I bike around town and used to pop into various Y's for a swim. Now that's impossible because they do not provide towels. If you want to make a workout part of your every day--a good idea--you must carry a towel around with you (and then a soggy wet towel). The accessibility of the Y, the enjoyment of the Y, and the dollar value of the Y has dropped. Know who else hates this policy? Every single member of the Y. When they stopped providing towels, the price did not go down. I have loved the Y for decades but this love affair has ended.
