We went for our first swim class for my littles. The facility, although still work in progress, is…read morequite nice. You have a wonderful viewing area both inside and outside the pool area. The lockers are communal but huge. The coaches and staff are very invested in your satisfaction and showed a lot of care to the littles. I do not like the communal showers but unfortunately the facility prefers rinses over full showers after class, which is unusual. Looking forward to seeing how the classes develop further.

I have been a student and instructor for Janet Barber Aquatics for many years. As a student, it was…read morea very positive, fun and friendly environment. Having much smaller class sizes compared to the town or YMCA classes, I was able to get more attention and develop faster. The quality, experience and energy of the instructors I had and continue to see are outstanding. As an instructor, having a smaller class allowed me to focus on my students progress a lot more then my experience with the YMCA. I was able to create a great connection with the student(s) and interact with the parent(s) to keep them up to date on their child's progress. The way Janet Barber Aquatics has designed the progress reports is brilliant through the use of star ratings. Instead of telling a child at the end of the term that they didn't pass (which can be de motivating for some) they are given a certain colour of star. The star indicates how many requirements they have completed in that level so far. This is also extremely beneficial for the next instructor as they will be able to target the areas the student needs improvement on. I highly recommend Janet Barber Aquatics!

My wife and I have two kids who have taken classes with Janet Barber Aquatics and we have seen…read morereally fantastic results. The one-on-one instruction gives kids the confidence to learn how to swim. We have especially seen great results with our son, who was initially apprehensive about swimming with his face in the water, jumping in, etc. The focused attention and care of his instructors gave him the confidence and skills to learn how to swim and do all of these things, and now there is nothing holding him back in the water. It has been very heartwarming to see such significant results. We would highly recommend Janet and her team!

Why? 1) They NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER EVER answer the phone!!!! Why even have a phone number? Good luck with getting answers or customer service is you have questions about your account. 2) Getting a receipt for (EXPENSIVE) private lessons is a extremely PAINFUL EXPERIENCE!! Why? Because, even after witnessing the inconvenience that parents experience, nothing has been done to improve upon this major shortfall. They clearly don't really give a CRAP about parents of, or clients who are, special needs.

He knows his stuff- and he is supportive, challenging, and an amazing role model for balancing fitness of mind and body. If you care as much about the 'why' as you do the "what", Dan has so much to teach you without ever mansplaining. Nothing hidden at this gym- costs of different programs and training are all transparent (and very fair). It's a little badass to get to (behind an old church), but kinda feels like the kind of place Rocky would have taken Adrian to work out.
