My 7 year old son with special needs was hesitant to get into the water for swimming lessons and Instructor MiMi was very patient and kind to him! She convinced him to get in and made it fun! She’s an angel! ❤️ Love her!

My friends at the Downtown Y keep me motivated. I’m not a super athlete. Or in amazing shape. I’m just a humble women going to class. I’m stronger and healthier. I like the tradition and history of the Downtown Y I can’t imagine life without the Y.
