text: Ever since my office moved up to the University area, this is my \"go to\" Y during the week.  Even though I missed the convenience of the Y's downtown - Childress & Dowd, this one is a good replacement and it saves me from driving downtown for a workout.\n\nRecently I have picked up swimming in the mornings before work... well it's better described as \"systematic drowning\".  The pool lifeguard is super friendly.  She was even giving me tips on my form.  If I think about it more I think she was \"concerned\" about me so... hence the tips.  I've got a ways to go before I am Michael Phelps, but I am glad the Univ City Y is helping me on my way to the Olympics (j/k).\n\nThis Y is as large as the other branches in the area and has lots of family programs - after school care, etc that you can take advantage of while getting your burn on.  Every thing is kept clean and maintained - the staff is there for you when you need them.\n\nThe parking lot leaves a little to be wanted, but it is functional (if people follow the one way signs).  At least the Y is off of a side street (not directly on WT Harris), but you have to time it right less you get caught in the traffic nightmare that happens there every rush hour twice a day.
