Member Testimonials
I liked that the instructor did not push my child when she was afraid to put her head in the water and let her work at her own pace that she was comfortable with. I know that built trust and confidence in my child and she actually enjoys working on learning to swim instead of being scared about it. The instructor was kind and caring and I appreciate that.
The instructors were patient and explained everything correctly.
My sons teachers Catherine and Nicky were amazing, they were so careful with the kids and my son came out of the experience loving being in water but knowing how to respect it
The teachers are amazing! Both my 11 yr old and my 5 yr old have learned to swim. My 11 year old learned in the first 2 weeks and my youngest was almost there. So we signed up again but moved up my other daughter. And now my 5 yr old is so comfortable in the water and can swim too!
I also love they don’t overwhelm the teachers with too many kids and the pool is always clean! They have great attitudes and are super kid friendly. Highly recommend this program for anyone wanting to learn to swim!
I love the warm friendly welcome that I receive whenever I walk in the door.
Love the YMCA , classes, staff
I love how the instructors are so patient with the children. They are all very loving, caring, and amazing!
It's been an amazing experience for my kiddo! The Instructors are so organized, friendly, and provide such great feedback!
It was ga great experience for my 9 month old. 😊
The teaching! Zayne was sick the 1st few days but once he started he learned a lot in a short period of time and is looking forward to coming back next year!
Convenient location, well staffed, clean and well maintained.
Very attentive to the children. Our boys love it.
The workout options and instructors are amazing! The staff treats us like family! I love this place
Various classes that meet my needs.
Love the variety of classes, and that they are in afternoons so that I'm able to attend daily if I want. Also, has a lot of other amenities.
We have enjoyed our time at the YMCA. The instructors are patient and make my kids feel comfortable to take risks. We have loved every instructor we have had and will continue coming back.
There does need to be some more organization before the lessons. It is difficult to send your kiddo off to someone with a brief “your child goes with so and so” and then to remember them the next day. If each class had an assigned space we were shown it would be easier to get them where they need to be.
Classes, instructors and front desk employees
Good job
Great but they cut 15 mins off of each lesson which adds up.
They have plenty of staff and my daughter had alot of fun.
She was honestly disappointed when the lessons were over! That's how much fun she had.
She now is confident to swim in the deep end of the pool.
I would highly recommend the YMCA for their swim lessons!
Thanks!
Kind and skilled trainers teaching water skills to my 5 year old son. They provided feedback at the end of each practice to discuss techniques to practice. Highly recommend!
Von and Abby, were my sons swim teachers. They both were exceptional and very attentive to the kids. I can’t say enough good things about our first time experience with the waxahachie YMCA.
I love the friendly family atmosphere and the staff.
I loved it I learned how to swim at the young age of 32!
Our family had a great time.
The instructors were so great with my son. I would highly recommend this to any parent.
The instructor was so good with my grandson. He was struggling in a group setting, so they worked with him separately. Camryn made him feel comfortable in the water and excited to go each day. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Our son (Parker)'s swim instructors were Brock and Scarlet, but Brock really worked with our son with his fear of jumping in and getting his face underwater. He was SO patient with him! Parker did learn how to swim and float, and has gained confidence in the water (he even snorkeled a little on vacation!!) We would love to come back and continue lessons with Brock!!
The instructors were patient and kind while helping my daughter feel comfortable in her first year of swimming lessons. She gained so much confidence and is excited to continue building on the skills.

My 5 yr old granddaughter had private swim lessons & she learned so much in 2 weeks! She went from being afraid of putting her head in the water to going down the slide on the last day. She loved it & loved her instructor! Highly recommend!
