Member Testimonials
Class sizes are small and everyone gets individualized support. My kids enjoy the classes and have learned so much!
Good facility, great teacher, makes the kids feel comfortable and have fun while learning how to swim.
The tennis coaches were absolutely wonderful with my daughter Dolly. I appreciate how gentle and kind they are and how they helped her focus and develop her skills. Thank you!
My son was instantly comfortable. The personal lessons were a perfect choice for him.
We love the wide range of activities
Ms. Tracey, Ms. Kim, and Mr. Pius, are amazing! Our daughter has learned so much in such a short period of time. I am so happy that we enrolled her in the Time for Twos class!
We love the overall environment, including the diversity of the staff and families. The staff is very welcoming and helpful and always a smile from the instructors and the front desk staff. The instructors are patient and kind - we’ve done swimming, gym jammers, gymnastics and basketball. A special shout out to Faery, Darnell and Pius who my son has interacted with for the past two years. We know that continuity doesn’t always happen so we are grateful for such wonderful instructors who clearly enjoy working with children.
The lessons were well organized, the swim instructors were patient and kind with our son, and the pool area was well-staffed with life guards who responded quickly if a child accidentally fell in the water.
The best swimming lessons
Love it
The staff and instructors are very nice, knowledgeable, and patient with the children who enters the center.
Everyone is professional & very knowledgeable. All the instructors are kind and very patient.
Carolina is my son's favorite instructor, she takes her time to build trust with the students and helps them feel confident to push further in their new skill of swimming. The pool area and bathrooms are very clean. My only complaint would be the showers, the water temperature is too cold in showers. My son complains all the time. That should be improved. Besides that, my experience at the Geyer YMCA is amazing, starting from the greeter at the front desk.
The instructor, Claire, was lovely. My wife and our baby, Sylvia, all love her classes and the attention she gives every child.
It’s affordable
We love it there! Always a good class
The instructors are very good with the kids.
The overall experience was great, just wish you would extend the membership... Taking a swimming class in the fall & winter isn't ideal. Therefore I will have to rejoin( membership) in the spring & pay as if I'm new membership.
The teachers are very invested in the children. All the staff know my son’s name when we walk around. Everyone is kind, caring and effective in taking the best care of the kids. The center is a warm, engaging environment for my son and I trust he will have a great experience every time I drop him off!
All the adults working there know my son's name and are happy to see him. The ELC also is very friendly to parents, staying open on most school holidays and with very flexible hours.
Some teachers have 20+ years of experience. Low turnover means happy teachers and happy classrooms.
The program is clearly very engaging. While I'm certain my daughter would have language acquisition on her own, it's clear that she is accelerating her language development, is acquiring necessary social skills, and all around is having fun. She is also very positive about her teachers. I feel confident that she will be well positioned to start public school at the end of this program.
Conversely, I am not well acquainted with the junior staff, who seem to rotate more frequently (goes with the territory) and to whom we are not directly introduced. (Even pictures on an email with a brief bio would be helpful.)
My daughter has learned so much in the past two months! She also is very cared for by her teachers. I appreciate the attention that the center provides to ease a toddler (and mom’s) transition to full-time care.
Loving Claire and Justin this session
It was very nice to see my son learn a team sport. The coaches were so gentle and sweet to the toddlers.
The instructors are so patient and fun, the class is at a great speed and everyone feels very supportive. Love coming here with my little one
Instructors are great. Pool and locker room are clean and well maintained. Class size was small and activity was geared towards toddlers.
Great service
Ella has been great! Got our daughter to swim so well in such a short amount of time. Confident to go underwater and attempt freestyle and she's not even 6 yet!
It’s great!
Claire has been phenomenal with all the kids. The lessons have been well structured, so I see my daughter (2 1/2 y.o.) progressing every single week. And these are simply truly vital skills to learn.
