Each lane had about 3-4 students assigned and they take turns doing laps. At the end of practice, the instructor provides feedback to the child's chaperone. The school has thought of everything. They have a communal shower to rinse off by the pool, changing rooms, blow dryer station, seating area and reading material for adults, and merchandise for sale.

I've been counting down the days until I could sign my youngest up for her first swim classes. We…read morechose Goldfish Swim School - Waugh Chapel from a few recommendations and its location. I was excited that I could sign up for a same day class and the location did not disappoint. The initial front desk assistant was super friendly and the teacher was amazing as well. With my daughter being 1, we were in a small class and the teacher to student ratio was perfect. The class was the perfect timeframe and just the right time and sequence of exercises that kept my daughter engaged and excited. My only reason for removing 1 star is that I felt as if we could have received a little more instruction with the initial interaction. It was our first class and after finishing our lesson, I was instant it was an entire area of showers w/ shower gel, a hair drying station, the machine to dry bathing suits, etc. I was only told there was a section of bathrooms. So that'd be my only recommendation. Provide more instruction... a complete overview of amenities to first timers. Beyond that we had an amazing time and can't wait for our next class!

They act like their policies are super rigid, even though they created them. They are thieves and tried to make me forfeit over $700 in lessons because my son couldn't swim due to health reasons. The group lessons are useless and they will ignore your child and pay attention to others in the group effectively wasting 30 minutes of your time. Get private lessons elsewhere. You will waste time and energy in this place.

Very disappointing, my child went through multiple instructors. Not all instructors seemed…read morecomfortable working with kids. We found a great instructor, so we decided to switch our days and location to follow this instructor only for her hours to change. We take my daughter to class only to find that there was a new instructor. The issue is that no one told me she would have a new instructor after I expressed through email my frustration with the instructor we had and the only reason I didn't cancel previously was because her new instructor was good with kids. My daughters last swim session was a complete horror show, it appeared that the instructor was in training as he was receiving direction from another instructor. I sent them an email to British Swim inquiring about my daughter's initial instructor, at which point they told me her schedule had changed. I reminded them that the only reason my daughter was still attending was because of that instructor. I cancelled and said my child would not be attending her last three classes and asked for a partial refund, and they said no. Save your time and money.

I sent my 4 year old son to this establishment for Summer Camp starting in June 2019. He was born…read morein January 2015, so he will not be 5 until next year. Before registering I had a phone conversation with one of the staff members. I specifically asked if they were sure that they accept preschool age children for camp. He reassured me that they have in the past. I explained that my son was in preschool at a center but would start pre-k at a private school in the Fall and was told that was fine. I visited the place twice without my son to obtain paperwork and to drop off the paperwork and immunization records and still was told that all was well. His age and school information was included in writing as requested on their forms. Fast forward to my son starting camp. The first week was fine and he seemed happy. I did not receive any complaints from the staff or my son. A couple of weeks later, my husband picked my son up and the female staff person asked about my son's academic abilities. She seemed surprised that a 4 year old child could not write numbers independently. That was strange to me as I assumed that staff working with children would receive some sort of training on developmentally appropriate activities. I chose not to make too much of the issue. The next week I received complaints about the need to redirect my son from approaching the deep end at the pool during a field trip and again about them taking his play time away because he was not writing his numbers. Any parent or individual properly trained to work with children would know that four year old children often require redirection. They also should be able to recognize numbers and letters but might not be writing independently yet. My son can write letters of the alphabet, his name, count to 100 and more but that was not enough for them. I was appalled at the fact that his play time was used as punishment since play is the most important form of learning for a child at that age. The straw that broke the camel's back was that a staff person called my son "stubborn". My family is not perfect but we definitely are not tolerant of name calling. We do not call our child names and would never allow anyone else to do so. US Martial Arts is not a bad place for elementary age kids but parents of preschoolers beware. I would NOT recommend sending your child under six years old to summer camp at this establishment. Expectations are unrealistic and trust me when I say you will notice a difference in your child. My happy go-lucky boy who has always been rated as above average and is very well liked by teachers was in tears when I reminded him on Sunday that he would go to camp on Monday. Needless to say, I pulled him out and made other arrangements for him to be in a loving environment with folks who understand how to work with children his age. I would have appreciated a denial when I inquired about signing him up for camp if they are inexperienced with his age group. I would have also appreciated feedback daily about his play time being revoked instead of finding out the way I did. When I called to inform them that he would not return, no questions were asked. That is less than ideal customer service since I have already spent almost $1,000 with them. All is well as the happiness of my child is all that matters.

Yes, I signed it, but I did not read the policy and assumed this camp's policy was similar to other camps' policy in this area that there is no charge if a cancellation happens more than 40 days before the camp starting date.

Club Scientific Chesapeake offers all kinds of programs, but the one I'm reviewing is the one my…read moreson attended, which is for the Summer Camp of Camp Jurassic for ages 4-5 years old. I knew it was the perfect camp for my son since Camp Jurassic deals with dinosaurs and gemstones, both of which my son loves. The camp staff seem to be very caring of the children and offer plenty of fun activities. My son was excited every day to go to camp (and it was his first time ever going to camp) and after each day he always brought home a variety of projects that they had worked on during the day which varies from an erupting volcano, to an edible volcano, to a dinosaur model, to magnetic gemstones, rock candy, and so much more! My son was thrilled to go on a dinosaur dig where he "discovered" dinosaur bones that they put together. I'm thrilled to discover a camp that challenges my son both mentally (since they do scientific experiments and learning projects) as well as physically when they go outside to play. I've never seen my son so excited about attending anything before and he comes home every day with stories of all the fun he had during the day and all the new things he's learned. I highly recommend this company if you're looking for some place for your child to have a lot of fun as well as learn a lot in the process, since my son can't seem to stop raving about how great of an experience he's had with them!
