I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff and facilities at Foss Swim School. Every teacher we've had has been patient, kind, encouraging, and so understanding. The management staff has been flexible with our family and clingy toddler who needed to be in-between levels. Both of our kids have made great progress and LOVE going to swim class! The locker rooms are clean, spacious, and showers are hot with great soap. We're so thankful for the people who work at Foss and have cared for our family. We will be here for a long time!

Foss Swim in Libertyville is an excellent facility for swimmers to learn the techniques and skills required for proficiency. I enrolled my child to refine her strokes and flip turn skills in preparation to join our community swim team. The staff and coaches are attentive and caring. Swimmers are continually assessed and moved into more challenging levels as the acquire new skills. The environment is family friendly and they genuinely want the children to have fun and support their peers. We thank you Libertyville Foss for helping us reach the next step in swimming :)

We just completed a two-week swim class with our four year old daughter and it was an all around A+. Teachers were patient, facility was safe, class size was small, and the mood felt welcoming to a new swimmer. Last summer, we tried lessons at Adler Pool and the "teachers" were more concerned with their hair and sunglasses looking cool than making sure that the kids didn't drown. I actually had to run into the pool to pull out my submerged daughter out, because the teacher wasn't paying attention to the large group of 10+ kids in the class. Foss Swim school is much, much better than that experience.

Don't back what they say. Over crowded, poorly staffed. Save your money and go to a community program. What a joke will not be back.

After 8 years as a customer I've decided to go elsewhere. My daughter went thru the program…read morewithout many issues. My son, however, has been slower to learn. After the 3rd time taking the same class, I was denied the "swimmers guaranteed". Which states that if your swimmer repeats a level 2x they will be offered assistance the 3rd time. If they have to repeat the level a 4th time, it's is supposed to be "on us". I'm being told that because two of my sons attempts at the level were "camps" ie 4x a week for 2 weeks and 4x a week for a month, that I didn't qualify for extra help in his 3rd go round because "camps don't count" and likewise the 4th "on us" session per the technicality. I have been at the school for numerous turnovers that have directly affected the quality and consistency of their programs. I have never once complained. Now, when my son is struggling, I have been shown no understanding or treatment like a valued customer of 8 years. Shame on you.

We have been attending swim classes for several weeks now. I wanted to allow some time before I…read morewrote this review, because an over-estimate for a restaurant and somebody has a bad meal. Overestimate a swim teacher, and somebody could drown. I feel confident giving Foss 5 stars. We have had several teachers over the weeks for various reasons and almost all have been really great. Julia, Jennifer, Dayonara and Jeremy have all been fantastic. My kids have made such great progress, it is mind blowing. They seem a little pricey but there are options to keep costs down if you can be flexible with your schedule. And frankly, all swim schools may be pricey now, I have no idea. It is always clean, and safe. Everybody is in such a good mood. A great environment for kids. Highly recommended.
