KC swim academy is the swim lesson division of Team Unify- a club swim team. During the summer…read morethey offer swim camps M-Th x 2 weeks 30min each. During the school year they have weekly lessons on Sunday. Group lessons are $22 per lesson, and there are a max of 4 kids (but most of the time my kids were in groups of 2 or 3) also if there were 4 kids they usually had 2 instructors per group for the younger kids. I really like the fact that they did not use any swim 'backpacks' like the lessons we had at the YMCA. Suzanne is the director and is so nice and helpful. Most of the instructors are high school kids that swim on the team. They have recently added infant survival (and I believe it is one of the few places in the city that offers it). If you have an infant - I would highly recommend these lessons. They will be an expert swimmer by 3. If you kids are toddlers, you might consider private lessons first. I found we got a lot more out of the group lessons after a few private ones first. We had our lessons at the Shawnee Mission East HS pool, but I think they offer them at a few others during the summer. This is a very well run group and if you have a kid that swims and you want to improve his stroke, they'll do a great job.

Can't say enough good things about Emler. In only three individual lessons, our three year old has…read morealready done more in 75 minutes than in all combined pool efforts before. A confident paddler with a floatie on, he is not as sure of himself without the training wheels. Staff members at Emler are flexible, nurturing, and understanding about comfort levels and have put him at ease in the water. Our main reason for signing him up for lessons was for pool safety and individual confidence, not necessarily strokes or technique at this point. Our coach has already instilled a strong sense of safety and provides skills for him to swim back to the wall and pull himself up in case of a fall in emergency. They offer both individual and group sessions ranging in prices and value. As our little one grows, we'll look to the group instruction as an option. We're headed on vacation this summer and I have no doubt our child's swim skills will be top-notch after his time at Emler. Thankful for everything they do and provide for everyone's precious cargo.

Kathryn did a wonderful job with my 7-year-old son. She was effective, kind, and professional. My…read moreson has sensory issues and anxiety from a previous negative experience with swim class (not Sunsational), so he was not always an easy student. But Kathryn very patiently worked with him over 6 lessons to increase his comfort level and build his skills one by one. When he struggled, she brought toys for him to play with, which worked great. During the final lesson, he swam for the first time! We are thrilled and grateful. Also, Kathryn scheduled all the lessons in a short period of time because we were visiting from out of town; we appreciated her availability. Thank you so much to Kathryn and Sunsational for making it happen!

One of the staff members heard that we wanted to swim in the 13ft part, then waited for us to get into the pool to tell us we couldn't. the diving board sucked, we could only bounce on it one time. I see no point in having a diving board if you're just gonna tell people you can jump one time. the staff couldn't keep their eyes to themselves and they were just overall very rude. They made us very uncomfortable. The front desk lady was also very rude about my friend not wearing a bathing suit, which I get but you could've been nicer about it and not give us an attitude about it, honestly it was just a very bad experience and I most definitely won't be coming back.
