I was urged off the wall a few times by Coach Chris and the woman over the program (I think) & finally let go. Coach Chris is a great coach! He encouraged me & was very patient as I hesitantly followed his direction. I actually did 2 laps w/ the noodle focusing on kicks and breathing! That's the most progress I've had in a swim class in a 30-minute lesson! I guess I should note, this was a private lesson and previously I've taken group lessons. Either way, I gained the most progress and satisfaction from this one class than I have in the 4 group classes I've taken twice. I can't wait to see my progress at the end of the classes. The showers and changing areas are clean and adequate. Everyone from the front desk staff to the other personnel were friendly.

I can't believe this hasn't been yelped yet (maybe I missed it in my search?)…read more My kids hit the pandemic right at the age where they would have probably started swim lessons, and we didn't end up doing it; so, they were both behind on swimming ability, and my younger one (currently age 7) really didn't like the water at all. After my son had a scary incident in a friend's pool, we were more motivated to get started, and signed up both kids last summer (2022). I didn't know what to expect at all, but we've been really thrilled with the program. We do the classes at North Ormewood Park, which is a private residence who rents their pool out for these (ironically I had been to this pool before when I had rented it on swimply! that was a cool coincidence because it made my younger one a bit less scared to go). This pool is a mile from my house, which is fantastic. I think all the classes are at outdoor pools but I'm not totally sure about this. The regular sessions are two weeks each, M-W, half hour back to back, from beginner and increasing in levels until the latest / most advanced class. The kids practice together, with lots of individualized attention (I think it's a 2:1 instructor ratio) and then get a sticker. They have a groupme for communication and lightning delays. They will try to delay if they can, but can reschedule on Thursday if they have to cancel entirely. If it's raining but not lightning, you WILL swim! I think the M-W 2 week program is really perfect for our family because it's only a 2-week commitment at a time, and the 3-days in a row piece gets the kids to learn faster. My daughter basically went from not being able to tread water to full on swimming in a single 2-week session. But she LOVES being in the water; my son is a bigger challenge because he didn't naturally like the water as much, doesn't like putting his face underwater, etc. But this 2nd year he's made a ton of progress and is self-motivated to practice at the pool outside of lessons. Their website can be a bit overwhelming to follow, but they are so flexible and responsive. The first time I signed up I had no idea what level to put my kids in. I was worried that my son's level of swimming was matched up with an age level starting at like, age 2, which would potentially be embarrassing for him. They gave me a suggestion over email, and then my daughter was a bit more advanced than that so they let her come to the later class instead. Likewise this session, my son signed up for a class that wound up being too advanced for him, and he's getting a ton of individual attention, but they let him try the earlier class and it seems a better fit - he's still on the older end of that class but it doesn't seem at all a problem. And the instructors are so cute with them, and everyone is so pleasant to work with. We'll continue with water wings until our kids are confident swimmers!

Our instructor knows my daughter well and knows the perfect "next step" with her in the pool. It's backyard swimming with great instructors who show you how to take what you learn with you.

I suggest if you want to join that you ask about a day/week pass to decide before joining! Or ask a friend for a guest pass. The price is great and referrals are awesome! You get a discount on your next renewal and your friend gets a discount too! Good luck on finding a workout place! For me it's close and the childcare is a plus.
