The majority of coaches we have encountered during swim class and private swim class have been friendly, knowledgeable, and good teachers. Some lack friendliness, training ability. I realize most are young, but the more experienced coaches should be monitoring and evaluating to help them become better coaches.
It would be great to have some aquatic class opportunities between 10:30-4 available for people who want aqua zoom or aquatic classes.
My kids did swim lessons this summer. The coaches are patient and kind, and they keep the classes fun and exciting! I recommend that every coach give parents updates on their children's progress. The coach responsible for my children's class never gave me an update, not even once. However, he was absent twice, and the other coaches who filled in for him gave me updates on their progress at the end of each class, and that was great.
I would definitely recommend YMCA at Potranco. The staff there are so friendly and are so willing to help customers. I had a good experience at this location and I look forward to enrolling in other programs.
All the aquatic coach's are phenomenal! My only complaint is the swim meets are extremely long and there needs to be a better process for race days. This was a common complaint among parents.
Other than that, all of the coaches are extremely encouraging and stay on track with swim education.
We had both of our kids do one on one lessons. In a matter of a few sessions, the ladies were able to build my boys' confidence and teach them the skills needed to swim.
