Expensive

The pool is kept very clean. The staff and members are like family. Everyone looks out for each other!

For a lap swimmer, the Bridgewater YMCA is unmatched. Wonderful for the many seniors who support the Y so they can improve their lives through swimming - - the perfect fitness exercise.

communication is so bad, changes in schedule like maintenance short notice

I like the 25 METER pool. I DO NOT think the pool should be changed to 25 yards. Poor move.

womens locker room!!!

since 1980. I consider my 5-day week swimming as a principal factor in my good health condition at the age of 97. Thanks to the great staff including lifeguards I’ll continue to work out for as long as I can.

I swim a lot at Bridgewater YMCA, showers and locker rooms need repair and face lift. I cannot speak on the womens locker area.

Staff is friendly and the pool schedule has been fairly accurate over the summer. One thing needs to be addressed. Especially with campers and swim team at the pool, the changing room and shower stalls need to be cleaned. The walls in the shower stalls are pretty gross and the shower curtains are in disrepair. Other than that I'm very pleased with the Bridgewater Y.

the water is a tad chilly for me; but I know others like it cold. Some guards are helpful and friendly; others not so much. The sauna is kind of dirty; there is always some kind of gritty material on the benches. All in all, I'm grateful to have somewhere to swim, as Hillsborough does not offer much swim time to adults in the summer.

Your website says the locker room is closed 11:45 to noon when in fact it was closed till 3 pm. When finished swimming the other day I had to leave dripping wet

Love the pool with so many lanes! And the speed dryer for swimsuits - so much better than the one at the Somerset Hills Y.

Famosas tic facilities

Great pool!

the pool is basically closed to members in the mornings from Sept to the end of June due to swim team practice. I would like to be able to swim early morning during the year besides July and August

Lack of available open swim hours. PS. I know that you can see who submits this.

Friendly staff and facilities are clean and neat. Men’s locker room needs some upgrades. Water faucets need replacing in shower area and the scale needs to be replaced. Facility is managed well but just needs minor upgrades.

You keep sending this to the wrong email, despite my attempts to let you know. MB in Florida.

While the pool is amazing, the locker room could really use an update and a cleaning (the towel dryer smells moldy). And the hours are extremely unfriendly to anyone who works during the day or isn't a swim team member

The swimming pool is great, however the hot water supply to shower is very unstable and very unpleasant.

replace the broken fan in the women's locker room. It has not worked in couple of years. Really needed on hot summer days.

The pool is great I always get my own lane and it is clean

Love the masters swim at the bridgewater pool.

Great archery instructors

Bridgewater Y is a great place to swim. The staff and members are friendly and caring.

Item was stolen from locker room and site director did nothing to address it. Poor communication, poor course of action. Really disappointed.

I find the water too cold, and the locker room old and not equiped for handicapped women. I only go to the Bridgewater pool when the aquatics classes are moved there from the Somerville pool

The whole building needs updating. The outside needs a good power wash and stain job. It is an embarrassment.

The pool temperature is way too cold, the locker rooms need updating, and there are no available rooms for land classes.

Given the lack of regard for our senior aquatics classes' members for over a year now, I would classify myself as a hypocrite to even invite someone to classes or even attempt to describe the obstacles we physically faced upon entering the building.
-the unsafe staircase
-the darkness of the approach
-the noise of jackhammers, various electric tools
-the dust and particles of the ceiling falling into the the pool
-the decisions by someone to arbitrarily assign our only choice to go to Bridgewater whenever plans for construction topped our needs all this while raising our membership fee
-the lack of communication regarding changes or messages

Positives:
Catherine O'Hara, our instructor
Ruth, always welcoming us with a warm smile and accurate information
the friends we have added over all the years, to laugh with each other, to support each other when someone needs it, to share recipes

Great facilities and ataff

always greeted with a good morning and a friendly smile.......

The Y has always been a friendly place

The friendly and helpful staff is always ready to assist. The Bridgewater pool is the best in the area and is well maintained. The camaraderie and friendly locker room experience are a positive welcoming experience.
The only real problem area is the shower room. Hot water system is unreliable and needs radical overhaul.

I enjoy swimming at the Bridgewater Y pool, it's usually not too crowded. The lifeguards are friendly and attentive, and the staff is welcoming and friendly. Overall, a great way to start the day!

ladies lockeroom is a disgrace

In fairness, I’m a YMCA employee in the aquatics department, so hard to be impartial. The water is on the cooler side, but that’s what makes it perfect for swimming laps!

Convenience as nationwide branch.

Aside from swim team, there's nothing to do there. I wish there was a place where we could work out while the kids are in the pool. At the very least, some place where we can wait and do work that a little more comfortable than folding chairs and tables.

The locker room is not cleaned often. When you have two weeks close to improve the facility in late August, we expect to be fixed anything that are not in good shape and cleaned but this last year the locker room was not good shape. I wish the superviser could visit to see that at least minimal things are fixed, like the shower curtains. I don’t expect much but the cleanliness is very important to us. Also when you increase the remember ship rate, it will be nice to be notified in advance. Just send emails to let us know. We understand it is necessary to increase. Other than that I enjoy swimming at the Bridgewater pool. The guards are nice, too.

Friendly staff and excellent pool facility

I went to the Masters Swimming Meet run by Ed Tsuzuki and it was the best! It's a nice facility and very friendly staff.

Staff is always friendly, love the pool length and number of lanes

Bridgewater Y only offers a pool. Most people I know are looking for a gym. BWT does not offer a gyn

If Pete is not at Bridgewater for 5 am, it’s a wait game until someone is awake and answers phone - even those in charge - to get someone in. Lack of care for those on schedule. This happens pretty regularly

The pool itself is great. The locker rooms and showers are so old dated. Could all do with modernising.

An old pool in need of renovation and other YMCA activities.

Construction has had a big negative impact-due to displacement and cancellations of classes. General inconvenience of access to the building, everyone wandering through everywhere has made for a somewhat chaotic atmosphere which has turned people off

The pool is great, but you MUST do something about the locker rooms: heat, a/c, plumbing and separate rooms for adults/children. Also, the roof leaks - in the locker room and the pool areas.

Lanes are canceled often due to staffing. The locker rooms are not consistently clean. The dismissal of the lifeguard Jim was extremely disappointing. He took his job very seriously, got to know all the swimmers and always tried to help meet their needs. My low score is for the simple fact that I don’t know many people that strictly just swim.
