I love the primary teacher. She is amazing you can tell she really loves kids, kind, patient and does a great job helping to keep the kids on track in a nice and fun way. I also love the front desk staff they are always incredibly helpful and kind.

Cost, weekend options (work full time and weekday classes are a challenge for our family). 3 week option for swim classes is great.

Swimming Teacher was excellent. She overviewed safety, did a great job cuing and demonstrating skills for the kids. Was playful and encouraging with children in class. She did a great job.

Facilities (family restroom/locker room) was so clean and I so appreciate the facilities being set up so I could take care of my 4 year old son in a gender inclusive space.

I enjoy the group exercises and H20 aerobics classes! The schedules give me time for a good workout and get the rest of my day in. The Northside location is very convenient to where I live.
I enjoy having fun with people my age.

We’ve only had two swimming lessons for our daughter, she isn’t the biggest fan of the water. Her instructor is so patient with her (and us). It means the world to us that she feels supported as she becomes comfortable in the water.

We love that the instructors met my daughter at her beginner level of swimming lessons. Everyone was patient and took very good care of her as she felt comfortable with the instructors....needless to say, she wants to return every week for a new lesson! Thanks ladies!
