I am sharing our family experience regarding the environment cultivated within the Indian Valley…read moreSwim Team community, particularly concerning peer exclusion, and lack of coaching. My 9-year-old son, a county qualified swimmer, a first-generation swimmer, first year on the team, faced repeated exclusion by team members. These behaviors seem to reflect a culture of entitlement and favoritism that is passively tolerated by coaches and the leadership team (swimmers parents). Despite raising these concerns directly with board representatives, I encountered zero accountability, and derogatory remarks about 10U boys, when a board member called them "a**holes" with her dismissive tone. Such responses are unprofessional and contribute to a hostile environment that goes against the values of respect, fairness, and inclusion that the team claims to uphold. Clear double standards appear to prevail, allowing some swimmers, particularly those with parent allies on the board--to taunt, marginalize, or exclude others without repercussions.The overall culture fosters exclusivity and hierarchy rather than a safe, supportive environment based on skill, effort, and sportsmanship.

Our children loved the pool and the large grassy areas and made lifetime friendships at this pool.

I can't imagine a better place to spend our summers in Pleasant Hill.

Malrie is a phenomenal designer (and person) --she guided us through every aesthetic and functional choice from layout to landscaping, and became a true friend throughout the process. She gave us peace of mind with transparent pricing and a clear payment schedule, taking all the financial stress out of the equation.Carlos and his crew showed up every single day and delivered flawless execution throughout. Arreola handled everything seamlessly, even coordinating with Anderson Arbors for our pavilion. Now, we are out in our yard every single day swimming in our new salt water pool, relaxing in the in-ground spa, or cooking in our outdoor pavilion (complete with a built-in kitchen and fireplace too). This was a massive project that turned out beautifully. We could not be happier. If you want a team that will guide you through an overwhelming process, make you feel 100% confident, and deliver exceptional craftsmanship, you want Malrie and Carlos. They are amazing people who go above and beyond. We are absolutely in love with our new yard! Happy to be a resource to anyone considering.

Once we started working with them, they were everything you'd want in an engagement and more. Extremely reliable, responsible, dependable, and definitely went above and beyond in so many ways. They walk you through every step of the process but also let you be involved with as little or as much as possible. So attentive and available whenever we had questions about anything. All of their crew onsite were friendly and respectful. We added on things along the way but they still met the original timeline discussed. We could not be happier with the turnout and spend so much more time in our yard now! Would recommend and happily be a resource for anyone considering.

I grew up in the wonderful Ygnacio Wood neighborhood in the 80s, moving into our home on Raycliff…read morePlace from Moraga when I was 7. That spring, after I turned 8 my family joined the Ygnacio Wood Swim Club and I also joined the swim team. Without a doubt, my fondest memories of the 8 years I lived there all tied back to Ygnacio Wood Swim Club & Team. Years later, when it was time to settle into a community and start a family, I came back. Our family joined Ygnacio Wood Swim Club and Team with little kids and we fell in love with everything it has to offer, just as I remember when I was a kid. Now our kids aren't so little and they have all had the same experience I had as a kid, probably even better. Ygnacio Wood builds lifelong friendships. My best friends today are either people I met and grew up with at YW, or parents we met as our kids grew up at YW. Same with my kids friends. I think it is the legacy culture that attracts like-minds As for the Ygnacio Wood Swim Team...or Y-DUB Nation as some call it...it is like nothing else. Ya, meets follow the same format as other rec meets. The kids start off blocks. People are timing. The water is wet. Etc. But, this is not your -- stand around bored while you wait for a monotone megaphone announcement of your kid's next event, followed by an awkwardly started song off a random playlist that someone made 5 years ago for the one party they ever had, which honestly wasn't even that fun, even though the host keeps asking "remember that party at our house?" while you think to yourself, "Uh, yeah how could I forget when you play that sucky playlist every single meet..." -- kind of meet. Nope. At YWST home meets, you get an experience that starts with a state of the art sound system with clear and fun announcements, music professionally fading in and out between starts and announcements, and a custom playlist uniquely curated by our DJ for each meet theme, guest team and age group. And, well there's the digital display board visible to all and broadcasting the times of each race. Oh, what's that--the display board just turned into a video of the swimmers at they step on the block, but the starter calls them all back down, except for little Billy, who stands on the block not sure what's going on. Ahh, the announcer explains it's Billy's birthday and suddenly 250 people join in for a quick happy birthday song while Billy tries his best to play it cool but at the end he just can't help bust out a smile while he gets ready to take his mark. Oh yeah, then there's the real secret sauce...the coaching staff. They're all home-grown former YWST swimmers who have taken the time to know each and every kid on the team, and bring absolutely nuclear energy and motivation passed down by their former YWST coaches. They recognize and congratulate swimmers at every age and skill level when they achieve a personal best. And, if there enough kids for a B or C relay, they swim. Because its rec swim and the kids are here to swim not watch the A relay team swim. Even though its fun to watch the A relay because those swimmers are fast... I'm very fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience Ygnacio Wood Swim Club and Team as a kid, and now as a dad of a swim family. Very proud to be a Sea Horse. Ooh, ah, you wish you were a Sea Horse. GOOOO YGNACIO!!

At swim meets, especially the large multi team events - YWST is always seen as the team with the most spirit. We joined YWST in 2008 at the advice of our neighbor, whose two children were on the team. Our oldest daughter was 6 and our younger ones were barely 2 and 4. Over the next 10 years, we watched our children develop into accomplished swimmers. More importantly in my mind was the great environment for my kids to be in each day after practice, mostly hanging out with their friends, being outside, being active, interacting with kids of all ages and young adults/coaches who were great role models, etc., - versus-being indoors on their phones, with occasional scheduled play dates.
