Lawton Family YMCA

"This aint the place to come to swim. Brought my family here, There's two pools. One is for adults to lap-swim only. The second pool is for free-swim, but half of it is taken up by 3 lane blockers (there's already a pool for this). Then, they come in and do an aerobics class and block off another half of the pool and make all the kids go into a tiny quarter square of the 3 1/2' pool. Why doesn't the aerobics class use the other pool? nobody was even in that one. So essentially we paid $10 a person to be in a tiny square of a pool thats like 15x15 ft. with a bunch of kids. Almost anywhere else is better than this. The hours to their pools are restrictive. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone."

"As one of the older YMCA's I have been to, at least they have 2 pools and keep ths place really clean. There is a problem with their membership. I am a veteran and a member of silver sneaker. A family membership should have a 50% discount applied to the membership or something. I get a free membership for me, but my kids and girlfriend can't go with me, so I end up having to pay full price for a family membership even though I am free. Just does not add up....."

"Great opportunity for seniors to get some exercise and have a social outlet. The classes are appropriate and offered several times a week. The pool, sauna and hot tub are great for arthritic joints. The staff are always friendly."

"Too expensive for a military town. The amenities are never available, such as the basketball court, and pools. My son gets a family discount w/ his employer. Apparently, for the family discount, you can only qualify 2 adults and 3 children under the age of 18. My son is 20, and he wanted to add me, his dad, and his brother and sister, age 17 and 13. Needless to say, we decided to pass."

"I want to take time to THANK Mrs. Sherri the woman who runs the swim team and aquatics and her swim instructors for the Barracudas. They are so helpful and kind. The teacher got my daughter hooked on swimming which I am so happy as I love to swim. Sherri has worked with us in getting our daughter swim gear and figuring out cost. She is a TRUELY caring and compassionate woman and an asset to the YMCA. Highly Recommended. Go Barracudas Swim Team!!!"
