Wilson Family YMCA

Great place to workout. If you don't like crowds go early. Excellent selection of equipment and they offer various activities for the family.

We really did not enjoy our visit to the aquatics center today. Dominique and staff were over the top rude when we didn't know they were blowing whistles for all children to get out of the pool for 10 min. We thought that was an outdoor pool policy only. Apparently Dominique and the snooty Caucasian swim instructor seem to think that it's ok to make up rules as they go. We waited 10 min (it's hard not to miss if youve been sitting there, watching only half of the pool being utilized by old people anyway). When I notified the swim instructor that it had been 10 minutes and we'd appreciate being allowed to get back into the pool, she copped an attitude and said "WeLl, We MaDe It 15 MiNuTeS." I asked her why, because all of the kids who'd been forced to get out seemed a little antsy with their parents. "BeCaUsE wE sAiD sO" I was like "Why did you say so, though? Are we just making rules up as we go?" Dominique stepped forward and said "BeCaUsE wE hAd To WoRk ExTrA hArD tO GeT eVeRyOnE oUt Of ThE PoOl AnD wE'rE OvErWoRkEd AnD UnDeRpAiD." I said, "Man, I had no idea." They blew the whistles directly after that conversation. Dominique and staff turned around and went back to sitting down and discussing what appeared to be their personal conversations. I noticed that not once did they seem to be doing anything except having personal conversations all but maybe the 5 minutes it took Dominique to test the pool pH levels. Then she was right back to messing around and acting like it was her break time. It seems to me that maybe she is underpaid, but definitely not overworked, based off of her spending 90% of her clock hours sitting and socializing. I forgot to mention that her swim attire was misfitting and appeared to be riding up her rear to the point of looking like a thong. It probably needed to be up a size or in the form of shorts to be appropriately modest for YMCA policies. Oh, and the only other time I saw Dominique get up from her seat to stop socializing was when she was telling is to get out of the "Swim Lessons Only" lane when there wasn't anybody scheduled to be there for another 25 minutes. Yes, I watched the clock, because it's absurd to have a section of the pool closed down for use when nobody is clearly using it at that time. We would've gladly moved when someone was there who clearly had reserved the space. By all means, Dominique, if you're overworked and underpaid for sitting down to socialize for 90% of your clock hours, maybe it's time for you to find a different job? To add: nobody can hear whatever staff in the indoor pool are saying. Nobody. You can't get mad when people can't hear you. Get a megaphone already! They're only $13 each at Harbor Freight. We pay full membership fees for our family. There should be no excuse as to why the aquatics dept can't afford this.

Very warm and welcoming environment. They do allow tours. they also have an E-GYM which you can create a personalized appointment for it which is used for your personal workout program. They have various classes and programs that you can join with your membership there are so many perks of having a membership. I absolutely love goin swimming here also. 🥰🤗

Just moved (back) into town and was excited to join the Y on a family plan with our daughter. The value for what you can access is fantastic! Michelle helped sign us up and was so patient and kind to finish our registration even though it was past closing time (5pm) and above and beyond to then sign our daughter up for swim classes as well (8 classes for $60!!!)

We are enjoying the Wilson Y! We were looking fir a swim team for our children and found one here at the Y. It is actually Aiken Armada swim team from the Aiken Y so we hope our Wilson Y can have a local swim team again. Byt for now our whole family us enjoying the indoor pool at the Wilson Y. The staff is friendly and my children are happy there.
