This place needs to get updated. Locker rooms are good but swimming pools are small and it's overpriced for what you can get compared to the Rocky Ridge location with a bigger hot tub, slides and a lazy river.

Positives:
The volunteers tend to be a highlight and are usually pretty friendly. Some of the staff are great as well, but not all.
The gym is half decent and I love going on the walking track.
The Negatives:
The pool staff are all over the place with rules, they tend not to be consistent which makes it confusing. Additionally, the pool is always slammed with lessons and classes that limit the pool from families just wanting to play around in the evening. My daughter is always disappointed here.
The men's change rooms plumbing is a disaster. Sinks, toilets are often broken down and spilling brown stuff over the floor. If people can't wash their hands in a gym.....that's just sick man. They gotta get that fixed.
I wish there was a better place close to home to bring my kid...this place kinda sucks to be honest.

The facility is nice. The volunteer team works hard to keep it clean.
The adolescents that hang around on the weight floor are rude and inconvenient. No one that works there seems to pay them any attention though.

Well, I have never been so disappointed in a facility and its staff anywhere else in Calgary. On my commute home from Downtown Calgary to the deep south east of Calgary which takes an hour and 15 minutes each way on public transit, but that is another rant for Calgary Transit to fix.
I have a City of Calgary Recreation pass so I can visit any city owned facility during regular business hours. My cell phone died today on my commute so I decided to stop at the Shawnessey YMCA just to relax a bit and charge my phone a bit before finishing my transit home. I chose a quieter place in the facility to plug in that is at the beginning of the long hallway that connects the YMCA to the High School that is in the same building. There was a registration table there that was not busy and there was no one signing up for the for YMCA Summer Day camps with one young adult male there looking after registration. A few minutes later a few girls came out from the day camp as well and you could tell that they were talking about me as they were looking at me while all silently whispering among themselves. About a minute later, the young male came over and asked me , " are you here picking up someone from the day camps?", I stated no, that
I was just there to charge my phone as the battery had died and needed a quick charge up before going home. He then looked at me and said, "if you are not here to pick someone up from the day camps then you need to move yourself elsewhere as there are parents coming through here shortly and you cannot sit here" I have never been more appalled by the attitude of this young guy, and his female workmates who were the ones that asked the young guy to come ask me to leave as he said nothing to me before they arrived and never been more publicly embarrassed by anyone in my life. This is a public building that I am registered with the city of Calgary and hold a recreation pass which gives me the right to be in the facility to start with. The city of Calgary needs to have sensitivity training given to its staff about the when and how to speak professionally and to be respectful to members of the community no matter how old they are , the color of skin, the age or sexuality what happened to me was ageist, was not based on anything but immature school girls and boys that need to be education a public shaming . I do fully expect to hear from a member of the management staff from the YMCA Summer Camp by Monday of next week.

The ladies washrooms are filthy and smell urine all the time. Now, with the water restrictions it’s worse. We do not have access to the pool. I am wondering if we are going to have any partial refund for this month. 6 years ago, this gym was better. I am disappointed and will look for new place.
