Review of Lower Bucks Family YMCA

The first day we signed up for a membership I was over impressed with the two ladies that were up front and their positive, happy, go-lucky attitudes. We decided to get a membership to work out at but mostly to use for their pool for our 3 kids. Let me tell you that this YMCA pool area/staff is not suited for kids. They have a tiny area to swim. There is not enough
"family times" offered during the week in order to be able to go. Lastly, when there was literally only 1-2 adult people in the pool they would not let my 3 year old in the pool without a grown up despite her fully equipped with a floatie. I am a parent that is a present parent. My 3 year old has been in many different pools with this same device to swim all by herself and never once a problem. However, I was choosing to overlook it since this is a facility. Regardless, no one was in the pool and this one time they couldn't just at least give her 15 minutes to swim. Their family times are late at night as it is so it would have been too late for me to go back home, get a shower and suited up and then bring her back. She was also very rude to my other kids. They told me that it seemed like she just hates kids since she was nice to the older people. With the size, and amount of rules they have for this pool I would not recommend to anyone with kids. I've been to another YMCA right near Souderton which is AMAZING and does a wonderful job catering to kids. Comparing this to that...it's like night and day.
