We wanted to visit this YMCA location to take advantage of the outdoor swimming pool. We first dropped off our kids at the childcare center. The kids preferred this childcare center over the Penfield location. They said it seemed cleaner and there was not gum all over the surfaces. The wellness center was decent. Not a ton of machines but enough. It was surprisingly slow for a Saturday and I had my choice of machines. I liked the electronic lockers here. The outdoor pool is really what makes this location stand out. I wish there were more shady areas poolside. The slide is fun (and fast). Kids loved the splash pad. The only aspect I was unhappy with was how basic the changing rooms were by the pool. They could use an update to be modernized. The changing rooms were as basic as you can get. No stalls strictly for changing. We enjoyed this location and would come back for the pool. read more

Bay View Family YMCA - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Webster, New York

See all

I had my kids in child watch and shortly after, my son somehow left childwatch without anyone knowing or even looking for him and found me sitting out in the lobby. I asked him what he was doing and also was waiting to see if anyone was following behind looking for him and, no one! Not one person was searching for my 3 year old son. I brought him back in and said he got out the door and found me in the lobby and the response from a male worker was "oh". . Not a "oh. I'm sorry" or "oh my goodness I apologize ". Mind you, I am supposed to trust people with my kid's life. Let me also say that he knows how to push the handicapp door button to get the doors open so had I not been in the lobby sitting down, he would have walked right out the front doors. Interesting this place tried to pin neglect on me when they are the ones having neglected my son. I stopped going to this branch a long time ago. read more

I don't typically leave reviews but this was above and beyond disappointing. For multiple reasons unfortunately. The swim "coach" was is the source of everything. The class started at 4:15 PM, and I remember looking at the clock multiple times and it was 4:21 PM and he was still having a random conversation with the other lifeguard. The class was only 40 minutes long so this was a significant amount of time to be losing. Multiple times my son would be in the water waiting to do something for at least 15 minutes before having any guidance. The most disturbing event was one afternoon, I overheard the swim "coach" speaking to the children. They are six years old to keep in mind. He attempted to keep his voice low so no one heard, but I heard exactly every word he said to them. " if you don't pay attention I'm going to get very angry very quick" he spoke firmly to the kids. He didn't think any of the parents heard him, which they didn't but I picked up on it immediately. I wish I had paid attention more often because who knows how often he would speak to them like this. Afterwards I called him over and told him I did not appreciate him being unprofessional and that he needed to find a kinder way to communicate the message. The icing on the cake happened last week. I took my son to swim practice Friday afternoon and when I got there there was no one else there. I looked over and his swim "coach" was in his regular lifeguard shirt. He was standing next to another lifeguard. I approached him and asked him if there was class today. My sons swim coach completely ignored me and turned away and the other coach told me that there was not. I asked him if this was on the schedule or if there was any kind of notification and he told me that the coach should have let me know. There was zero communication, not an email, not a phone call and not even in person. The actual swim lessons themselves seemed insignificant. We have one class left and I will not even be wasting my sons time to take him there to expose him to this unnecessary chaos. If you're considering taking lessons there I highly discourage you to take them at this location. The price seems intriguing but trust me, you get what you pay for. read more

If you want to avoid the crowds at the Eastside YMCA, check out this well equipped, clean, and friendly YMCA. It might not have the flash the big, huge Eastside gym has, but it's a much more comfortable atmosphere. Locker room is mellow and has lots of hot water. Classes are good, and equipment upstairs is plentiful. The weight room could use some updating (needs new cable machines!) - but it's never crowded. Also, the gym desperately needs a dedicated space for spin class, hauling those bikes in and out of those cabinets is ridiculous. And the air conditioning upstairs seems to be perpetually broken. I know this sounds like a lot of bad stuff, but trust me, the friendliness and nice, intimate atmosphere will keep you coming back! read more

This gym is pretty nice and not to crowded. I enjoyed everything until I went to cancel my membership because I was moving. It was a terrible experience I thought the YMCA would be different but it is no better than all of the other predatory gyms. It is easy to sign up online or over the phone but to cancel it needs to be done in person. The only reason for this is to milk you for more money. I Guess if you are going to a gym in the Rochester area the YMCA is more expensive and just as large of a hassle to cancel from. read more
