They also have a sandbox and play area out of the water, shaded seating and a concession stand. I love their swim lessons - they do 2 week sessions with a 30 minute class each weekday. The instructors are friendly and really do a great job teaching every detail of swimming from blowing bubbles in the water to all the different swim strokes.

My teen and pre-teen give this pool 2 out of 5 stars. As a parent, I think it's a great place for…read moreyounger children. Their complaints: 1. No goggles allowed on slides or diving board. 2. Pools are dirty. They saw food floating on the bottom. 3. The water's not deep enough for "anything fun" unless you go to the diving board pool, but then you can only jump in and have to swim out right away. 4. You're not allowed to use the lap lanes for swimming laps unless you're 18 or older. As strong swimmers with competitive swimming experience, they thought this was ridiculous. 5. Slides weren't exciting enough. Again, for younger kids, probably 10 and under, this is probably a great pool. But for older kids, it's boring.

Let's first start off I'm happy with the outcome of how comfortable my son is after this spring…read morecourse in and under water. Now let's get into why I rated only 2 stars, the instructor well the one my son had been assigned to talked more than actually teaching and making my son engage in the water and missed too much session with my son so I felt by missing too much session with my son how would that instructor knows how my son has improved and where in what area he can improve on. So then I had them switched to a new instructor. Lessons are too short only 30 each time and with each time it's literally only like 5-10 min because there were also others in the same lane as him too so less interactions. Added to that, each week gone by were the same routine until the last 2 session they just added 1 new thing which is safety. So you are basically paying for the same movement each week they go in for lesson. Although all staffs were friendly it needs to be a bit more organized.

We've been coming here for swim lessons for the past few months. Due to COVID restrictions, they've…read morebeen offering private lessons at a discounted price. It's not cheap but our son has learned a lot and really likes his teacher. I wish there were lockers in the locker room so we didn't have to haul everything onto the pool deck or leave it unlocked in a cubby. Everything is new and they follow COVID guidelines closely.

This, I think, is the some of the VERY best money we have spent on any of our children. Alyssa is…read morea true professional and the peace of mind she has given me is priceless. I cannot believe the transformation in my child. She went from having a pretty intense fear of water to being a total fish-loving to swim independently! As soon as it is a bit warmer, I can't wait to get her back in the water with Alyssa! We LOVE ISR!

I can't say enough about what Alyssa has done for our family. While other swimming lessons taught…read moremy sons to splash and kick on command, ISR has taught my children to swim, quickly, eyes open, fully underwater, and to float completely unassisted while wearing heavy winter clothing. Serious, life saving skills. I was hesitant at first to sign up for 3 reasons: time commitment, expense, and more than anything else, fear that my kids would freak out and develop a fear of water. As for time commitment - you get used to the routine of coming daily very quickly and it becomes a fun activity that is just a part of your day. As for expense, first, it is an investment in your child's safety. Second, given the training and serious time investment Alyssa puts forward with each student, you get more than your money's worth. And as for fear: the opposite came true. My boys are so PROUD of what they have accomplished (because it's hard work!), and are more excited than ever to be in the water. I would not hesitate to recommend ISR lessons with Alyssa to anyone and everyone.

He is now 4 and has amazing confidence in the water, knows how to get to the edge or roll to float and can get about 10 feet across the water alone. Our younger one we started at 5 months and she is not yet 2 but swimming with a teacher and 2 other students. She also has learned to roll to float and put her hands out to get to the step. We have been very impressed with their flexibility in scheduling, their nurturing encouragement to make all kids feel comfortable in the water and the overall confidence and love our kids have learned to have for swimming thanks to the staff at Swimwest Fitchburg! Pros: The pool and area inside the pool are warm, the space is clean and the pool water does not hurt the kids eyes (just the right amount of chemicals), the teachers or deck person checks in with you about your child's progress, and the staff is friendly and fun - you can tell they enjoy their jobs! Cons: The weekends and evenings can be crowded but your child still gets the attention he or she needs in the water and classes can fill up quickly. *We love the Fitchburg location due to size and smaller community feel*

Almost all the staff I've dealt with at the pool is pretty nice. Katie, the manager, is especially friendly. However, Mary, the administrative assistant, is judgmental and patronizing. I don't think she likes her job. Unfortunately, she is the one who prints visit summaries. So if you need your visit summary, you'll have to be subject to her unpleasant attitude.
