We love Kathleen (SP?) our swimming teacher. She is fun, she knows how to give confidence to the kids as they try new things in the water. She has patience and is very kind. I would definitely recommend to others.
I’ve been participating in the Northwest Family swim programs for a little over a year now and it’s been a blast so far. I started in the adult beginner classes and have worked my way up to the Masters swim team. Carolyn is a great coach and is great at encouraging camaraderie between the swimmers and between other Y staff and lifeguards.
I have been participating in the Masters Swimming program for 16 years. I come back year after year because of several reasons. Carolyn Castillo is an amazing coach and mentor and I love the friendships I have established with my team mates.
The swim lessons are great for our new swimmer. The amount of drills/activities keeps it fresh and interesting and promotes learning without allowing him to get bored! Kathleen makes him feel comfortable in the water and knows how to give positive reinforcement to make him want to try more things.
I like the coaches and the facilities. We have a fun morning going to swimming lessons and then taking showers, playing foosball, and eating a snack by the coffee machines.
