Plus, this is one of the few swim schools in Austin that has a comprehensive adult curriculum. I look forward to coming here every week. Margo T. has especially been a fantastic instructor to learn from and I'm grateful for her resourcefulness and expertise. She coaches with kindness and encouragement, and she puts in extra time to find new drills for me that target my weaknesses. She is attentive in the pool and always has great feedback that helps me improve quickly. I'm so grateful for Margo and the entire Waterloo team for providing a fun and effective learning environment for adult swimmers.

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 2 year old for the first couple weeks wanted nothing to do with lessons. Miss Nathalia and Miss Hannah came up with a plan to help him become more comfortable getting in the water. He now, along with his older brother, look forward to swim class! I am feeling much more confident for their safety at home in our own pool, and love the fact they are actually learning to swim. The team here is incredible! Their encouragement, attention to each participant, and overall ability to make learning fun is so great to watch. I can't recommend this swim school enough!

We explained the concerns and the reasons for frustration. He offered a free assessment session the next week. The assessment session was very thorough. The coach, Michael, was very personable and informative. Robert tapped to Michael afterwards and placed my daughter in properly assessed level. He talked again at length to explain how the school works, who to talk to for information and how to approach him for any concerns. I'm very impressed for the level of care and customer oriented approach. I feel strongly about their commitment to focus on children learning and getting them ready for the swimming skills as fast as possible. I highly recommend this school. I'd recommend to any new parent to approach Robert for any issues. He's very genuine and friendly person.

Scheduling is a breeze and they come to you, which is ideal for us. Our instructor, Mya, has been kind and patient with our son, and he has made so much progress in only 9 lessons. He went from refusing to get in the water without floaties to being able to hold his breath underwater for 8 seconds. I cannot recommend Haley Whatley Swim enough!

They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed before we went off by ourselves. It looks like they have a lot of group dives and several SSI courses every month. The store carries everything one would need. For those looking to test different gear, I could only see the Mares brand dive gear. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a place to learn how to scuba dive, get more certs, or just looking for a friendly dive community!
