One of my kids loves swimming and is learning so quickly and takes it very seriously. My other one was scared and slower to try anything and he was met with such kindness and patience and now he is progressing at his own pace but looks forward to class.
My kids like the instructors, the pool area and the changing rooms and bathrooms are great! Programs are well designed to support the kids learning levels. The only thing I wish was different is that classes are at least 45 min. When there are 3+ kids in a class, they do not get as much time in the water as they should to progress quicker.
My kids are gaining a lifelong skill of swimming in a safe environment with a wonderful teacher. My kids have been taking lessons for about a year now, and they are each progressing at their own rates. The teacher works with each child individually at their own level, encouraging the kids, and helping them to improve each week. The class sizes are limited, so each child has lots of individual attention. The teacher can really get to know the students. Mrs. Heather teaches both of my kids now, and I'm very happy. She keeps the classes well paced, so that the kids are constantly working on their skills and having fun at the same time. I feel that my kids are in great hands with Mrs. Heather and Swimtastic!
We have had a great experience with both of our children overall. They enjoy going to swim each week. The discrepancy in quality of instruction can be difficult to navigate at times, though we understand that there is a wide range of ages and experience among the instructors. We would like our children to feel comfortable with their teacher but also receive coaching and feedback in order to strengthen their skills as swimmers. We have seen amazing coaching and subsequent growth for our kids with Ms. Sonali and Ms. Shannon, for example. We hope you are able to keep them both around while our kids continue their swimming journey!
This Academy cares and it shows. My son’s swimming abilities are not only good but safe. I’m so proud of him and the teaching methods provided from Swimtastic’s staff. Very very pleased
