    This review is specifically for the pool(s). The facilities are really good, although the changing…read moreroom/showers are fairly primitive. The salt water pools are both nice--a good sized lap pool and a warmer leisure for water walking and kid fun, as well as a river for floating and relaxing. There is also a giant water slide. The downside is the management of the pools, or lack thereof. Don't expect rules to be enforced, especially in summer, when the lifeguards are almost exclusively teenagers. Kids play in the lap lanes, which disappear with little regard to the schedule. I saw a child dive into the shallow end of the kids' pool and not one of the three lifeguards said anything or perhaps even noticed. Usually there's only one swim lane during aquafit, even if the class is sparsely attended. If you want equipment--water weights, for instance--you often have to hunt down someone to get them for you from a back room. Most gyms I've been to have that equipment readily available. During aquafit classes, the music is so loud that the people in the water often can't hear the instructor, and the instructors are already miked. The volume is headache-inducing at times. Additionally, the music itself is generally very bad. In the morning, it's the same hits of the 70s on a loop ("American Pie" every morning gets old quickly) and in the evenings it's even worse. Little effort seems to go into matching what people in the aquafit classes might enjoy--it's just typical aerobics music, with no imagination or common sense put into the song choice, given that the majority of the people in the classes are 65-plus. (Pre-1960 music actually had a beat--people jitterbugged to it!) I mention music because it's loud, there's no escaping it, and having contemporary country (for example) blaring in your ear isn't always what you want when you're trying to unwind after a long day.

Swimsuit spinner in ladies locker room hasn't worked for years. Management has allowed homeless persons to park overnight in the parking lot for extended periods of time as long as they leave by morning. Another semi-homeless person who collects her mail at the Y appears to have walked off with some of our belongings. Janie the yoga instructor has publicly shamed more experienced yoga participants in her all-levels class more than once. Black mold in the dry sauna persists. Customer service is sorely lacking. Overall, the Sequim YMCA is a mess and a poor value for the money as they recently raised annual membership dues to over $1,000 per year. According to a You Tube video by the Aquatics Manager, we're supposed to ignore all this because the Y is supposed to be about community!
