Even though they're very professional the teacher or instructor is Awesome with my son and clearly…read moreshe is the best at what she's doing...the only thing bothers me is that I'm paying for 30 minutes and if you have to share it with another student it's really not worth it. Doing it with a partner it take time to learn the basics and that's very sad because you want them to learn their best. Thats what you paying. hopefully they can have a teacher for each child even though there partnes.. Because really? havin like 15 minutes of teaching.. The teacher or instructor she's amazing with the kid's my son love's her already...and my son is 2..I definitely do it again but I will hope it can have more instructors ..

She responds very quickly through texts and is excellent about notifying scheduling/location changes. We've had three instructors so far. Lisa has designed a program that every instructor follows--which is great for kids since they know what's coming next. Our current instructor is Nina and she is all kinds of wonderful. My toddler was having a very hard time with being in the water without her mom. Nina was kind, very loving and patient with a screaming child. We're 4 lessons in and now my younger daughter happily walks to her teacher. Nina adjusted her lesson to accommodate my children's needs. Overall we couldn't be happier and highly recommend you start your swim lessons here!

I love love love this swim school for many reasons. I have taken my daughter here for about 3…read moreyears. The only reason we are leaving is because we moved about a year ago and the commute is just not making sense for us anymore. I will try and be as detailed as possible (usually not my thing). I tried other places, especially right after we moved, but I kept coming back. Reason 1.) the coaches are so amazing and caring. We had coach Tina First, then coach Steven, and then back to coach Tina. Both are just amazing. I started my daughter at just under 3 years old, and she really progressed with her swimming. She has no fear of the water, and she has a great foundation. She can float, breathe, backstroke, swim under water, and is working on her freestyle. Reason 2.) I took her to another popular swim venue, and they dropped her in the water with a bunch of kids and said "swim" to test her level. She's shy. She acted like she didn't know how to do anything and they put her in beginner 1 lol. So, back to Saint Street. I love the individualized attention, even in the group lesson setting. They always know your child by name and know what your kid is capable of. Reason 3.) Parental Comfort. Haha! This is an important one for me because I had a second baby while my first was in swim lessons. Another swim place I shopped wanted me to stand outside (in the hot sun) with my baby stroller (and my crying baby) 3 feet from the pool just in case something happened to my swimming child. No. Get a lifeguard. I went right back to Saint Street Swim to my air conditioned observation deck. If you want to be right there with your swimming child you certainly have that option, especially when they roll up the glass doors. It's a very pleasant atmosphere. I enjoyed our years at Saint Street and hope to find something tolerable (if not comparable) on my side of town.

Several things: 1. Progress reports are only shared every 4…read moremonths so you have no idea where your child is or what they need to work on. 2. Automatic billing in a month in advance so you cannot do anything if you are displeased. 3. Do not miss a class... ever, Saint Street will not allow you make it up, move your schedule or get a refund. 4. There are no clear goals or timeline to move on. It's their discretion so you just keep showing up, paying and hoping. 5. Three kids to an instructor so your kid actually only gets about 8 minutes of instruction and then the rest is them sitting on the side. 6. My truck was broken into in their parking lot and all I got was a "sorry"

