Both boys are doing very well with swim.
I think when the WAVE teachers included Trevor most kids in the class did much better as he was actively involved with the students in the class. I loved when there were 3 instructors because it gave the kids immediate feedback and correction to help with their techniques. I think one instructor with 6 kids is a lot and cannot provide the necessary feedback as the instructor cannot watch that many kids skill set at once. I also think placing a newer teacher in this class as a substitute was not beneficial for any of the kids one day as she sat on the side of the pool and did not engage with the kids. I spoke to the manager on duty that day and he took care of the issue, but having seen what the class should look like and what has been happening is a bit discouraging.
Ethan is the most amazing swim instructor for Conor. He gets Conor's swim style and made recommendations for when we put him in an additional class with another instructor to help him with his endurance.
The front staff is amazing (Hannah and Mackenzie) and super helpful. They are pleasant and always enjoy talking to the boys.
Meg- you are also awesome and we cannot thank you enough for helping out with the class change to accommodate our family.
I like the small class size that allows for a lot of
Individual attention. I feel like it’s a good value for the price. The pool, waiting room and changing rooms are all clean and well kept.
Love the instructors and how they interact with the kids, especially during the parent tot class. Very patient, encouraging and my son has really been enjoying the class with Miss Callie every week!
The classes begin precisely on time so the children got all the time that was due to them in the class. The teachers were very active with the students seemingly every second of the class so no time was wasted and the kids also seem to have a good time.
Lots of class options.
I did not like that when my daughter was in beginner three which is a deep end class. It was moved to the shallow end.
Water needs to be changed out more frequently. She comes home smelling horrific. I let her bathing suit sit out & It smell like a sour diaper, I know that smell it’s not chlorine. It’s pee. Way too much pee in the pool.
The instructors here are very kind and patient with all kids. I’ve seen kids go from kicking and screaming in their parents arms to kicking and splashing with smiles in the water with the instructors! My daughter swims here and Loves going! She’s learned so much in such a short period and continues to learn more each time!
I love that my kids learn how to swim while also having fun. The relationships between coaches and kids is amazing. I’ve loved getting to cheer on the other kids in class and build that community between families. As an ex pediatric er nurse watching my kids learn the importance of water safety is key. Thank you safe splash west Warwick for the amazing community
