Old Colony YMCA - Stoughton

Today, some friends and I were at the outdoor pool with several children, enjoying our summer vacation. We brought snacks and some gifts for the children and planned only to play games with them. The manager approached us rudely and asked us to leave, claiming we were having a birthday party. When we asked her to explain how she had concluded this and what rules we were breaking, we were treated rudely and with little willingness to talk. The situation was embarrassing and ruined what should have been a family leisure time. The manager's lack of preparation is evident; the way she looks at people turned what should have been a moment of leisure into a chaotic situation. Several children wanted to enjoy their vacation and were forced to leave. My daughter is undergoing treatment for anxiety, and this person, who calls herself the manager, and another young man, aborted her, telling her to gather all her things and leave the premises. How can you put someone like that in charge of a place where people of all ages circulate? How can she go up to a child and tell them to leave? She's rude, abrupt, and bad-tempered; she's just a manager and she has this attitude. I was informed by empl

I joined the Stoughton YMCA about three months ago on a two-adult, one-child family membership that costs nearly $100 per month. In reality, I'm the primary person using the membership, and I mainly use the pool for lap swimming. After a severe car accident, swimming has become an important part of my recovery. It's essentially my physical therapy and one of the few ways I can safely push myself athletically. Because of that, it is incredibly frustrating to repeatedly see posted lap swim hours on the MotionVibe app, only to arrive between 4:00–6:00 PM and find the limited lap lanes occupied by children who are not participating in a program. These are often open swimmers crossing over from the recreational swim area into the lap lanes. I've approached lifeguards on multiple occasions and asked if the lap lanes could be kept available for their intended purpose. The responses are usually along the lines of, "Sorry, this is a community pool, there's nothing I can do," or "I'm the only guard on duty and can't leave the stand." I don't blame the young lifeguards. As a former YMCA director, I understand they're often doing the best they can with the resources they're given. My quest

I would not recommend the adult swim classes at this place. My class was changed without any previous notice, and they only told me once I was already in the pool. They said they had sent an email about the change, but I never received anything. As a new adult swimmer, the communication and organization made me feel very uncomfortable and disappointed with the experience. Because of this, I decided not to continue with the classes. When I asked for a refund, they refused to give it to me and only canceled the following month instead. That was even more disappointing because it made me feel like they did not truly care about the quality of the service they provide or about their customers’ experience.

This YMCA is great for small kids and families. But I will say that the bathrooms/changing rooms really need an upgrade. Kinda make you not want to use them 🤢🤮 Staff is friendly but some give you different answers in regard to activities. My toddler loves to play there which I highly recommend but again those bathrooms are a turnoff ….

So, I have been a member of the Stoughton YMCA for some time now. In fact, both my daughters went to the Stoughton Y camp for years, but I'll get into that a little later. So I love the stuff at Stoughton Y. Lately, the Y is going downhill fast. No one ever clears up equipment that is left everywhere all the time; I spend about 15 minutes cleaning up and putting things back. Yes, the person who uses it should put it back, but if they don't, the Stoughton Y stuff should be cleaned up. Please see the pictures below. Also, due to the stuff not cleaning up and re-stacking the weights right, my $1,000 cell phone got smashed, and I had a witness that saw the whole thing, it cost me $300.00 to fix, and I had the report done to the Stoughton Y and the witness and still they said sorry not helping you fit your phone :(. Ok, on to Stoughton Y camp! Last year, my 7-year-old attended the Stoughton Y. We paid a lot of money to have her go there. Well, my 7-year-old dug up a used rubber. That's all I'm going to say. Did Stoughton Y do anything? Yeah, "sorry," that was really about it. I love the stuff at the Stoughton Y, but really Stoughton Y. UPDATE 3/9/2024 Nelson has to be the worst perso