They got a 30-minute lesson per week and I didn't see any of it since the school brings them there and takes them back. However, my daughter did like it so I kept them in mind and she was comfortable in the water, which is great. She's now 7 and I enrolled her and her 3 year old brother over the summer in the same class. Now, because I take them, I get to see it all first hand. First off, the staff are all helpful and attentive. No problems on that end. There's an annual membership fee plus $120 per month per person, though they do offer a free trial class before you make it official. The cost includes one 30-minute GROUP class (2-3 people) per week and if you want more swimming days, it's another $120 per day each week. I was going to shop around but my daughter liked Wolfies so we stuck with them. You drop them off about 5 minutes before their time slot and the teachers wind down about 3 minutes before the end of the time slot. Because of that, I wouldn't say it's exactly a full 30 minutes you get, but it's close. They do talk to you about your child(ren's) progress or any notes when you pick them up, which is nice. You make an account on their website and it's easy to mark an absence and schedule a make up. You can mark the absence up until the minute before your class begins so that's great. My only complaints: - Because my daughter started in the summer and we had the bad luck to choose a time slot with an instructor who would be leaving 2 weeks later, there were a number of weeks where their instructors kept on changing, especially when school started and one that seemed settled changed because of class conflict. That really set her back from getting promoted to the next level. - Within our 4 months at Wolfies, we've had 3-ish classes that were cancelled on their end due to accidents (vomiting/defecating) in the pool. In fact, 1 of those times, I was en route and the second, we were already there. You do get an automatic make up credit but it can be difficult depending on other commitments. I have both of my kids in the same time slot so I have to hunt for make up classes with 2 openings. - You'll need more than just 1 class per week to see results unless you've got easy access to a pool to practice in. They do offer special classes (every day during certain times of the year, private, and holiday camps) and I highly recommend those if you want to get your child that edge and have the financial means. I saw a marked improvement with my daughter after she participated in summer camp (albeit 3/5 days because she got sick the SUNDAY before - no credit/refund without a doctor's note, by the way) 2 months into classes. Her instructors (2 different ones) for the 2 classes after said she was ready to test to the next level, but then some cancelled classes and instructor changes later, she's now "almost there but not quite ready yet" which honestly irritates me a bit. Progress will feel stagnant eventually from when I've spoken to other parents unless you get in extra time. - Only the front office and upstairs room where parents can sit and wait/watch are air conditioned (but it's not very consistent). The pool, changing rooms and bathrooms are NOT and I am dripping with sweat after I help my kids out of their bathing suits and into their regular clothes. I don't mind too much about the pool area but those changing and restrooms are stifling with full on humidity and heat. The pool has these garage type doors that are opened and... I really hate summer. Hah. Pool area has some air flow so not as bad but not so much for those enclosed changing rooms.. - Thirty minutes isn't that long, especially if your class has the full 3 people in it. That's roughly 10 minutes per student and even less if one of them is upset. Instructors do try their best to give each student an equal amount of attention though. It's been 4 months and my eldest is still Level 2. To think she could have gotten promoted 2 months ago! They do the same thing in every class for that level so the content is predictable. We'll stay here until the year is up and go from there and I really hope she'll get promoted by then if not sooner. The good thing is my kids do seem to like it and the instructors try to make it fun and comfortable for those on the fence.

Three weeks ago we approached the front desk to seek help in identifying a class as one of my sons was moved up to the next level. The girl (this one likely in her 20's) was sitting on the counter, playing on her phone, and it wasn't until my husband asked "could we get some help please" that she finally got off of her phone. Today, my son's mini class was being taught by two 'coaches' during one of the exercises, they turned their backs to the parents and kids and chit-chatted. Once again, my husband piped up and said, "is this all we are going to do today?" , they resumed their conversation before engaging back with the class. Needless to say, this behavior is incredibly dangerous when it comes to kids in the water and it is completely disrespectful to parents who are paying good money to get 'lessons'. It got to the point that my husband took my child out of the pool mid-lesson with no acknowledgment from the coaches. Given the behavior demonstrated over these past few weeks, we will be moving to another establishment for lessons. It is a shame that because of their 30-day cancellation policy, that we are having to pay another month's worth of classes that we will not be using based on the reckless, dangerous, and disrespectful service our family has been subjected to to. Please, please, please do your homework before signing your little one up for classes.

I would panic as soon as I would even lay back and therefore would sink . I didn't know any proper swim strokes or how to tread water . On my first lesson I had Greta made me very comfortable . She very thoroughly walked me through step by step on how to float . I learned how to float on my first lesson . Which for years I have never been successful at . For reference I am 21 years old . After my time with Greta I am now able to Float effortlessly , Tread Water, swim freestyle , breast stroke and backstroke . I am very grateful to Greta for she has given me skills I have wanted/needed for a very long time . I am definitely going to put my new skills to practice for my upcoming snorkeling trip . Which was my initial reasoning for signing up for lessons . However there are so many benefits that have come alongside of learning how to swim . Greta is a wonderful teacher and I definitely recommend her as your swimming instructor. If you're wanting to learn how to swim then Greta has got you covered !!!
