Agree with the recent reviews, pool set up has very limited range. Seems the instructors/…read moremanagement focus is just to get the child stick on same level as long as possible. They do not correct the kids during class rather just call out their weakness post the class which seems pointless for kids at that age. They stress on the fact parents learn the skills by watching/listening the instructor during class and then teach your child yourself during family swim. Definitely over-pricey. Feel being taken for granted and being used to the advantage there are not many swim schools around in area. Make up class process is so mundane and inconvenient.

The swimming lessons were ok. I will say I felt a little lost most lessons and felt like I was…read morepaying a very expensive price to use their pool. Their lesson make up system is terrible. If you miss a few lessons and have to make them up but cancel because you don't want to keep paying for more lessons they only give you 30 days to make up. The worst part is you can only schedule make up sessions weekly by calling in to check availability. But they never answer! And they won't schedule you in person. So I am basically robbed 100s of dollars because I won't have enough time to make them all up.

The class sizes are small, and the teachers quickly learn all of the kids names and personalities. They have really taken an interest in making sure that the swimmers are comfortable. If you enroll a brand new swimmer, plan to enroll for at least a handful of months. They will cover safety as well as technique.

And it is such a cookie cutter program that they only practice 3 skills in some levels. Better off going somewhere with red cross trained teachers in my opinion.

Just a word of warning, DO NOT use Bear Paddle in Mason for swim lessons…read more We bought a groupon for 16 lessons from Bear Paddle and with 5 lessons left they told us they were switching to their summer schedule and we could only continue if we paid an additional $300+ I declined the additional cost because we already paid quite a bit for the 16 lessons. They told me I could save them and use them when they went back to the regular lesson in the fall. I was just told my remaining lessons will not be honored unless I pay for at least 4 additional lessons or pay for their clinic. They told me it's not their fault, it is corporates change and they won't honor my lessons I paid for. They also refused to give me a phone number to this corporate office they are blaming. Don't lose your money going to Bear Paddle. That is not the way to run a business by stealing from your clients.

The bad, cancelling your lessons is a total pain, you MUST cancel in person "because there is paperwork". Also when they call off a lesson, they just give you an extra one, but it does not act as a credit to your next set of lessons, just a makeup outside of your regular weekly scheduled lessons. For us this meant when we were completely finished with the school we had over a months worth of weekly lessons left on the table.

I was granted a scholarship for my 2 boys for 12 lessons. It was such a great experience! My kids…read moreabsolutely LOVED their time there. Amy contacted me personally soon after I had applied for the scholarship & got me enrolled & ready to go. Our first time there we were greeted with smiles & our goodie bags. The place is very clean & kid friendly. All the staff is very kind. Everyone I encountered there was good with the kids, cared about the kids & seemed to love their job. Ryanne kept a good eye on my middle child as he is extremely ornery & squirmy. She was awesome with my kids! I can't say enough about Amy, she's a wonderful lady! She interacts with everyone & calls the kids by their names. She walks the edge of the pool checking on everyone & all the things, during lessons. She talked to my boys after every lesson & even teared up on our last one. She gave my boys big hugs telling them she hopes to see them soon. The scholarship that they offer is such a blessing. We wouldn't have been able to afford lessons other wise. My middle child has nearly drowned twice, and now after his lessons I feel he could make his way out of a pool on his own if need be. I highly recommend Goldfish of Dayton!! These lessons are core memories for my kids for life!! 4/30/24
