Powered by GoogleOur daughter Juliana has been swimming with the competitive team since she was ~6yrs old (she's now turning 13) and I'd highly recommend the team for both swim lessons and competitive swim. OCCS is an exceptional swim team, with great coaches and team comradery! My daughter spent many years working with Coach Pam and is now working with Coach Kelly and Coach Justin and her performance has improved under their guidance to now being qualified for high level meets (including Junior Champs, Junior Olympics, and travel meets to Richmond, West Virginia, and ISCA in Florida).
We have been on OCCS for 8 years, the coaches are very dedicated and made my daughters enjoy competitive swim again. The environment that OCCS provides is very friendly.
We moved from NCAP to OCCS because the OCCS practice schedule work perfectly with our kid's activities. What OCCS's preach - a safe and supportive team environment and what they actually do is totally different. They can not even meet the bare minimum goal we expect from a swim club. A waste of one year!
My son takes private swim lessons with Coach Caleb, and he absolutely loves it. My son has a disability and was traumatized from earlier lessons at the "mommy and me" lessons geared towards babies and toddlers at other locations, so we decided to enroll him in a swim school that focused on different values and competition. From our first phone call, the coaches and managers we spoke to were extremely polite, professional, and genuinely listened to our concerns. They offered us a trial class, which my son loved. We decided to enroll him in private lessons with Coach Caleb, who has worked miracles with our son. My son trusts him and has completed swim tasks that he never did before. My son has been working with Coach Caleb for a little over a month now, and we have already noticed a significant improvement in my son's water skills. At the previous location, we saw little to no changes in over 3 months, but we noticed a change within 2 weeks. The coaches rely on trust, accommodation, and individualize their lessons for each learner. We are so happy to have found this place and plan to continue as long as my son allows!
My 2 younger daughters (age 4 & 5) had their very first swimming class today. I just can't believe how much better this experience was than the one we did for our older daughter when she was young & we lived in Fairfax. The girls absolutely loved it! Every one from the manager to the instructor was awesome! With my older daughter, there were so many kids in her classes in Fairfax that she just stood on the wall most of the time. In contrast, my younger 2 girls today at Central Park Aquatic Center were working on their swimming the entire time with a small class. I just can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner. I got here by word of mouth of other moms in my subdivision who kept saying overwhelmingly that this was the best swim facility in our area for your kids to learn to swim. And they were right!
