For some context, my daughter previously took a full year of lessons at one of those big box schools and still was not confident in the water. We took a break from lessons altogether because I couldn't justify the continuing cost for very little progress and every time I looked up classes it seemed to be the same sort of program we had left.

The facility is also fantastic--very clean and playful looking; perfect for kids. I'm still a little unsure of how I feel about the business model. You have to pay for the months' lessons up front, and if for some reason you can't make it, you don't get refunded for any lessons you cancel. The money also doesn't go towards the next month's balance; you simply have to do makeup lessons or lose those funds. For a family like ours that struggled to find a consistent lesson time at all, scheduling makeup lessons has proved tricky, but we do have to miss a lesson once in a while. Not sure what the solution is here. I also came by the facility during business hours to sign my kids up, but the doors were shut and locked, even though they were open? Luckily the staff saw me and opened up the doors to let me in, but had they not, we probably wouldn't have signed up. We wanted to visually look at the facility before committing, so a phone call didn't work for us. Hopefully this feedback proves helpful. We're eagerly looking forward to our next swim lesson!

Usually each session consists of 4 students and 4 instructors. I love how each student gets their own instructor! The pool is plenty big for the 4 separate swim lessons to take place. They have shaded areas for the parents to sit and watch their students. They also have a bathroom incase the student needs to go during the lesson. Lessons are 20 minutes a day for 5 days. It's best to book 2 weeks of lessons, but spread them out. You also need to be quick about registering because lessons sell out fast! I suggest following them on Facebook and signing up for emails through their website. If you don't get lessons, sometimes people sell theirs on the Hunsaker Swimming Facebook page. I'll definitely be signing my daughter up again next year!

I feel like they did a good job teaching him and maybe two weeks of lessons would be perfect for him.

There is a little colored flag that says swim lessons on it but if you didn't see it like me, yes drive down the long driveway past the little playground and camping trailer. There are places to pull off to park or you can park on the north side driveway near the chickens/turkeys. DO NOT use the actual driveway at all. They made that very clear in the email. The swim lessons take place in the backyard, there's a big playground the children are allowed to play on and there is a bathroom available.

We arrived for our first lesson for my 20 month old and I was surprised to see the school is just in someone's back yard. There were two instructors in the pool and no one else from the business around, so after a bit of confusion, we just sat by some other parents and waited our turn. What we saw was horrifying. Both infants in the water were screaming and crying, just desperate to get out. The poor mom next to me was holding her face in agony watching her baby scream like that. In fact, all the parents we saw there had that same agonizing look on their faces. The instructors didn't even seem phased. They must see that a lot, because they just kept going, stone faced with the kids. Eventually one of the kids just started violently vomiting in the water. It was not pretty! The instructor again didn't even seem phased and just took a net and scooped up the floating pieces at the top of the water. Ummm gross! When it was my sons turn I took him to the water and he started playing with some toys. I was hopeful he might not cry the whole time! After he got in, he too started screaming and wailing to be with a stranger in the water. I can understand kids don't like that sort of thing, but it just seemed like the instructor was awful with kids because all he did was, with a monotone voice, say "it's okay. You're okay, etc" which obviously did nothing to calm my child. After 18 agonizing minutes of watching my child's jaw shake from crying so hard, I went to the instructor and asked if that was normal. He said it was, and it usually isn't until the 5th or 6th lesson that they learn how to float and stop crying the whole way through. These lessons are $30 a piece, so getting to 5 lessons would be $150 of your child screaming, choking and wishing they were anywhere else. That night my poor toddler had nightmares all night long! There were snacks for the kids to eat at a table nearby, but they all cost money and you needed to Venmo to take something. The whole vibe of this place is just off! Kids screaming and vomiting in the water, cold instructors who don't seem to care or know how to calm children, and a crazy hot backyard with barely any shade to sit under. (We actually had to sit sideways to avoid the 99° sun during the lesson) it's not worth the money I paid upfront to go back to any lessons. I would definitely not recommend this school to anyone. I'm sure the peace of mind of having your child learn to swim or float is invaluable, but I'll do it somewhere where the journey isn't such a scarring experience for the child and parents alike.

We had a different teacher this time because it was different time. This teacher was incompetent and not experienced teaching children starting from knowing nothing, and not being comfortable with swimming. I walked in with my son and took him to his lesson and told the teacher it was only his second leson, he is very beginner, and also super quiet, meaning he probably wouldn't talk to her. I proceeded to go to the parent area after leaving my son with her. Five minutes after saying this, she proceeds to put his face underwater without his consent. My son is not ready for this. He can barely blow bubbles. Last lesson the teacher did not do this. She understood his silence meant he wasn't ready. This should have been in his record that he cannot hold his breath under water, what his last lesson was like, where he is at, etc. At this point my son is screaming crying, since he cannot hold his breath, he breathed in water when he went under by someone he was forced to trust to teach him the survival skill that is swimming. I rush in there to find out what happened. I asked if she got his consent for going under. She said he did not say anything, he did not nod his head yes or no. Meaning he gave no consent since he is extremely shy. She thought him not saying anything was consent! She thought that it would be okay to dunk his head after getting no response and seeing how timid he was! SILENCE IS NOT CONSENT! Total lack of awareness. Obviously he was not ready to go under water. The deck supervisor was there and she was very condescending saying the top of his head wasn't wet. Like that excuses the fact he is coughing up water sobbing! The very top of his head wasn't wet, but he went underwater without knowing how to hold his breath, causing him to breathe in water, and choke. And she tried to excuse that and invalidate what my son is going through. I immediately took him out of there and spoke with a manager. The deck supervisor proceeded to follow me and again argue and make excuses while I spoke with the manager. I had to tell her stop arguing with me- her attitude was completely uncalled for and unprofessional. I demanded I refund for what I had paid and told them to cancel the membership for I would never return. My son is still crying while all this is happening, he cannot calm down until we leave the building. The manager handled it well and refunded our money, and said it shouldn't have happened. I am astounded there is no communication on where a child is at in thier skill level? And no consistency between the first and second class? Why is this teacher using her hands to put my son underwater when he is not ready, while the teacher last week went slow and never did that, only poured a little water on his head with a toy to get him used to the idea? Awful awful experience overall and I'm so sad my son had to go through that. I feel immense guilt I left him with someone who made him feel unsafe and in danger. He has this negative experience on his swim lesson journey so this has set us back on his progress and willingness to continue else where with swim lesssons. Other parents with brand new swimmers need to be aware of the inconsistencies and lack of communication, as well as instructors with very little experience working with children who are nervous and shy, and starting brand new. Also, this instructor was not the one we signed up with too- it was a different name when I signed up. So be prepared for inconsistency in instructors as well.
