Doing it with a partner it take time to learn the basics and that's very sad because you want them to learn their best. Thats what you paying. hopefully they can have a teacher for each child even though there partnes.. Because really? havin like 15 minutes of teaching..

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!

If I could give Goldfish zero stars I would, but alas one star it is…read more During a Thursday night, juniors 1 class, my three year old son went under the water and for 30 seconds to a minute he was not gotten to by either his swim instructor or the lifeguard. During this situation I was sitting in the room and had to scream "he's under the water" repeatedly in order for them to notice he had gone under. The lifeguard was not actively scanning the room or even standing, he was sitting talking to co-workers. After this situation we brought my son to the emergency room and luckily he was okay but when we addressed the issue with Goldfish via email they gaslit us and were dismissive of the situation. They claimed they had done nothing wrong and that I was merely an "anxious" parent. They refuse to respond to our email or send us video footage of the situation. Do not bring your child here under any circumstances.

This is a great neighborhood YMCA with a good variety of amenities and classes. One of the biggest…read morehighlights is the outdoor pool, which is heated during the winter and stays open year-round unless temperatures drop below freezing. The pool also has a 9-foot deep end and a few lap lanes. One downside is there's very little shade around the pool area. Inside, there are free weights and cardio areas, basketball courts, TRX setup, and several group fitness rooms offering classes like yoga, pilates, Zumba, pickleball, and other fitness programs. The instructors and staff have always been very friendly and welcoming. The men's and women's locker rooms also include a steam sauna and hot tub, which are nice amenities. However, the steam saunas are frequently closed or broken for maintenance, so I'd recommend calling ahead to confirm what's currently working before visiting. Another downside is that the lockers require you to bring your own lock--they do not have built-in combination locks like many newer gyms. They offer memberships for different age groups, and another huge plus is the free covered parking garage. However, during weekday evenings (around 6 p.m.), the garage can get pretty full due to after-work crowds and youth programs. I've been a YMCA member for several years and would definitely recommend this location.

I chose this gym bc of the pool and bc it doesn't allow filming inside the fitness center which in…read moretodays age it is an amazing experience to be able to workout without fear of ending up on social media without without your consent. I also like the weight room as it has an impressive selection of smith machines and cardio equipment such as the treadmills which have fans incorporated into their machines. There are 3 things I have noticed that I don't like: 1. the weight room doesn't have a bench that allows you to do workouts in declined mode and the staff wouldn't let me donate a commercial bench with that option. so Declined DB or BB press cannot be done which is strange as it is offered at most corporate gyms. 2. DB selections for the most common weights sets such as 10-25 lb are lacking with only 1 set of DB weights per designated weight for a gym that might have 15 people working out in free weight room (the very least offer *3 sets of 12 lb dumbbells). 3. the men's locker rooms wooden benches and the three leather seats by the tv are stinky dirty and we know this bc every-time I placed my towel on the seats or the bench to change out of my clothes; this foul smell is left on the towel. The smell is so potent that it transfers to my gym bag like trash left out on the sun for several days and I find myself having to wash the towel and the gym bag just to get the homeless stench off. I have learned to avoid the men's locker room like a plague and instead use the lockers found across the gym to put my belongings.

We chose HSC because we liked the idea of the float test. The kids work toward being thrown into…read morethe water with clothes on and floating on their back until they reach the edge. In reality, you just need to pay attention to whether or not your kid and their teacher are a good match. My son was with one teacher for almost year with very slow progress and no float test pass. I think it was due to the combo of teacher being more cautious type and my son being more scared type. He was a 4 almost 5 year old in a class with 3 years olds. Anyway, it was my fault for not paying more attention and switching him to another class sooner. He is did great with his new teacher and passed his float test (finally). We had to switch him again recently due to scheduling conflicts and I will be more attentive to his progress from now on.

My daughter has learned so much from going to Houston swim club. We tried a different swim school…read morethat was closer to our home but she did not learn anything at all for 6 months. The teachers at this other school were all high school students that didn't have much experience. We decided to take her back to her favorite teacher Mr Charlie at this location and so far she has progressed tremendously. The only thing I don't like is the parking is not that great since it's inside a neighborhood and you have to park in front of houses sometimes.

We have had several great instructors as well including Jasmine, Zyahra & now Alex. The front desk is always helpful and welcoming. I love how they know Liya by name and keep us updated on her progress with continuous progress cards. The coaches will give you feedback at the end of the 30 min lesson and give phone calls as well. I definitely recommend this swim school!

The only one that isn't is Kristin. She knows my child by name and always makes it a point to greet us when we enter and leave the building. The rest of the staff mean-mug us like they are confused as to why we're there. I'd prefer not to patronize businesses that have poor customer service so I'm constantly on the lookout for another one to enroll my daughter in.
