I hate to write reviews. However, this review is a must! I have had my daughter in at least 5…read moreswimming programs. This is by far the best. First, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Missed lesson, juggling schedules, or trying to figure out the best fit for your swimmer? The staff will work with you to get your kid into the right class. While the lessons are only 30 minutes, the instructors make use of every single second of the time. Your lesson starts promptly (don't be late!). The staff is truly efficient. At the end of each lesson, the instructor comes to you the parent and lets you know what your child worked on during the lesson; what she did absolutely well and what she needs additional work on. This is done in an incredibly positive manner. Your child will feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of each lesson. As for the lessons: the small classes promote a trusting relationship between the student and instructor. Crucial with hesitant or new swimmers. Also, the pool is warm. No need to convince hesitant swimmers to engage in a lesson while they are freezing! My daughter is 12 and started swimming at 5. She started to seriously swim at 10 when she started at Swimtastic. This year, we enrolled in summer jam which was swimming every day for a week. We did a two-week session. I saw more improvement in those two weeks than in other 6-week programs. My daughter started her swimming journey at Swimtastic and absolutely loved it. We came back to Swimtastic to help her develop her technical skills. She still loves it. If your child (any age) needs to learn or just improve, I highly recommend lessons at the Waukesha Swimtastic.

The concept is great. The facility is clean. Classes of the same level are so inconsistent. My…read moredaughter has had the same skill she needs to develop for 3 months. They send in extra instructors to work with the kids that are really behind and you'd think after three months of needing to master one more skill before moving up they'd work with her on that skill. Instead they just keep taking the monthly payment and waste her time on other things instead of just focusing on that one thing. In a 30 min class that means she only has two times to try that skill. It's really frustrating when you watch new students enter and get more attention as the instructor spends extra time with that child trying to figure out if they are in the right class. If you are looking for basic intro to water it's great. It's just not enough focused time to work and move up.

This place is an industrial factory of swim lessons for children, and I can only mean that in the…read moremost positive way. Goldfish is behind Culver's in Brookfield, and we went there based on a recommendation from a friend. They are incredibly good at what they do. The entire place is decorated vibrantly with bright colors and an ocean/beach theme. There are different types of levels that you can enroll your child in and for each level, they are assigned a lane during class. This means if you have multiple children swimming at different levels, they can go to the class at the same time. This is an amazing thing for busy parents. While your child is swimming, there is a comfy adult sitting area behind a glass partition where you can take pictures still without the danger of getting splashed. Afterwards, there are showers where all the kids rinse off and little dressing rooms for privacy. I love also that they provide a hair drying station as well. This place does everything you can to make swim lessons easy and painless for adults and children. I would highly recommend it, especially if you are thinking about enrolling multiple kids so they can get the attention they need for their level but still be scheduled together.

It's based on seasonal schedules, and you pick the evening that works best for your schedule Mon, Wed or Thursday. Lessons are 30min at either 6pm or 6:30pm.

One year ago my daughter would scream if her face got wet, now she puts her head under no problem and can completely float on her back on her own and is learning how to swim. She makes progress every week. If we can only afford one class each week, this would be the one we would never miss. They keep moving her up into better classes (even in the middle of the semester) to keep her growing. Very happy with this school. Teachers are awesome too!!!

I wasn't 100% sure about starting my daughter in swim lessons as young as we did (6 months), but I…read morealso didn't want her to lose her love of water by becoming afraid of being splashed in the face or some other random water fear that happens with some children. I also wanted to ensure she's a strong swimmer as early as possible, because let's face it, accidents happen and kids do fall into pools, no matter how careful you are. My daughter has officially successfully completed Backfloat Baby 1 and started Backfloat Baby 2 about two weeks ago. We were SO SO lucky to have Christine for our first instructor, and I really hope we are able to have her again for a future class. She put my anxiety at ease, and handled my daughter so well (can you imagine how hard it is to get a 6 month old who loves to lick pool water to actually close her mouth long enough to be submerged under water for 4 seconds?!) I've also seen her with some of the more rambunctious older kids, and she has the patience of an angel. I really hope my daughter comes to trust our new instructor as much as she did Christine so that we can have a successful Backfloat Baby 2 class and continue on our swim journey. All of the employees here are so sweet, and I'm so glad that we chose FOSS for our daughter.

My daughter rides consistently and the prices are so affordable that I don't mind. She is being taught everything from grooming and tacking and riding to cleaning up, personal responsibility, safety, and riding etiquette. Every lesson is different. There are different types available for riders of different skill level, type, age, and approach. The stable owner and trainer is hands on, patient, funny and so respectful. I am just never anything but impressed with her and the team of workers and volunteers that help her out (including Husband Dean). We had our first birthday party there this year and it put things just up and over the top. I had to do a review. I cannot recommend this place any higher. Its a home away from home. 5 stars and beyond.
