Flowood Branch YMCA — Local services in Flowood

The crowd at the YMCA in Flowood is nice, and they have a great lap pool with good instructors. However, some of their front desk workers are very dry and unhelpful.

The Y should also inform members via email and text message when the lap pool and therapy pool are closed. I came this evening to swim in the lap pool, but it was closed for lifeguard training. I never received a notification about this via text or email, which is why I uselessly wasted a trip to the Y and Flowood. A front desk worker informed me to download the app for notifications, but didn’t want to help me in anyway.

They never told me that I should rent a locker if I leave my swimming staff longer than one day since the first day of my membership, and because I have ankylosing spondylitis conditions with my right leg, I did not go there for like a month, then today when I plan to swim found all my stuff were gone, and the staff told me all the things have been donated to goodwill???
