I'm an adult who has never been able to even float and learning here has truly changed my life…read more After years of bad experience I had so much anxiety around being in the water, but within the first 30 minute class I was able to float for the first time in my life. This is my second summer coming back to PowerPacked Swimming and I am now able to dive, truly something that would have terrified me before. The coaching staff is so knowledgable and patient and the small class sizes are designed for real 1:1 engagement. The class price and the quality really can't be beat anywhere in Houston. If you are on the fence about taking swim classes, especially as an adult, absolutely do it.

PowerPacked Swimming has been absolutely fantastic for our family. Over the past year (almost two…read moreyears!), they've done an incredible job teaching my daughter to swim. She's 4 1/2 now and swimming around like a little fish -- confident, safe, and genuinely excited for every lesson. Coach Matthew deserves a special shoutout. He is patient, encouraging, and truly knows how to connect with kids while still pushing them to grow. Watching my daughter's skills and confidence develop under his guidance has been amazing. Highly recommend -- 10/10, no notes. If you're looking for a place where your child will learn to swim while loving the process, this is it.

Three weeks ago we approached the front desk to seek help in identifying a class as one of my sons was moved up to the next level. The girl (this one likely in her 20's) was sitting on the counter, playing on her phone, and it wasn't until my husband asked "could we get some help please" that she finally got off of her phone. Today, my son's mini class was being taught by two 'coaches' during one of the exercises, they turned their backs to the parents and kids and chit-chatted. Once again, my husband piped up and said, "is this all we are going to do today?" , they resumed their conversation before engaging back with the class. Needless to say, this behavior is incredibly dangerous when it comes to kids in the water and it is completely disrespectful to parents who are paying good money to get 'lessons'. It got to the point that my husband took my child out of the pool mid-lesson with no acknowledgment from the coaches. Given the behavior demonstrated over these past few weeks, we will be moving to another establishment for lessons. It is a shame that because of their 30-day cancellation policy, that we are having to pay another month's worth of classes that we will not be using based on the reckless, dangerous, and disrespectful service our family has been subjected to to. Please, please, please do your homework before signing your little one up for classes.

She responds very quickly through texts and is excellent about notifying scheduling/location changes. We've had three instructors so far. Lisa has designed a program that every instructor follows--which is great for kids since they know what's coming next. Our current instructor is Nina and she is all kinds of wonderful. My toddler was having a very hard time with being in the water without her mom. Nina was kind, very loving and patient with a screaming child. We're 4 lessons in and now my younger daughter happily walks to her teacher. Nina adjusted her lesson to accommodate my children's needs. Overall we couldn't be happier and highly recommend you start your swim lessons here!

As first time parents, my husband and I didn't know where to begin with swim lessons. We just knew…read morewe need to do something quick because our son had no fear of the water. We signed him up for semi-private lessons at a facility. He had recently turned 2 and was put with a child much older than him. The first lesson was horrible as he was pulled under the water with no warning. He became so afraid of the water after that one lesson that he cried to even take a bath that night. During his second lesson I became so upset, I told my husband to go in and get him out of the water. After one month and his fear only growing, we pulled him out and didn't know where we were going to go from there. Fast forward to that summer, I was able to snag a coveted spot with Ms. Emily. The first few lesson were hard and there were tears but Ms. Emily has a special gift when working in the water with children. She is loving, patient, consistent yet firm. She establishes a bond with each child so they know they can trust her. She was a God send and exactly what my son needed. She builds a rapport with each family and it is evident that she unconditionally loves your child as she would her own. My son has swam with most of the instructors at All Things Swim. Each one is an extension of Emily's teaching. They are consistent, patient and fun. Each lesson ends with a few minutes of fun time, children always leave the water on a positive note. Our instructors always greet us by name as soon as we walk in door. It makes you feel special, not like you are just another client. My son loves going to swim and cries when it's time to leave. Ms. Emily and her team have built a solid swim foundation for my son. I no longer have a fear when he is around water. I know that he is a strong swimmer and knows his survival skills to safely get out. I love watching him grow in his confidence and swimming abilities.

The one thing this place has locked down is ORGANIZATION. The place is huge and has a lot of…read moreswimmers. Although it looks chaotic, they have a great system to keep things under control. The front desk has two people working, so even if one is on the phone, you are greeted by another member. Everyone I have encountered have been so friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. Once you are signed up, they give your child a color specific wrist band, so the instructors and staff members know where to direct them. All the instructors have customized shirts with names on the back, which is super helpful to me because I can't remember faces as quickly. They don't make it a point where they speak with you after every swim lesson to give feedback on your child. However, towards the end of the week session or however long you signed up for, you are allowed to go to the other side of the pool and watch your child and then you can ask and/or discuss whatever you want. When I signed my son up, he was in for an "intense" weeklong session where he went every day for 2 weeks for 30 minutes a day. He started off as a "guppy". He did the session with 2-3 other kids, so technically I was paying for only 10 minutes of swim time. However, it was still worth it because he was young, and I think seeing other kids swim helps comfort him and gave him confidence. He cried on the first day, BUT his instructor, Miss Mary Lou was super sweet and was able to calm him down. At the end of the session, he was all smiles and couldn't wait to come back. When I signed up, my son got a shirt and a booklet. That booklet is super cute and helpful! It's a fun comic for the kid, but it also tells me what to expect because they basically explained everything in there. I'm telling you, their organization is great. They thought of everything! After the guppy session, he was advanced to the next level: goldfish. We transitioned to him swimming 1 day a week with other kids again. However, when private lessons popped up, we switched. I highly recommend private 1 on 1 sessions because you get the whole 30 minutes. The instructors do teach the entire 30 minutes and never stop a minute early, which is nice. You can rest assure you're paying for the entire time. I like the private sessions because I feel like my son was able to learn more. Mr. Luke was his private instructor, and he was awesome. He pushed him, which I appreciated. Of course, when my son showed signs of fatigue or was overwhelmed, I saw Mr. Luke adjusted his methods a bit, but he didn't "baby" him. The place has lots of changing rooms and a huge shower room for the kids. There is also lots of places for parents to sit and watch their child. Although a lot of people come and go, it doesn't feel overly crowded or claustrophobic. When your child passes the float test, they have a super cute tradition where the child gets to place their handprint anywhere on the wall and write their name. It just makes the child's experience more special and memorable. Overall, I highly recommend this place! This was a great place for my son to start off learning how to swim.
