Amazing deals on summer swim lessons! My daughter has loved learning and loves the instructors!! My younger daughter has been getting used to being in the water and playing around while we wait for her sister's swim lesson. The pool is excellent for beginning children getting used to the water as well as experienced swimmers and everyone in between. Staff are friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend any of their swimming classes. So glad we have a great place like this in El Mirage!

“My daughter has been with the YMCA basketball team for two seasons, and we absolutely love it! The coaches are amazing and always encourage the kids to do their best. The place is clean, well-organized, and the staff are very friendly and supportive. She’s learned great skills, built confidence, and has so much fun every game. Highly recommend this program! 🏀✨”

“Our family has really enjoyed being part of the YMCA community! The staffs are friendly and accommodating. BIG SHOUTOUT to Devra and Josie! There’s a strong sense of safety and inclusiveness. Coach Washington has been especially amazing—our kids have grown so much in confidence and skill thanks to his support in basketball. They always look forward to his classes!

Our family has really enjoyed being part of the YMCA community! The staffs are friendly and accommodating. BIG SHOUTOUT to Devra and Josie! There’s a strong sense of safety and inclusiveness. Coach Washington has been especially amazing—our kids have grown so much in confidence and skill thanks to his support in basketball. They always look forward to his classes!
We love that there are programs for all age groups, but it would also be great to see more activities for younger children (ages 3+), like gymnastics or beginner ballet—something fun and structured, just like the sports fest for the older kids.
An outdoor pickleball court would also be a great addition! It’s such a fun, growing sport for all ages, and having a dedicated space would bring even more families and members together.
Overall, it’s a great place for families to stay active, learn, and have fun together. Looking forward to more improvements and programs in the future!

“Great! The kids really love how Coach Washington helps them get better at playing basketball.
It would be even better if there was a pickleball court and longer swimming hours on the weekends and Y Kids. Also, adding activities like gymnastics or ballet classes for younger kids (ages 3+)—similar to the sports fest offered for the older kids—would be a great addition!”
- Rae Legaspi
“I definitely would recommend what the YMCA has to offer to family and friends! It’s a great atmosphere for the entire family. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable the gym is very nice and welcoming and clean . And they have a wide variety of sports and activities for kids to do and enjoy for all ages and teens Aswell. My family and I enjoy the Y a lot as new members of January 2025. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
