Santa Maria Valley YMCA — Local services in Orcutt

The main reason I joined was to swim, last time I tried to use the pool I was told by the lifeguard (bobby) that I can't go in the pool with my jammers (literally swimming jammers and I was wearing underwear under so it wasn't extra revealing) he wasn't able to give me a reason though, so i went to the front desk and got no answers either, I called the aquatics director for answers, it's been over 2 months and I still haven't got a call, text , email etc , to add insult to injury he did allow a mom and her kids on basketball shorts and graphic tees to get in the pool even THAT is against the rules ,also I went to the ymca site and funny enough they have a picture of the same jammers i was wearing on their " recommended swimwear " this is ridiculous, if you're going to hire highschoolers at least train them properly, this feels like an unprofessional bad joke.

Great service, for the most part. Some areas lacking, such as how the front desk handles some issues and these are locked to a few certain employees so I know when to approach an issue with them. Beyond that, there's a great pool with hot-tub spa, dry-sauna, and wet-sauna; two full-featured (and redesigned) locker-rooms for either (bio) gender with lockers, restrooms, and showers; a free-weight room, a cardio room (with more machine weights), two indoor basketball courts and one outdoor basketball court, two racquetball courts, workout classes (many per day), a full-functioning day-care, a skate-park, and a soccer field. I'm sure I am missing some things, however all of these facilities wind together to create a wonderful atmosphere that the YMCA...
