Despite attending summer camp daily, his evaluation showed a regression--with no clear explanation. When I raised concerns, I was met with defensiveness and vague responses also surprisingly rude attitude. Communication with instructors was discouraged. While the instructors seem capable, the system feels rigid, opaque, and dismissive of parent feedback. We gave this program six months of patience and good faith. Sadly, transparency and accountability were never part of the equation.

You're required to give a 30-day notice, but they also say you can only cancel on the 23rd of each month--a tactic clearly designed to keep charging you for extra months. It feels like a scam. Between the short, ineffective lessons and the shady billing practices, you're better off taking your money somewhere else. There are plenty of schools that are more transparent, professional, and actually teach you something. Stay away.

The staff are super friendly at the front desk and the couple swim instructors that have taught my kids are wonderful and patient.

Would highly recommend to anyone wanting their child to feel more comfortable in the water and more importantly, to obtain and hone valuable self-rescue skills.

I have 2 boys, 20 months and a new 4. While on vacation, my older son forgot he didn't have his life jacket on and jumped into the deep end. I was right there, but I still managed some tears thinking "what if I wasn't?" These lessons aren't going to teach your child to swim freestyle across the pool. Ensuring your child can get himself to the surface and roll onto their backs and wait/cry until help arrives is what they do. And there are additional skills involved for older babies/children teaching them to swim all the way to safety. Both my boys LOVE Miss Heather. She is extremely patient, and she takes the kids' personalities into consideration. I ALWAYS felt my boys were safe with her, even when they were learning difficult maneuvers. Miss Heather knew how to correct their techniques so they would learn and demonstrate the important survival skills they need. I can't say enough about Miss Heather and ISR! I'm so glad we did it. I would beg of you to see her if you have regular water access. This skill is life-saving.

This swim school completely fits the bill. My first phone call with Tracey, the owner, gave me a great first impression of the school. She explained the programs they offered, answered all my questions, and helped me choose which classes were a good fit. Since I have two kids, she shuffled some things around in the schedule so that both kids can go on the same night with one lesson after the other. This is very convenient :) Also convenient is that all administrative stuff is available on their website, so I didn't have to fuss with printing out paperwork. On the first day of class, Tracey warmly greeted us at the door, and got us set up with everything we needed (including complimentary swim caps). For my 4-year-old's beginner class (Minnows), there were 4 students and 2 very capable, hands-on instructors. They were both excellent with kids and you can see that the kids are having a lot of fun. To get kids used to the water, they play a game where each kid gets a turn to do an activity for a short burst of time. They work in round robin fashion, and go very quickly, so as to keep it fun and make it less frightening. This method worked really great on my son because within the first couple of lessons, he overcame his fear of swimming. At the end of the class, they bring out toys and inflatables and this is my son's favorite part of the class. My daughter is in a more advanced class where they work on their strokes and swim laps. Again, great instruction, and she loves the class. By the way, the facilities are really nice. They are in the recreation building of a new apartment complex (Avana 522). The pool is a great size, nice and clean. Outside of the pool area there is a lobby with free wifi, sitting area with tv, and vending machines. It's been 3 weeks now. My kids LOVE their swim lessons and it's amazing to see all the progress they've made in such a short amount of time. All in all, we couldn't ask for any better. If I were to grade this school, I would give them a solid A+.
