Natación

Coach Sammy has been great!

The staff do a great job with the little ones. They display a strong ability to understand the age groups capabilities and apprehensions. They have commendable coping skills & patience while maintaining positivity, encouragement & enthusiasm. Great job to these ladies.

I liked the consistency of each lesson. My daughter had a lot of fun.

Excellent program and excellent coaches and staff. My kids really enjoy their classess, learn a lot and very great swimmers because of these programs.

The swim instructor is very supportive and knowledgeable

The coaches has patience they ate very nice

The newly renovated facility.

Nice facility with helpful and friendly staff.

The instructor is amazing!

The coaches are friendly and supportive. It's a group class but they manage to pay individual attention to everyone. I like that they work with everyone based on their skill level and fears. I feel more confident in water after just 2 lessons because the coaches seem to focus on good techniques. I especially like that the coach shows you how to do something by getting in the water, not by instructing from outside the pool. The lessons combine survival techniques and strokes, and coach Sarah ensures that swimming is a fun activity. I would highly recommend swimming lessons at The Y to anyone interested.

Teachers we extremely friendly, very attentive and provided some fundamentals while also creating a fun learning space! Also clean facilities with great accommodations for sitting and changing rooms!

We are very happy, because the teachers are putting a lot of effort into helping the children learn to swim. I don't know the name of my son's teacher, Michael. She is a thin girl with glasses. She is fabulous, she does her best and gives my son a lot of confidence.

Instructor was helpful and the lesson plan was thought out. Great activity for families

Multiple time offerings, including many weekday options. The instructors are so gentle and patient with the kids, it's wonderful to watch. Thank you!

The instructors are great, and my kids are engaged and excited to be there!

Very good

Miss McKenzie and Mr. Logan are wonderful! Our daughter was nervous in the beginning, but they have done such an amazing job making her feel comfortable. She loves getting her lessons, and she's so much more comfortable in the water after just two lessons.

Well organized

I'm very impressed and pleased with our experience with the aquatics program at the Tuckahoe YMCA. My daughter is 3.5 years old and taking her first formal swim lessons. The swimmer to instructor ratio is so small; I love the individualized attention. I can tell the instructors are trained well and so patient with the little swimmers. I look forward to registering for more classes in the future.

Small groups for lessons and my boys have a lot of fun while learning to swim.

Love the swim lesson program! Coach Sara is wonderful and so very patient with the preschool age group. My son just turned 3 and joined the preschool swim lessons group. He has very little impulse control but we're working on it and Sara is always so patient and awesome with him while also reinforcing that he needs to wait his turn and be safe in and out of the pool.

Coach Luda who does the preschool gymnastics program also deserves recognition as she too has so much patient with this age group. She also works with my son to not only learn gymnastics but also learn the importance of being in control of himself and waiting his turn.

Coach Ryan who does ninja warrior is so much fun and has a blast with the kids! His patience with this age group is also so appreciated by myself and I'm sure many other parents.

Thank you all for helping kids learn and grow in a safe, welcoming environment! So grateful for the learning opportunities these teachers and programs provide to my kids.

Exactly what we were hoping for!

Best swimming instruction around!

Very Friendly. Very supportive. Constantly evaluating and flexible to Promote or demote Swim Category and listen to Parents feedback and take action accordingly.

For this first class, I really liked the Involvement of the Coach, I appreciate the two support people, because they allow the children to really participate and practice the sport in order to learn.
Thank you so much!

The instructors are very engaged to teaching the kids. They listen to parents concerns and want the kids to learn and have fun as well.

We love Coach Grace! My 6 year old is extremely shy and wouldn't get in the water for the male coach. She took right to Coach Grace and she has been a wonderful swim instructor! Both my 6 and 7 year olds in her class are getting better and perfecting their skills and feeling more comfortable with the water.

I love how I feel there with my little one she love to be on a kids room.. I love how welcome I feel ♥️

Our 3.5 year old can be nervous in new spaces so we weren't sure how he'd approach swim lessons. The small student to instructor ratio and engaging activities were great. Both our son and I left feeling more confident around the water after our first lesson.
