Nitro!
Jason Y.

Probably the best swimming school for children! The teachers are very dedicated. The kids don't just learn swimming here. They also learn how to be good people.

I've been taking my son here since December 2018. He's definitely improved his swimming in general. They work on form and technique, which you can see the difference in just a few lessons. Reading the other reviews, I agree that it gets crowded during the weekends, but it's really the only time I have to take my son to classes. During the week it's extremely hard especially because it's a little farther from our house. A few reasons I don't give 5 stars are: 1. Changing rooms for my case (mom with son) are just not enough. And people really take a long time there. So for a 30 min lesson, waiting another 30mins to change it's hard when your child is wet and getting cold. 2. The inability to make up classes or get refunds. You need to sign up for the whole month and if there is an emergency, trip, sickness, they only give you the option to get another complimentary class, however, you need to call the morning you can make up the time to see if there are any spots available. It's a very restrictive policy. Especially for parents that have a full schedule like me. Overall, I'm pleased with the results, hence I continue taking my son here. In comparison to other places that offer the same, I feel that nitro exceeds my expectations. The fact that it gets so crowded still if people are not completely happy with the policies, it just shows that their program works and a lot of parents see results. My son went from being afraid of the water to become an avid swimmer today.

My 6 year old has been attending classes at Emler off and on since she was two years old. She loves…read moreswimming and has progressed nicely at Emler. Overall, I am satisfied with our experience here, but there are pros and cons to keep in mind. Pros: - Some teachers are excellent. - With kids that have water fears or are struggling, there is a secondary teacher that steps in to help. - Teachers are typically patient and compassionate. - Strong curriculum. - Generous makeup policy for missed classes. - Clean pool Cons: - Very expensive - 4 students to 1 teacher ratio for only 30 minute class time. - I have to follow up constantly with staff on evaluations and determining whether she's ready to move up a level. I wish they'd be more proactive about this. - Crowded waiting + changing rooms. - Difficult to get in touch with (no one answers the phone here).

We decided to discontinue private swimming lessons for our son due to lack of structure and…read moreprogress. Over time, he was assigned to multiple different instructors, which made consistency difficult. For private lessons, we expected a more thoughtful instructor match--especially given our son's high energy level. A stricter, more experienced teacher would have been far more appropriate, but that never happened. There were no clear goals, milestones, or timeline communicated for when progress should be expected or when he might advance to the next level. It felt less like skill-building and more like unstructured "play time." If the intention is simply fun and entertainment, that's something we could achieve by visiting a resort or renting a private pool elsewhere. This program may work for families with an unlimited budget who aren't concerned about measurable progress, but for us, the lack of accountability and clear expectations made it hard to justify continuing.

My three year old was terrified of getting water in her eyes and had figured out the trick of…read moresaying she had to go potty to get out of the pool. She was so nervous when we started at Waterloo and was up to her old tricks again with the "potty excuse", but we got the BEST teacher for our little girl. Ms. Ashton is AMAZING. She's fun, playful, sweet, encouraging, AND balances it with teaching and pushing my little girl. I'm amazed at how Ms. Ashton keeps track of where each kiddo is at in terms of their skills and what they like/don't like. She is patient and an absolute gem. I cannot rave about her and Waterloo as a whole enough. Just a few comments about Waterloo - we have had an amazing experience. From 2 of our kids being tentative to swimming to now loving it and seeing all the growth in their swimming is incredible. Today I watched one of my kids swim the length of the big pool and do a flip turn. There is no way I can do that as an adult. I'm amazed at not just the skills they are learning, but also the attention to form and technique. So very grateful to have lessons at an indoor pool, indoor seating for parents, and such kind staff (from teachers to the people who man the info email box).

Clean water, good instructions from staff, but I cannot get over why they instruct the kids in the…read morefurthest lanes away from the viewing area. You simply cannot see your kids swimming without binoculars. It defies logic.

I've been taking the kids here since September 2016 and I've been very happy with it so far…read more My kids always looking forward to their lesson and they've been making a wonderful progress and we plan to continue. Their coach, Ms.Campbell has been very friendly and knowledgeable. My kids were afraid of going inside the pool and used to hold on to her with dear life now they happily jump to the water, float and even dive-in. The front desk staff is very nice also! I can easily book make up lessons and they called my kids by their names as soon as they come in. The facility is great. Once in a while I found the bathroom is a little dirty but it could be from the previous classes. They just recently updated their rinse area and put some lights under the water and that was nice. I was very skeptical about having a slow progress, apparently pretty common in swimming school, however I don't feel that way. I feel like my kids taking their time learning how to use the right technique rather than just float away.

Traumatizing to say the least!…read more Took our 3 year old for her first swimming class and we were so excited. First thing they did was dunk her all the way in the water and she, of course, swallowed a lot of water and cried so hard. It took a while for another adult to come and "comfort her" which they really didn't offer true comfort. She was still crying and within the next two minutes it was her turn again and she screamed "nooo" and was kicking and screaming and the instructor dunked her all the way into the water AGAIN with her mouth wide open. Nothing short of torture! I quickly got up to take her out of the class. As a trauma informed practitioner, I know the importance of respecting people's "no's" and going at the pace of the child's body. My daughter was not ready to do that again and I was told over the phone that if she wasn't ready, they would practice only getting her chin in the water, and then the next round her nose and then her eyes, etc. that was not the case at all. When I took her out, one of the instructors said "she was doing great". I don't know in what world a terrified toddler whose agency just got taken away is considered doing "great" but I have never seen my daughter in more distress in my life. I am so glad I was brave enough to listen to my mom instinct and take her out of the class. I learned how to swim without the torture of drowning. This was not ok. I feel terrible about ever bringing my daughter to experience this. Absolutely terrible. I couldn't sleep last night and every time I replay it in my head, my heart hurts. What I would recommend doing instead is actually building a relationship of trust and respect with each child and going at their pace. I understand it's a short amount of time but the "cry it out" type of system in place is embarrassingly outdated and harmful.
