We love swimming in the Parent Tot class! It’s been a great experience for our child. He’s blossomed in the pool.
We are ready to see how kids move up to the next levels. But overall happy with the staff and services!
Granddaughters first time- she was scared and crying- manager came in and sat with her and did a great job calming her down with another instructor stepping in - taking it slow - both did an awesome job calming her down and getting her to try blowing bubbles and kicking- we were so grateful-they did an awesome job!!
Everyone was super friendly and explained the process of swim lessons very well. They will also let you have a free trial to make sure it's a good fit. I would highly recommend Swimtastic Swim School!
Very kind group of teachers and staff. They have a great area to be able and sit to watch as your kid is being taught. Plenty of areas to change after your kid is done. We are excited to be able to continue our lessons!
Lauren and the rest of the staff has been amazing helping transition from the parent and tot class. Garrison really seems to enjoy the lessons and it’s great to see him smile so much!
My daughters love their weekly swims at Swimstastic, they love the variety of instructors that they’ve had and have gained skills much quicker than I imagined in our 8-9 months of lessons.
I’ve heard other parents speak negatively about frequent instructor changes, substitutions, etc. I actually appreciate having different eyes on my children as I know different instructors see different things, they each have their own way of coaching and they each have their own tips/tricks for any challenges my children may be having, My girls actually like this too.
The one challenge here is that there can sometimes be a disconnect. My example is this: a week ago my 7 year old had a sub that she loved. This sub noticed that at times if my daughter didn’t get a good breath in her freestyle she would panic a bit. The instructors advice to her was to take a minute in sidestroke position to slow down, get her breath and then transition back to freestyle. After class the instructor shared this with me, noting that she loved what she saw in lessons that day with this tool utilized- I also noticed while watching that it helped tremendously. As a mom who’s number one concern is life-saving skills in the water I was thrilled with this instructors out-of-the box thinking and ability to give my child an option that could truly be life saving in an unforeseen situation.
Tonight, with her regular instructor, she was told that that’s not really an option. That her breath needs to be a freestyle breath and he worked to coach her through that. Now from a technique and testing standard I completely understand that there may need to be a “right” way to do things. But I do see this as a disconnect because it’s hard for the child to then know which feedback to work towards.
In the words of my 7 year old, “they need to figure this out because I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to do.” ☺️
I appreciate your willingness to collect feedback on a regular basis. As a family that owns a business that also serves children and families I am very aware of the challenges that this niche entails.
Thank you for all of your effort and work!
