Our experience at Waterworks has been exceptional from the start. After trying other swim programs…read more(what a waste!), the difference here was immediately clear. We've enrolled our children in both private and semi-private lessons and have been consistently impressed by the instruction and the progress they've made. The instructors are patient, calm, and truly attentive to each child's needs. Our kids are excited to come to their lessons, and as a parent, it's incredibly reassuring to see how thoughtfully the instructors handle different personalities and learning styles. Even during semi-private lessons, each child still receives meaningful, individualized attention. Beyond the instruction itself, the environment makes a huge difference. The facility is always clean and well maintained, and it's such a relief that the building and water are consistently warm--even in the dead of winter. We also get great use out of the play pool while siblings are waiting for their lessons, which makes scheduling multiple kids so much easier. Tyler and the management team are always responsive and supportive, and it's clear that everyone here genuinely cares about what they do. We're so glad we found Waterworks and would recommend it without hesitation.

Look no further.... Go to Waterworks!…read more My granddaughter had a traumatic experience in water at a very young age. This caused her to have extreme anxiety in and around water. Waterworks was my third and final shot for swim lessons. To say Tyler is a godsend is an understatement! Tyler worked on building trust with her and making her feel safe in the water. No matter how much she cried, Tyler never gave up on her. Without Tyler's patience, kindness, and support, our toddler would not have made the progress that she made. Fast forward six months, Tyler has taken her from a frightened baby to a toddler that loves to jump in the pool and swim under water. We can't say enough good things about Waterworks and all the staff. They are genuinely invested in the progress of your child and it shows with every lesson. Tyler, there are no words to express our gratitude for everything!

For example, 1 instructor won a world triathlon championship, another has qualified for and competed in the Iron Man Championship in Hawaii. They have classes in dance (e. g., Line Dancing & Hip Hop), pottery, swim lessons and more! It's a great place to not only work out and exercise but also to form long lasting relationships.

My husband and I still attend fitness classes / gym workouts on a regular basis. I have had very few, if any, bad experiences here. (I do agree that the pool is purposely cooler for adults that want a work out. I wonder if they could raise the temperature in the afternoons for swim classes.) I find the staff helpful and the instructors and trainers well experienced and good at instructions. They are patient and kind. Is this a state-of-the-art gym or pool? Probably not. Is it clean and are their offerings expansive at a decent price? I think so, and I will continue coming.

In just five consecutive days, my kids made more progress than they've made in years! My son went from plugging his nose just to go underwater to gliding confidently and even jumping off the diving board -- no floaties and no nose plugging! My daughter Olivia mastered gliding and incorporated arms for the freestyle. It was amazing to watch. Ms. Carol is incredibly encouraging and skilled. She teaches out of her own heated pool, and her approach is direct and effective. She's the best swim teacher around. If you want real progress and a positive experience for your child, give her one two-week session -- they will swim! This was a summer bucket list win!

We loved learning to swim with Ms Carole! When I stopped by to meet her she was very up front with…read moreme about her philosophies and passion on learning to swim as well as expected behavior from her students. My daughter had taken a few other swim lessons elsewhere so she was very comfortable in the water and going under. I think this was a large contributing factor to our swim success as Ms Carole did not need to spend that time trying to get her comfortable with going under - and we could focus more on honing her skillset. One call out for new parents is that we are asked to leave the lesson. I hung out in the driveway and could still hear everything during the lesson. My recommendation would be if you have a child who is always looking to you for direction - its best to leave so they can focus on what Ms Carole is saying instead. You can always check out the last 5 minutes of the lesson - but I found it helpful to remove myself from distractions. We were really pleased with the progress we made over the summer and my 4 y/o daughter can successfully jump in the water and make it back to the edge from the deep-end.

I can't believe M.M. and I are talking about the same place. I love this Y, along with the staff…read moreand many friends I have there. I put my kids in Child Watch a couple of times each week, and they love it. The staff in Child Watch know the kids' names. They adhere to adult/child ratios, and when needed, they call a senior staff member to CW to help out. There may be a time when some kids are acting up or one of the CW staff members has taken a short break, but the description of 20 rowdy kids is not something I've witnessed. At this Y, the staff members know your name. They greet you, they ask about your family, they ask about your job. Even with newer places popping up all over the place, I could never leave the Y. It's not just another workout facility - it's family. As for some of the other stuff in the previous review - dirty toilets, disgruntled employees, sick kids - that can happen anywhere. The Littleton Y gets my highest marks for friendliness, family-like atmosphere, child safety, workout equipment, class offerings, etc. I encourage you to check it out.

After being loyal patrons of this facility for three years, we have ultimately decided to take our…read morebusiness elsewhere. While we remained hopeful due to our children's potential, the consistent administrative failures and lack of professional integrity from management have made it impossible to stay. The management here is incredibly difficult to work with. Scheduling is a persistent challenge, and interactions with the leadership team are often met with a disrespectful and dismissive tone. Most concerning was the discrepancy between the "progress app" and the staff's assessments. Despite the app showing our kids had met the necessary benchmarks, management repeatedly insisted they "needed more time" on basic skills. This created a stagnant loop that felt more about extending tuition cycles. Policies & Make-up Classes The handling of make-up classes was the final straw. While the facility initially promises flexibility with make-ups to secure your enrollment, they make it nearly impossible to actually schedule them. When we attempted to utilize our accrued credits, we were met with resistance and instead pressured to pay for additional private lessons. It is truly a shame to see a place with such potential treat long-term clients this way. We are excited to move to a new location where we hope our children will finally receive the instruction and respect they deserve. If you are looking for a program that values progress over profit, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

My son (age 6) and my daughter (age 4) both had a lesson. They both had bundles of fun and loved Emory. All they want to do is go back and swim some more! The price is great and is cheaper than public swimming lessons. Even after this pandemic, I will not be going back to public lessons, Emory is my gal! 10/10 would recommend to all of my friends, and I have already booked sessions for the kiddies for the next incoming weeks! :)
