YWCA Katharine White Harvey Branch

Great staff, always something with the outside pool closed due to rain the night before, lightning 4 or 5 miles away, fire drills every other week. I joined July 17th 2024 used weight room for 2 days it's been closed since 7-19-2024 due to ceiling falling in.

If you’re going to take your child to get taught how to swim, DO NOT take classes with Halle. She’s unfortunately far from a “teacher”, doesn’t pay much attention to your child, is very concerned with her own swim cap, loves to leave your child unattended while she swims underwater, has inappropriate conversations with other instructors about what she saw on FB and has no set structure to learning how to swim. Don’t expect to get greeted on the first visit or have your child get greeted and spoken to about what is about to occur. It was an absolute nightmare. Didn’t even finish the entire course as that’s how frustrating and dangerous it was. Stay away.

Desiree gave us a great tour today. We were very pleased with what the facility has to offer. When we returned to the front desk we also met Kevin. Both Desiree and Kevin were very professional and knowledgeable. We are looking forward to many years of enjoyable fitness activities. One suggestion. Consider opening the indoor pool for a couple if hours a week for swimming, especially in the winter

The facilities are very nice & clean. The swimming instructors are great, really help kids to gain confidence and do a good job teaching them how to swim.

I have attended here for a few years and have noticed a decline in services offered to paying members. Pool hours were recently decreased to late afternoon and no morning option for swimming laps outdoors. Classes are cancelled without notice to members which is a huge inconvenience. The feeling is like the members experience is not important or does it matter.
