Went to their summer Day Camp in Metairie when it was located on Houma Blvd. Loved the time spent at the J.Q Adams field doing outside activities there. After lunch they would bus us back to the Y to swim. Even as a kid, I thought that there were too many kids in that indoor pool, probably peeing everywhere. The chlorine was so strong, the fumes burned my eyes. Decided that I would sit on the edge of the pool instead of getting into the water. Director came by, and insisted that I had to get in the water. Was a total arse about it. Never went back.

The Metairie YMCA on Houma Blvd, had one of the biggest pools I've ever seen. The competition pool ran cross wise to it...

There are very few YMCAs that exist at all anymore.
The one in Katy Texas is very nice and very popular

Back then they still had the high diving board at the deep end of the pool and it was a rite of passage to jump from it. Not everyone was willing to do it. Of course I did. I don't know how high it really was (probably <20ft) but back then it seemed like 100ft.

Funny you should post this. Many young folks believe that most moms stayed home and dad provided for the family off one income. I’m 60, my mom always worked as did the moms of all my friends.

Worked at the one off Hollywood near Plank Rd. for 3 summers 77-80. What a great time that was
