    We're deeply grateful our pediatrician recommended this swim school. Miss Kathy and Rob practice a…read moregentle, child-first style of teaching and the results are amazing. It's incredible to see your own child blossom into a real swimmer - without fear, and with joy in the pool - after just a few lessons. It's also incredible to see that evolution in the other children with whom you share the class. We enjoy their mindful approach for both parents and children in how they structure the classes. We also respect their extensive Montessori teaching background, which shows in how they treat each child individually, with respect and kindness and calmness, and approach swimming as a series of small steps that all come together for different leaps of skill in the water. If you care most about your child learning to swim in a supportive, gentle and loving environment, this is the school for you. You will not only nurture a safe swimmer, but also a child who discovers joy, confidence and fun in the pool.

I have brought three of my four children here over the course of the past fourteen years, and will be enrolling my fourth this summer. The owners, and coaches, Rob and Kathy McKay, not only know about swimming, but they know about children. They both continually research ways in which babies and young children learn - using fun, age-appropriate games to teach crucial swimming skills. The children are having so much fun, they don't realize they're involved in instruction. The McKays are dedicated to providing a gentle and nurturing environment in which children can learn to love swimming, without the pressure and scare tactics that some other swim schools employ. If you're wanting to drop your child off while you sit on the sidelines, this is NOT the place for you. Parents in the water with their baby/child is a must here at this school - so it really becomes a mommy (or daddy) and me program. I can't think of another mommy and me program that I would enjoy more! You will spend your class time with your child in the warm waters having fun, playing games, and singing songs...all while learning swim techniques. To this day, my 17 yo is still such a relaxed swimmer and loves the water - as does my 8 yo. My 4 yo refused to even put his face in the water last year. Within a few classes, he progressed to putting his whole head under and LOVING IT! Within a few months, he was diving to the bottom of the shallow end to pick up a ring on the bottom of the pool. I can't tell you how many horror stories I hear from mothers who go elsewhere and their children become terrified of the water due to the forceful teaching techniques. I feel truly blessed to get to bring my children here. Lifestyle Swim School is THE swim school if you want your child(ten) to love swimming for LIFE!

They have a wide range of…read moredifficulties, ranging from the tough (Body Combat) to ones geared for seniors such as chair yoga. I prefer the middle range with classes like Pilates and barre. I do wish they would mix up the class times once in a while because I've been going for about two years and schedule hasn't changed much so I end up doing the same classes each week. The instructor Jennifer is great. I love that she does different things each week so I don't get bored with it. The place is clean, large, good staff, nice pool. I like the E gym so you don't have to adjust weights as it remembers when you scan your bracelet. They have a lot of community/family based events.

    1 Star -- Extremely Disappointed After 6 Years as YMCA Members…read more Unfortunately, after what happened today, we decided to cancel our YMCA membership and our children's swimming lessons. We have been YMCA members for six years. We have used this facility regularly, our children have taken swimming lessons here, and we have invested a lot of time and money into this membership. That is why today's experience was especially disappointing. I have already left a negative review about this YMCA, but today's situation honestly went beyond what I consider acceptable. This morning, I came to the YMCA for my workout. Around 11:00 AM, as I was leaving, I noticed an older woman in a white car trying to park next to my vehicle. There was no actual parking space available, and she was trying to squeeze into the area between the designated parking spaces. I didn't pay much attention at the time because I was in a hurry to pick up my daughter from daycare. After picking up my children, I returned to my car and discovered significant scratches on the plastic part of my vehicle. The damage was large enough that the paint had been completely scraped off. I immediately went back to the YMCA, hoping they could check their security cameras and possibly help identify the person responsible. Instead, I was told that they could not review the cameras themselves and that I needed to call the police. I was told that they would review the footage only if the police requested it. We called the police. An officer came and documented the incident. However, he did not even go inside the YMCA to review or request the camera footage. He simply explained that cameras of this type are often not clear enough to identify a license plate or a person's face. What I found especially frustrating is that there seemed to be no attempt to look for another way to identify the person. Even if the video quality was not good enough to clearly see the license plate or face, I suggested checking the approximate time of the incident and comparing it with the YMCA's membership check-in records. Members scan their membership when entering the facility. I had seen exactly where the woman went after parking, so it seemed reasonable to at least check whether someone matching the description entered the building around that time. Instead, I felt completely left on my own. I understand that the YMCA cannot be responsible for every incident that happens in its parking lot. I am not expecting the YMCA to pay for my car or to magically identify the driver. But after six years as a member, I expected basic cooperation, communication, and a genuine effort to help when something like this happened on YMCA property. The damage to my car was upsetting, but the lack of assistance and the way the situation was handled was even more disappointing. After six years, this was the final straw for us. We canceled our membership today and also canceled our children's swimming lessons. Very disappointed that after being loyal members for six years, this is how our relationship with the YMCA ends.
