While Kris and her team are passionate about swim instruction, I came here to say that I think it…read moreis INCREDIBLY important that anyone seeking to take lessons here with a young child, say under 3, understands that Kris uses ISR training. PLEASE PLEASE research for yourself whether ISR is right for you and your child. (After my own research and consultation with numerous other swim experts- literally a drowning expert witness- it is NOT as safe as FVSA or other ISR experts will claim it is). Personally-- it was not for me or my child. It was traumatic for her, caused MORE fear of the water than she originally had, and she took in too much water and puked during 3 separate lessons and Kris brushed it off as normal (and I soon was assured by NUMEROUS swim coaches and medical professionals that it is NOT). When I expressed concerns, I DO appreciate that Kris seemed receptive, however, her teaching style is just not compatible with how I want my daughter handled. I wish this were different because I do think Kris is a passionate, very good person and maybe this teaching style works for some, and potentially for older children. But if you are starting with a child under 3, please beware that it is difficult to watch and in MY opinion after a LOT of research, does not provide the long term safety alleged by ISR advocates.

I've been a member of this gym for about three years, and have always had positive experiences with…read morestaff but I was very disappointed by my experience this morning 6/20/26 with the employee who identified herself as the new GM, Brianna (long dark hair). After I checked in, she informed me that a photo was now required for member check-ins due to a new policy from upper management. I explained that I was unaware of the policy and would be happy to take the photo on a different day, but offered to provide my ID for verification in the meantime. Her response was, "Then you can't come in," delivered in a dismissive and unprofessional manner. When I asked to speak with someone else in charge, she replied, "It's me, and I'm not asking anyone else for you on the weekend." I understand that policies change and employees are expected to enforce them. My concern is not with the policy itself (although I do think something should be posted to set clear expectations), but with the way the situation was handled. As a long-time member, I expected a much more respectful and customer-focused interaction. If Brianna is indeed your new GM, I would encourage additional training in professionalism and member relations, as experiences like this can drive away loyal clients.

I can't say enough great things about The Ripple Effect, Miranda is truly amazing. I'm not sure how…read moreshe does it, but she perfectly balances empathy, patience, and guidance for both students and parents. To be completely honest, I was ready to give up after the first week. There were tears those first few days from both my daughter and me and I wasn't sure I had made the right decision. My daughter had been in traditional swim classes every year since she was 2, and now at 4, we decided to try ISR. While those classes were a great introduction, they were more play-based, and I'll admit I never pushed her. She never even wanted to get her face wet, and we tended to comfort her rather than challenge her. So stepping outside our comfort zone in week one was tough. There were tears, screams, maybe a few scratches, and some very angry looks directed at Miranda by my daughter.. sorry, Miranda.. Knowing the water safety benefits ISR provides, I told myself I'd give it two weeks. To my surprise, by the start of week two, my daughter was excited for swim class. I was beyond shocked. She had developed trust and respect for Miranda and knew she was there to guide and support her. It was truly beautiful to watch. Before I knew it, she was jumping off the steps, swimming, and floating. Watching her go from refusing to get her face wet to confidently jumping in and swimming like a little fish was incredible. I truly cannot recommend The Ripple Effect enough. The confidence and skills my daughter has gained along with the peace of mind for us as parents is truly priceless. We are already looking forward to yearly refreshers!

Our two boys did ISR at similar ages with a different instructor, but we decided to make the 30-minute drive for Miranda--and it was 100% worth it. You can tell she really knows what she's doing and connects so well with the kids. Her schedule was always consistent and reliable, which made a big difference for us. Most importantly, we now feel like our daughter is truly pool safe. Highly recommend to anyone considering ISR!
