I'm an adult who has had trauma with water in the past. I was looking to take swim lessons with…read moresomeone who would be mindful of that past trauma. I signed up for an adult beginner class, but it ended up just being me. The lesson were in the pool at Columbus Academy. I did an accelerated session on Saturday and Sunday for two weeks with Katie Goggin. In six lessons, I was able to do something I've never been able to do, go under water without holding my nose. By the end, I was swimming laps to the deep end, which I am afraid of. It was a short session and I can't wait to enroll in the next one. If you think it's too late to learn to swim, it isn't!

That may be true for older learners but not for young kids. There was a level of arrogance with the instructor that was off putting. The changing was awkward if you weren't a member. Locker room wasn't available and had to change in a tent on the pool deck. They also expected a parent to be in the water with their child. All in all not a good experience.

My daughter is five years old and when we go on vacation, she can go into an adult pool on her own without any arm floats, a noodle, or anything else. She'll dive and get multiple rings from the bottom of a 5ft+ pool with no issues, she can tread water for minutes at a time, float on her back, and she's learned countless swim strokes. From a kid who was terrified of the water, to someone that is now confident and can swim independently, this has been worth every bit of it and then some!
