    I'm giving 1 star because I have no lower option. The teacher (Imani) was fantastic, but the semi…read moreprivate lessons are a ripoff. The owner charged me $500 for 2 kids to take four 30-minute semi private lessons (when both kids were swimming, one sat on the steps while the other got instruction, so they basically only got to swim for 15 minutes each). I later learned that Ashley charges roughly that same amount for each kid to get their own four private 30-minute lessons! I asked about this discrepancy and the owner ignored the query for several weeks. When she did call me directly, she just said this was the policy and refused my request for a refund. (FWIW, I initially only communicated to her via text message because she was recommended by a friend; she never sent me any company policy information until after I had paid.) AVOID!

    When I was a kid I hated going to swimming lessons. My sister hated going to swimming lessons…read more Pretty much everyone I knew hated to go to swimming lessons. My kids don't hate it. In fact they kinda like it. Actually, they really like it. And for that I blame Ashley. We were recommended to her by an adult friend who worked with her to improve his own swimming. But Ashley is great with kids. Now my children are pool safe. I can trust that they can fall in a pool and not drown. We are not a terribly athletic family, so we have no Olympic dreams. Still, the kids continue to work with Ashley to get stronger and stronger in the pool. Maybe if she were meaner like the swim teachers of my youth, the kids might progress a little faster. But it's also possible their slow progress is just genetic and based on the fact that outside of their time with Ashley they spend almost all of their hours on dry land. On the practical side, Ashley is great to work with and has been exceedingly flexible with my crazy schedule, and I appreciate that immensely. But that nice to the kids thing? That's still hard to take.

    I've been taking my two boys to HV Swim for 3 years, and while before it was a bit hard for them to…read moreget in a lot of practice because of class sizes, this year at Gold's Gym having 3 kids per class, it's made a world of a difference. With just one class down, I'm writing this review with 5 stars because they've done more in the first class in 30 minutes than they have in years past combined, so thank you to HV Swim but also to instructor Richard. My one boy was always so scared of the water, and I've had to request credits because he never went in. Now, he not only stayed there, but swam by himself for the first time ever, was happy about it, and can't wait to go back- he just needed the right motivation. My other son is a fish and was given the right encouragement to do it on his own and swam laps, with a safe eye watching him. I've never felt better about HV Swim, and definitely recommend their lessons!

    I would not recommend this place for your kids. Poor customer service, they never answer emails…read more Once u sign up and pay your money they treat you like if they are giving you the service for free. They pulled my daughter out of the pool after the instructor stated she could handle and it was a make up class they we paid for. Totally embarrased my 5 year old which she carries around till this day stating at family dinners how she got thrown out of the pool. Way to go hudson valley swim. No 5 year old should have to go through that. Waited 2 weeks to contact us to try and make amends which at that point is a no go. We talking about a half hr and just common courtesy here. I suggest take your kids else where we work hard for our money and no child should be treated this way. I could make a bigger deal about this and go to the state and owners of golds gym and let them in on what type of organization this is. So in a word stay away there are cheaper and better options around this area. Funny how they only respond to negative reviews. Again we are talking about 30min. Time i didnt show up un annouced thats was out scheduled time. I did not know there was new classes. No one ever responded to my emails. But again this is a paid service i pay for this this is not free at the end of the day the customer is correct when they are paying. You do not embarass a 5 year old. I was very polite and not rude about the situation my daughter is the one that was most hurt. But several paragraphs about the situation from hudson valley swim high road taken by a business

    HORRENDOUS experience. Do not waste your time enrolling your child in this "swim school."…read more The communication and professionalism from the staff were extremely poor. My son, who is autistic and nonverbal, was placed into a class with three other students after I was specifically directed to enroll and pay for that class. After just ONE session, I was then told he was "not fit" for the class. Jody, the woman who answers the phone even admitted that many parents are having issues understanding the class descriptions on their website. Despite that, when I asked for a full refund due to being placed in the wrong class based on THEIR guidance, I was refused one. Instead, I was told that because they "couldn't fill his spot" for the current week's session (classes are on Wednesdays), they "had to" charge me anyway. Completely unacceptable, especially for a business working with children and families who need clear guidance and support. DO NOT book with these people.

    I don't know how this swim program is even in existence. If I could give negative stars I would. To…read morebegin, the communication is awful and nonexistent at times. Theres been 4 times where a class has been cancelled and no notification is given. I along with other parents have shown up for class and no instructor is there. When Ive emailed or called about this I receive no response from anyone. Secondly and most importantly. There is NO second instructor or lifeguard. That means that you have to watch your child like a hawk because the instructor teaching the class is responsible for individually teaching the students while watching the other students they are not working with. I brought my younger child with me for a class prior to the older child's class and was not able to watch my older child in the pool while I was changing my little one. My older child in the pool fell off the step and was struggling to stay afloat. My child swallowed water and had to be seen later at urgent care because she was having high fevers. The instructor didn't notice because he was busy with another student. When I spoke to the owner about this incident I was not offered an apology, concern for my child, or even a solution. The owners of this swim program should be ashamed of themselves and their disregard for children's safety. I wouldn't recommend this program to anyone I know. Save your money and your time and go elsewhere!
