Foss Swim School is a year-round swim-lesson franchise with 11 Minnesota locations; its Chanhassen school offers group and private swimming lessons for infants through older children, plus condensed 2-week and 4-week summer swim 'camps' that repackage the same lesson curriculum. It is a swim-lesson business rather than a traditional day camp.

Powered by GoogleMy son and daughter both love Foss. All instructors are so good in teaching and are caring for the kiddos. And both my kids are progressing good in their classes.
I am writing to formally express my frustration and disappointment with how our concerns regarding our child’s swim lessons have been handled. We were previously assured that a refund would be issued for Lulu’s lessons, yet that commitment has not been honored. Instead of resolving the issue, the response shifted toward complaints about her participation, which is not an acceptable substitute for addressing the core problem. Our concern is straightforward: Lulu has only attended three sessions, and the services provided have not met the standards your organization promotes. Additionally, despite multiple requests, no reasonable or accessible makeup sessions; particularly on weekends have been offered. This lack of accommodation, combined with inconsistent communication, has left us feeling disregarded as customers. If your facility does not currently have adequate staffing to provide the quality instruction and scheduling flexibility that was promised, that should be clearly communicated and appropriately resolved not passed on as a burden to families.
Eli is fantastic! Our daughter has grown and developed so many new skills under his instruction. He is very patient with younger children and really does an amazing job of talking to the children the way they will best learn and understand.
Both of our kids have been going to Foss Chanhassen for more than a few years now and we love it. The teachers are amazing, especially Eli and Reagan. I really like their new system of being able to book a make up class just in case our kids missed one which used to happen quite a bit. Overall highly recommended and very professional and clean as well.
First time customer, 5 year old swimmer. Excellent first quarter of instruction. The facility is excellent and very clean/well maintained with ample changing rooms, showers, bathrooms etc. The pool is clean and warm and very well laid out for the lessons provided. Teachers are well trained, very good with kids, and provide a fun and well paced instruction where you can literally see the progress each week. Communication is great, too and the entire staff is friendly and helpful. We've signed up for the next session already. Bonus: if you are currently in a paid lesson plan, there are usually multiple open swim sessions you can sign up for - for free!
