We LOVE the actual instruction and what you're teaching my kids in the pool and I've always been a huge fan of UMLY, since my time there as a kid.
However, I find it challenging that the schedule moves around from session to session and you can't sign up/reserve a space for a longer period of time. I've missed out on some continuity because I haven't remembered to sign up early enough and the next session fills up. Personally I think the current class should receive priority placement or pre-registration. I also find the online system incredibly hard to navigate. There should be a reminder of what current level you're in, and what you're looking for. For instance I just signed my daughter up for stage 3 lessons by accident when she should have been in stage 4, but stage 3 is now at the same time and day of week as her old stage 4 class, but I didn't catch it! The whole process could be much easier!!!
The instructors are very good and patient with my daughter with swim lessons. She is making slow and steady process getting better at swimming and being comfortable in the water. I wish the registration was better - online registration is often closed before I get the letter telling me what swim class my daughter can take next.
I am finally returning to regular exercise after a couple surgeries in 2023. During the winter, I participated in spin classes and indoor pickleball. Now I am doing outdoor cycling on my own but have started outdoor pickleball at UMLY.
I love the vibe of UMLY. The staff is always helpful and friendly. It sets up an warm atmosphere for the people participating in activities. Though I am still learning a lot about the game of pickleball, the other players are helpful and supportive.
Ms. Samantha's Preschool Musical Theater class is wonderful. She is an excellent teacher. Mr. Bill's swim class is equally wonderful and we love Rising Stars Basketball!
