On three different occasions, the older lifeguard with short white hair has ruined our time at the YMCA Plainfield swimming pool. My kids were in the pool having a good time for 20 minutes, with the other lifeguards on duty, no problem. Then she came in and complained we weren’t following some rule about being within arms reach, the kids can touch the entire pool flat footed easily, I was in the pool to my ankles, activity watching them, not on a phone or distracted and she comes in after us being there 20 minutes and she says it’s not okay and runs to get her manager.If you are having a good time, she will find a way to ruin it.I’m tired of the YMCA hiring people with no common sense.The Y is built on community and bringing people together and she, that particular employee, chases people away.

Very crowded at all times. There is never anywhere to play basketball. The mornings have adult games on the weekends and they take the entire gym. Then there are programs and parties that take up the gym. With all the money in membership and parties, you would think they would expand the gym. It’s hard to continue to pay membership and my kids can never play here. Checked back 3 years later after originally writing this, still same thing.

I can get a workout in while my child plays with other kids in the child watch area or during her ballet on Saturday. She loves the pool. Fitness/activities for mother and child for just over $2 a day. Can't beat that for this quality. I feel safe leaving my child in the day care as one must pass through multiple entryways and several employees to get in! Go during the week when there is less people, if possible.
