Very frustrating experience here with my kids' swimming lessons. They had to miss two classes, and were not allowed to make them up. And then, at the end of their session, the instructor didn't tell us it was the last class (in fact it wasn't the regular instructor but a sub, which happens all the time), so we showed up the following week to find out their session was over. They wouldn't let my two small (3 and 4) children swim, so after all that we just had to go home. There's no email reminders, no one says anything, no one even asks if you want to sign up for the subsequent session. Not a great experience. I wish there were more options in Fairfield for swimming lessons.

Do not waste your hard earned cash. I signed up for a class that I had to pay extra for and discovered that I need to miss 3 classes. They would not refund me, nor allow me to make up the classes in the next session. Nada. The womens locker room looks like it hasnt been updated since 1950. The website is nothing but a big advertisement. The only good thing are the amount of lap times if you are a swimmer. Fairfield deserves better. UPDATE, October 10, 2023. The director reached out to me to solve the issue. I thank the Y for a quick and courteous response.

I only use the pool on daily basis. The pool hours for lap swimming has become very limited. As an example, for today Oct 2nd, after 9am, for lap swimming only 2 hours is allocated for the entire day and evening . Lap swimmers are being ignored for the benefit of organized groups. This is unfair to lap swimmers, since we don't have a say in the pool schedule. This the reason for my 2 star rating.
