I took private swimming lessons with Bob Shirley at this Y. He is an excellent coach. He was flexible and focused on the areas I wanted to improve. My technique got much better. Also, the pool is very nice and kept warm and clean.

The Dorchester YMCA has been a great experience. I joined for many reasons and from the receptionist Shante, to the spin instructor Marilyn and my swim instructor Robert all have made this journey such great experience. I went into swim with no expectations because drowning was always my fear. Robert guided me and was patient with me every class. He showed me the basics to lead me to feeling comfortable to doing all that we practiced on my own. He is really a great teacher /instructor, very positive attitude, and hands on. I continue to use his guidance whenever I'm there. Its been a joy being apart of the Y experience.
