Our daughters have been on the swim team for 5 years and it is truly the center of our summer experience. The coaches are wonderful, the older kids on the team set a wonderful example for the younger ones and it's been a great way to get to know our neighbors. We highly recommend this pool and community!

This is a beautiful facility but the women's locker rooms need improvement. The ventilation is…read moreterrible - there doesn't appear to be dehumidifiers or ventilation at all, or even just floor fans - so getting dressed is like getting dressed in a sauna. Have you ever tried getting dressed and putting on makeup in a literal sauna? Not easy. Plus, there's no swimsuit spinner so you can't get the excess water out of your suit, and there are no hair dryers, so people try to use the hand dryers instead. Seriously?

The staff was very nice and there were plenty of lifeguards keeping close watch. The outdoor pool area consisted of - Large pool section that went from 3+ feet to 5 feet - 13 foot area with a diving board - Lazy river - 2 water slides About 40% of the area where you can sit is shaded (either trees or a canopy). I can tell that people came early to snag those spots. It's a very nice and well maintained facility. One thing to be aware of is that there is no re-entry. So make sure you bring everything from the car you need the first time. There is plenty of parking. Overall we had a great time and next time we will go closer to the time they open to get a shady spot.

It's a nice size pool with many seating options all the way around. There are several areas with chaise lounges, umbrellas and tables, there are 4 cabanas to rent and many poolside lounge chairs. There is a bar with drinks and food options that opens at noon. The water is crystal clear and not over chlorinated. Water is a perfect temp to cool down in. It is open to the sky without building interference. Music in the background and a leafy fence to make the air conditioners invisible. There is a bit of noise from those on one end but not unbearable. There are also a few poolside games like bags, large Jenga and a sort of bucket toss. One downside is the lack of outlets and no hotel WiFi. Would recommend if you have some down time!

Wednesday night they had a swim meet. It was loud and exciting but the pool was still open for swimming. This was great! It had been a very hot day! I could not swim any laps but I did my best going wall to wall in the main pool. They are also shooting 2 spouts of water out across the pool now. The kid's love it. I found them to be a little bit cooler than the main pool though! Until next time be kind to each other. @yelpdc #connecticutbelairswimclub

A forgettable Y, old and run down and needs a major facelift. Definitely one of the less enjoyable YMCAs I've used and despite how old and run-down it is, it's also busy so you will have to wait for certain things on certain days at certain times more than you would in the average YMCA location. And some of the other members are not so friendly. A good parking lot though, and nobody bothers you in it if you're hanging out in it for awhile.
