YMCA of Kingston and Ulster County

There’s not much to do at the ymca other than the basketball gyms. My 8 year old can’t utilize anything other than the gyms that are always packed with older kids, and the pool whenever there is availability, which is Never. The YMCA in Kingston has gone downhill. Used to be an outlet for my kids and I, but they took anything out that families can enjoy together such as the game room. Now there is minimal pool Hours and capacity which makes it impossible to get a time slot for my family of 5 to be in the pool at the same time. Absolutely waste of money for the membership.

I have been a Y member for over 40 years, primarily to use the pool. I have always come in the early morning, 5 days a week, so my comments reflect that time frame. The current reception staff are fabulous and the early morning lifeguard is always on time and never misses a day. They are real gems!!! The renovation of the pool and women”s locker room are fantastic!! I only wish the showers and the pool deck could be kept consistently clean.

there are not many people in the gym and you can be very comfortable doing your exercises, pay for the family membership and it will only be $75 per month, I like it very much! Because we are 6 in the family, since only one person pays $25 a month. And you can use the pool, also the basketball court.

It is very difficult to get swim times. I think it is time for the YMCA to add more hours for the pool. It is especially hard to get times on the weekends. Pre pandemic the YMCA pool was open a lot more hours both weekends and weekdays and we also have more swimmers now since we are getting the folks that would normally swim at Bard College or other places that have not reopened. I think you are loosing members with it being difficult to get times. Also I am ok with continuing to have to schedule times, but there are far too many time the pool is fully booked and I show up for my time and the pool is not full, also the reverse is true mostly on Sunday mornings people show up with time booked and cannot get in the pool since every lane is occupied. Most times when this overbooking is happening the is someone using a lane for a private swim lesson. So if you want to continue to have folks schedule times it needs to be policed better, which I know is hard. My flexibility for getting swim times, is not what is was now that I am going into the office a few days each week. I used to be able to fit times in between my meetings for work now it is before or after work.
