He seems to have made a lot of progress in the half day swim school. I wish this were true about the afterschool program as well.

The FFLD Y FlyFins have been a 10+ for Ella (and our family). Every swim coach is truly fantastic in their role. They are incredibly knowledgeable about the sport and do an amazing job teaching all of the strokes while helping the swimmers become stronger athletes and individuals. They are encouraging, kind, and incredibly motivating. The coaches genuinely care about each child, not only as a swimmer but as a person. They take the time to get to know each child, understand their individual strengths and challenges, and consistently encourage them to reach their full potential. They make the kids feel great about themselves by celebrating their progress, building their confidence, and creating an environment where everyone feels supported, comfortable, and valued... and they have FUN!!!!!! We are so grateful for the positive impact the FlyFins coaches and team have had on Ella. They have truly boosted her confidence over the years, both in and out of the pool. We couldn't ask for a better team or coaching staff.

What do you like about your Fairfield YMCA Aquatics experience?

My children and I have had wonderful experiences with the swim program, and we've especially appreciated their instructors, Sarah and Miriam. They have both been patient, encouraging, and have made lessons a positive experience for my children. I'm also very happy with the variety and number of classes the Y offers.

One area I hope the Y will consider improving is adding a make-up class option for missed lessons. Offering families the opportunity to make up an occasional missed class would add even more value to an otherwise great program.

What could we do to improve?

What happened with Nacho? He was very good with small kids and since he went missing swim classes at Strattford are not very good. Classes start late and finish after 20+ minutes instead of 40. Teacher doesn't go into water which is fine for kids that are 12+ but will not work with younger kids. Impossible to get private lesson booked as my son has adhd and needs 1 on 1 attention. Nacho was able to deal with my son. Ever time Strattford gets good experienced teacher he/she is gone in few months.

Love the classes. Love the teachers. Wish there were more tents and comforts for the kids during summer camp. Fix parking lot. Make the women’s showers all behind curtains
Thank you for all you do
