While we had a good experience at Goldfish, this is definitely a slow & steady wins the race type…read moreof teaching. We did Goldfish for nearly 4 years from the time my son was 18 months old to 5.5 years old. We nearly got up to a quirky dog paddle that my son could do before we were unenrolled due to my nonpayment (mom brain during Spring break, whoops.) Two of my son's swim teachers we got to know and love (Emily & Juquan) were incredible and I think really set the foundation for my son to try to connect the dots with swimming. While I think this is an excellent opportunity for brand new swimmers, I'm a tiny bit hesitant to recommend long term because it just took so long for my son to get where he's at today. We don't have a personal pool, only a community pool that's open during the summer. So maybe that's on me? Great staff, clean facilities, reasonable pricing for what you get but the learning model needs to revisited to get swimmers swimming faster.

We tried this place but in 8 classes my kid can't swim, he was basically taught to float, which…read morebeing a boy with no body fat is impossible. If you look at the curriculum,it would take over 10 classes which would amount to over $2500. I suggest the YMCA which has a 13 week course and your child will be able to swim safely by the end. I would not recommend this place at all.

Nice free community center if you are looking for a pool to practice swimming or to do a workout…read more Two people allowed per swim lane, and afternoons get busy (with kids swim classes and adults free swim in the lanes). I'd recommend getting here early afternoon before the post-work rush. Easy sign in and sign up process - just scan the QR code at the front desk to sign up, enter in address, etc. Then sign in on the paper in the binder for access to either the swimming pool or the fitness center.

They have mini golfing where you can rent equipment inside the facility. They have a great playground area and outdoor fitness equipment. Inside the facility, they have a free pool and gym area. They offer a variety of classes such as yoga, water aerobics, etc. Make sure to check out their website or pick up their schedule at the facility for hours of operation. For first timers, you will have to fill out a form and don't forget to bring a large sized towel for workouts! There's a really great large dog park next door but there's no entrance to the dog park from Mary Jo Peckham. You would have to park at the Katy Library to enter the dog park. Thank you Mary Jo Peckham Park for your services to the Katy community!

Her swim coach is Coach Arianana and she's an amazing coach. She's very attentive and is so sweet. I'm sure they're all Great their but since she's my daughters coach I'm very very pleased with the way she's teaching. I have referred a friend here also ans hopefully he'll start soon. I highly recommend swim Jim if u want your child to have any swim lessons. Again. I am very very happy and have definitely made the right choice. Thank You everyone at swim Jim esp Coach Ariannna Isabella Mom.

The people who do the scheduling, and the supposed manager do not know how classes are run. They continued to schedule my son in a different group. They do not notify you of canceled classes.

I asked them couple of years ago for help in fees because my daughter was so eager to join and we were struggling with money. The Coaches thought that I am making up and don't want to pay. They were trying to make excuses which was really disturbing. They should have said upfront no which is more better than avoiding. Every organization has their rules and regulations and we all are here to make money or profit, so lets keep Ethics and Humanity a side because we won't survive if we start helping everybody. I don't know how many people go and ask them for reduction but they should really consider such kind of things. The real reputation is not by sending team mates to Olympics but _____________________________________________________________________. Thank You

She is very nervous around new people but was comfortable being in the pool as there was constant stimulation and play.

Definitely give them a shot if you're looking for a swim school!

Each week she had a different instructor so it was hard for her to get comfortable with her instructor.They told us the same thing each week but no one tried different ways to teach her nor did they pull her to re-access her. After awhile it was clear that our daughter was getting bored. We paid for the entire year but ended up withdrawing her and forfeiting the rest of our money.

The one thing this place has locked down is ORGANIZATION. The place is huge and has a lot of…read moreswimmers. Although it looks chaotic, they have a great system to keep things under control. The front desk has two people working, so even if one is on the phone, you are greeted by another member. Everyone I have encountered have been so friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. Once you are signed up, they give your child a color specific wrist band, so the instructors and staff members know where to direct them. All the instructors have customized shirts with names on the back, which is super helpful to me because I can't remember faces as quickly. They don't make it a point where they speak with you after every swim lesson to give feedback on your child. However, towards the end of the week session or however long you signed up for, you are allowed to go to the other side of the pool and watch your child and then you can ask and/or discuss whatever you want. When I signed my son up, he was in for an "intense" weeklong session where he went every day for 2 weeks for 30 minutes a day. He started off as a "guppy". He did the session with 2-3 other kids, so technically I was paying for only 10 minutes of swim time. However, it was still worth it because he was young, and I think seeing other kids swim helps comfort him and gave him confidence. He cried on the first day, BUT his instructor, Miss Mary Lou was super sweet and was able to calm him down. At the end of the session, he was all smiles and couldn't wait to come back. When I signed up, my son got a shirt and a booklet. That booklet is super cute and helpful! It's a fun comic for the kid, but it also tells me what to expect because they basically explained everything in there. I'm telling you, their organization is great. They thought of everything! After the guppy session, he was advanced to the next level: goldfish. We transitioned to him swimming 1 day a week with other kids again. However, when private lessons popped up, we switched. I highly recommend private 1 on 1 sessions because you get the whole 30 minutes. The instructors do teach the entire 30 minutes and never stop a minute early, which is nice. You can rest assure you're paying for the entire time. I like the private sessions because I feel like my son was able to learn more. Mr. Luke was his private instructor, and he was awesome. He pushed him, which I appreciated. Of course, when my son showed signs of fatigue or was overwhelmed, I saw Mr. Luke adjusted his methods a bit, but he didn't "baby" him. The place has lots of changing rooms and a huge shower room for the kids. There is also lots of places for parents to sit and watch their child. Although a lot of people come and go, it doesn't feel overly crowded or claustrophobic. When your child passes the float test, they have a super cute tradition where the child gets to place their handprint anywhere on the wall and write their name. It just makes the child's experience more special and memorable. Overall, I highly recommend this place! This was a great place for my son to start off learning how to swim.
