after you shower. The click in the pool is way too small, especially for older people who wear glasses. The pool is a lovely temperature but I use the y in Toronto. As old as it is it is much more pleasurable

I only participate in the aquafit classes - and it is brilliant you have added additional classes to allow for various options. However, there are too many people in the pool talking in groups and not bothering to participate in the instructor’s workout. It is rude to the instructor and very distracting to those of us trying to follow and be fully engaged. It is happening is almost every class now. It wouldn’t be permitted in a cycle or any other group class.

It needs to be reinforced as the classes are getting bigger and it is now a problem for those of us who want to fully commit to the class.

Love the affordable aquafit and other pool activities you can participate in without a full membership.

I really enjoy my time at Stoney Creek on the Wellness floor.

Good service and the facilities are clean and modern

Nice spot but sooo busy, lack of benches, and not the cleanest changerooms ill admit

The Aquafit and Gentle joints has helped me Physically and mentally.
Ladies are friendly. Instructors are meeting my needs!
Water is lovely and warm.

Showers need a good scrubbing! I am sure they are done daily!

Not something you can do. . .it is the people that use the pool. I used the facility while STARTECH was closed. In using the lane, I had people come into the lane while I was swimming, and advise me I had to share the "Slow Lane" with them, totally disrupting my swim experience, despite other lanes empty(<2 people). When I started my mile swim, the other lanes were full (3+). At STARTECH, people are far more flexible and understanding. I moved to other lane rather than argue. The reduced rating was to do with that alone

I feel very welcome every time I go to the facilities. I find the staff very friendly and always willing to help. I use mostly the pool, but it's very busy. I think it needs to be a bit more organized. Overall it's amazing.

Stoney Creek Y is very well resourced and kept nice and clean !!!

Often difficult to access cardio equipment except in middle of the day. Great programming and clean facilities.

I like the instruction and convenience.
I would like to have a full membership but find the cost too costly. I currently have pool access only.

I have been extremely frustrated with the aquatics communication lately. Twice I have driven 25 minutes to swim at the Y and it has been closed when the website said it would be open. One front desk manager said I should have looked on the paper schedule, which angered me to no end. I shouldn’t have to cross-reference the website, the Facebook page, and a paper schedule to determine when the lane swims are. Just make sure the website has the correct times!!!

Unfortunately this Y is too far from home! I’m not fond of the noon hour Aquafit time although it worked well for me to be able to go a couple of times a week while my Startech pool was being renovated and cleaned. Stoney Creek is a lovely facility.

I come for the swimming and I use the library. I love the pool. I use it for lengths. Everyone is very friendly and works co-operatively when sharing a lane. I have experienced in other community pools that sometimes lane swimming gets shoved together for individual swimming lessons. That does not happen here. The pool is always organized and well used by every age. Staff is helpful and friendly. It is a very busy place,
We are also very lucky to have our library which I use quite often.

There are too many people on their phones while they are on machines. They do a set; sit on their phones for 5 minutes then do another set etc.
would love to see signs posted that uf you are in your phone please do not occupy a machine.

The dressing room is clean, the pool is clean, the staff are helpful, the public lane swimming hours are accommodating. One complaint, the pool is a bit too warm. Turn thermostat down from 85C+ to 83C, save some $ and make the pool more invigorating. As you do this the air will also cool somewhat which will also help. The air is a bit too stuffy and I loved getting back to the cooler air of the dressing room.

The check in process as guest has been 20 minutes both times even though the had my info. It's like security at the cia or something.

The change room are so gross. wet dust bunnies in corner, hair around the toilets. The gym it self was ok aside from the young kids being loud and playing with equipment.

LOVE the swimming - gentle joints and Aqua Fit
