There was a billing issue at the start of the year but the owner/manager worked with us immediately to resolve it so we opted to stay and I'm so glad we did! My daughter who is 6 enjoys her weekly sessions. I booked two classes back to back because it's just better for us for her to have longer times in the pool since we don't live close to this school. So far it has worked out great. I also like that the facility opened in September 2025 (which was when we first joined) so it's still new and things are still kept clean. I like that my daughter gets to swim with different instructors every now and then because I believe each one has their own techniques and way of swimming that might click for some kinds and not others. The only way to know is to actually try it! My daughter knows how to swim now but we still go here every week so that she can work on her form and technique. I anticipate this to be a multi year activity for my daughter. Cheers!

He is busy putting an excellent array of new classes and activities together for kids, teens, and adults, and is working on getting new equipment (they just got more cardio machines with tvs in them). We attended an open house there over the weekend and watched all sorts of demonstrations of the types of classes and things this facility offers. We also learned that there will be a push to increase teen memberships in the next few weeks so stay tuned if you're a teen looking for a great deal. That said, the staff working the front desk needs to be a bit friendlier, they seem bothered when you ask them a question and give the general aura that they don't want to be there. But I'm confident the dead weight will get cut as this facility continues to improve! Overall, this is the kind of place to go to make sure families are staying active and healthy together, and it will only get better and better as more people join.

It's a lovely facility that has been kept in tip top shape. They have a variety of classes to sign your kids up for and if you're still standing you can get into a dance class too. They offer you a private trainer to try as a part of your membership. They have a walking track upstairs, there is a nutritionist on the property for consultation, they have classes and I think lunch for the elderly. When my kids were younger I practically lived at the Y because I was there 6 days a week. My kids are adults now and it's nice to be able to go to a class now for me. Membership isn't expensive either. I really am blessed to live within walking distance to my Y and it's a very nice facility.

The club has a large locker room. Also, the tennis facility had a lot of lessons going on and it looked like they had a very good junior tennis program.

Our oldest child and middle school graduate, who now attends public high school, feels like she was well prepared academically and personally by teachers who challenged her to think critically and by expectations to be kind and respectful.

Overall, these needs were met by the Cabrillo Youth Center. Upon arrival, we set up our tents in designated field areas very close to the waterfront. While the "beach" is inside LA Harbor, I was generally pleased with the cleanliness of the water. No, it's not Catalina-clear, but the camp is adjacent to a wetlands preserve and the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, so the water activities (which include kayaking, rowboats, and canoeing) are enjoyed in a designated area over a beautiful eel grass bed. Wish I could have dragged a lure through here for some bay bass, but didn't manage to do so. Swimming is enjoyed in the pool on site, and all visitors must take a BSA swim test to determine which activities they can enjoy. Four laps of the pool-- three on your stomach and one on your back... then float on your back for about a minute. If you pass, you're given a blue wristband: clear for all activities; if you're a beginner or non-swimmer, (red and white wristbands, respectively) you must be accompanied by a blue-band to go out on any watercraft. The camp also features a craft center, a mess hall, a Scout store, and flush toilets/restrooms. Showers are outdoor beach-style to get the sand off your body, but really, you're probably only here for a day or two. The amphitheater area is used for orientation meetings, and the camp fire. Being a "working camp," the visitors are responsible for a lot-- keeping the restrooms clean, hauling out trash to the dumpsters, and running the campfire. ... all good stuff for kids working on being more responsible. A lot of lifeguards here to support the boating activities, keep an eye on the pool, and running f swim tests. At night the gates to parking lot are locked, and the entire perimeter is fenced right down to the water, so pretty safe, despite its harbor location. The buddy system is utilized for kids at all times. A red trolley offers free rides to the aquarium, the USS IOWA, and several museums nearby. A quick walk to the aquarium is neat to break up the day, and a slightly longer walk takes you down to the tide pools just outside the breakwater. Afternoon sundowner breezes make kite flying a genuine option. Overall, we had a great time camping here. No open flames means charcoal and propane cooking is OK, and the mess hall offers a meal plan if you'd rather not endure the hassle of bringing your own stuff. This is not oceanfront cabanas and towel service, kids... but for the price and the experience, this is a nice little camp nestled in the midst of an active marina. A gem indeed.
