Powered by GoogleMy son and daughter look forward to their swim lessons at the YMCA every Saturday. They have both been afraid to even get their faces wet and now my daughter is jumping in the pool on her own. The instructors are very kind and patient, even when my son gets scared. They help him remain calm and assure him that he is safe. We are thankful to the swim instructors and the Y for offering this program!
My two children are thriving in their swim lessons at the downtown location. Heatherly does such a wonderful job organizing and teaching. The entire team of instructors are fun, engaging, respectful and caring.
My kids have been attending the preschool swim classes for almost a year at this location and we have loved all of the teachers they have had so far! After having negative experiences at other facilities, we were skeptical about starting up but Heatherly has been excellent with communication and we are so grateful for all of the staff there! My kids have really thrived here and have been processing consistently.
We absolutely love Coach Kay for swim lessons! Our daughter has been going since October and has improved so much under her guidance.
The Y is an awesome place for my kids to enjoy their swim lessons! My first born took classes here and it was such a fun thing to look forward to every Saturday! Now that my second born is old enough we go and she enjoys it so much! We were only going for roughly a month and she moved up in classes already! I’m excited for her to feel confident while in pools and the beach now!
