YMCA of Greenwich 50 East Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830

"Amazing facilities and equipment. Great variety of classes and excellent instructors."

"This is based on the interaction I just had signing up with Judy. Clearly she was not pleased that I came to sign up at the Greenwich location, especially since I have medicare due to LEUKEMIA. She was short, rude and just unpleasant to deal with. After staring me up and down, she curtly asked if I had my member number (from United healthcare). I said "yes, already prepared" with a smile. That made her more mad. I came in with a smile, excited to join. Her whole attitude and demeanor was that I'm not welcome. I don't read into things and I don't like to make things about race but I have a feeling she didn't like me because of my skin color or she really is just a miserable person. I was dressed nice, polite, smell clean, smile on my face and no attitude so this is the only reasonable conclusion I can come to. Anyways I'm signed up, I have no idea where anything is and Im sure if I asked It would have been met with more attitude. Don't worry Judy, I'm moving out of the northeast Feb 1, never to return. I'm moving to a place with kind people that enjoy life. You can keep your Y in Greenwich. And btw I'm a big time trainer and massage therapist that has worked in high end clubs in the city with a long list of clients. If you worked in any establishment I did you would have been terminated."

"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."

"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."

"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 it's 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, it's a great place for teens to go."
