This place just keeps getting better! It's a top-notch facility with new, well-maintained equipment and fantastic classes, and even more importantly, the Brandywine YMCA offers a warm and welcoming environment! Thank you to all of the staff and volunteers who work to continuously improve this wonderful place.

My child has Autism. Found out through the Aquatics Assistant Director, that they have an Aquatics class that is partnered with Autism Delaware. What a blessing this has been. Plus, the basics class was already maxed, but she insisted that we get him started anyway. So, she had us register for the strokes class.... And his one-on-one instructor would teach him the basics. My husband and I couldn't be happier and more grateful. We also joined the Y as a family so my son would continue swimming. Plus, since joining, we're looking into some classes. The Y has so much to offer. My husband is into cycling and I've always wanted to try Zumba. And there's a drop off area for my son to go play in while we do a class or work out. We couldn't be happier.

Is this a joke? Does Wilmington have standards??? People of Wilmington you need to look at what other YMCAS are offering & STOP going to the Wilmington YMCA’s . They would have no choice but to close down and refurbish.Since photos speak louder than a rant, just look at what other YMCAS look like....don’t you feel ripped off now???**Based on Brandywine YMCA’s response, their needing further clarification (no surprise there, since they cannot recognize they need to shut down & refurbish) Please be advised that other YMCA’s do not change extra for having medical staff on site!

Programs and activities are great at all of the DE YMCA’s but Brandywine is exceptional with its service and welcoming attitude plus I think its the most cleanest of the facilities and not because it just got updated but its been always in tip top condition.

Summer camp, specifically Explorer Boys, is amazing!!! So grateful to send my son to this camp for most of the summer. Ivy and her team really run a great camp. The staff are very supportive and encourage my son to try new things.

The Y offers so many classes now that they have expanded. The fitness center is amazing, and spinning is a hit! Staff are motivating and push you to your limit so that you get the best workout.

Place is decent unfortunately most ppl don't follow rules of the gym or the pools. Lifeguards are properly trained but pool rules depend on which lifeguard is on duty. If there are any excess amount of children in the pool during open swim, some adult will come into the pool expecting a specific lane (safe space, lol) for their specific swim, children are quartered to areas of the pool, which is, of course wrong during an open swim. Lap swimmers will swim directly into children knowing they are there. The communist (some) lifeguards aren't even in their 20's and avoid these issues due to confronting adults, but will blame and pick on children for swimming and... Just being children.

Great institution and great people. The Brandywine YMCA provides exquisite and much needed support to the community and it's members of all ages. Kudos to the new management that's taking the branch to new heights.

The atmosphere is always cheerful, the staff is most helpful in all areas of the Y. I find that everyone can find something that suits them in the form of exercise, from land classes, to machines as well as aquatic classes, swim lessons and lap swim. I especially like the Aquatic classes, that seems be for all ages.
