They have her swim in a variety of patterns to work her body in all ways & they do a body massage in the water too. After she gets a quick blow dry where she ends up looking like a big puff ball. Ha! I've known Miranda for several years and she truly loves dogs. You can tell they are her passion.

This is a nice park. The playground is big, and there are a number of fun things to play on/with,…read moreincluding slides (multiple), bridges, a rock wall, tunnels and more. It's all very colorful and fun. There's also a splash pad with multiple water features, and it's located in a nice shady spot with benches all around. Shade! Around a splash pad! This seems to be a rare thing nowadays, but yes, there is shade here. As a parent, that's probably what I like this park: There is always somewhere shady to sit or stand. This park also had a gigantic roofed overhand area with benches for big parties. When we visited, there was a church party going on. There is also a little rain garden on the outer edge of the park, which was a welcome sight. I love when parks make the effort to incorporate native plants into their park spaces. It doesn't go unnoticed, and it's greatly appreciated! Potawatomi Park is directly outside of Potawatomi Zoo. The two share a parking lot, so it might be a drag to find parking on busy days.

Instead of listening to members and treating everyone fairly, she came across as controlling and dismissive. I believe members should be treated with respect and given an opportunity to express their concerns without feeling intimidated. I hope the YMCA will review this situation and ensure that all members are treated professionally and respectfully.

Their encouragement and support pushed me to be the best I could. I highly recommend their swim team! Downside: There's a decent water slide. Otherwise, there is only one or sometimes two lap lanes, overall it's a rather small pool. It is very expensive and always over crowded which is why 3 stars is appropriate.

It was $12 each for non-residents and the children and adults we're friendly and welcoming . The bathroom facilities were ok hence the 4 instead of 5 stars .

I went in to the lessons trying not to get my hopes up as I had been disappointed with other area lessons, but after the first lesson I was pleasantly surprised. The lessons take place in her back yard and she employs several staff members. Brittany and her staff are very professional and give the best lessons in the Portage/Kalamazoo area. My children have participated in her group and private lessons and have been very satisfied with both. If you have children with special needs, Brittany's Swim school does a great job accommodating for all types of students. My oldest daughter is autistic and I am truly amazed how well Brittany and her staff work with her. The schedule is posted each summer in April/May on Brittany's website (www.brittanysswimschool.com) The lessons fill up quick, so if your interested in lessons, it's important to call right away!
