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.

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!

But the moment that got me? My son now jumps into the pool without a second thought because he knows Michaela will catch him. Like, that's not just swimming progress, that's trust. He asks to go to class. He smiles the whole time. If you're looking for an instructor who genuinely connects with kids, Michaela is your person!

Overall, I am satisfied with our experience here, but there are pros and cons to keep in mind. Pros: - Some teachers are excellent. - With kids that have water fears or are struggling, there is a secondary teacher that steps in to help. - Teachers are typically patient and compassionate. - Strong curriculum. - Generous makeup policy for missed classes. - Clean pool Cons: - Very expensive - 4 students to 1 teacher ratio for only 30 minute class time. - I have to follow up constantly with staff on evaluations and determining whether she's ready to move up a level. I wish they'd be more proactive about this. - Crowded waiting + changing rooms. - Difficult to get in touch with (no one answers the phone here).

We were both beginners but they treated us with care and made us feel super comfortable in the water and didn't make us do anything we weren't prepared for.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would for the simple fact of very terrible management. I was a…read moreteacher here for a little while I thought it was cool at first until I got to see what the workspace was really like. The management on the swim side is very unprofessional and not very comprehensive at all. If you are a POC I highly suggest looking for employment elsewhere, to me it seemed I was always delegated the tasks the managers just didn't want to do themselves because of entitlement. Not a good work environment for women of color because it seems they want to be the only ones in my opinion, Analysia Acosta & Natasha Iverson need to be replaced for better management and a better work experience for anyone looking to join this "team". I really hope this review saves sometime time energy & effort!

Best investment I've ever made - twice. Both my boys have gone through intensive summer swim…read moreprograms with ISR Austin with Michelle. Every day for 10 mins over about 6 weeks. It's a commitment for sure but worth it for peace of mind should your kid find themselves in a dangerous water situation. Michelle is gentle with the children and puts them at ease immediately. Michelle gains their trust and helps them work on believing in themselves and their abilities. She works with each unique kid and I feel lucky to have caught the end of lessons with other kids ranging from baby age (amazing watching them orientate themselves and float solo) as well as older kids. Worth every dime when I see my 6 and 3 year olds able to jump in the water, swim and float by themselves, get themselves to the side of the pool when necessary and out for safety.

We have an in-ground pool at our home and while we take as many precautions as possible, we know it's possible that he could get in the water (here or somewhere else) without someone noticing.

Review I'm not…read moregoing to say this class worked, because it did not. Out of the nine kids in the class, the only ones successfully able to go across the pool and get themselves out of the water, were two kids, ages 6 and up. None of the other kids could get from the point of entry in the water, to the stairs on their own. In addition, about 25% of the class was still crying on day 5. I don't believe it is success if 80% are being assisted in the water on day 5, and 40% of the class is still screaming. My child included. After being tossed into the pool and submerged under water over and over, it did not "click" for my children. While this class is sold as teaching your kid to survive, and getting themselves out of the pool, there were zero times my two children were able to do so without the teacher's help. While her website states, "some children may need more than one session due to motor skill development," i don't think the majority of our class's inability to grasp this skill was due to their motor skill development. I write this review to encourage parents to think of their child's temperament and previous water experience before signing up. They will be thrown into the water, by you, over and over, and they will be forced to be submerged by the teacher. And they will scream. My children did not take kindly to this. I had to ask my husband to take off work on the second day to assist me in maintaining my sanity in the class. Keeping a positive persona to my children, while enduring screaming all around, while also, being responsible for ensuring my kids exited the pool, was not a one woman job. This is NOT a skills class. The fundamentals of kicking and holding your breath are not covered. It was after my two year old inhaled so much water over and over that she belched repeatedly to the point of almost vomiting, that I realized I needed to do the instruction myself. Maybe that was on me, I'll take that. It was also after Ms. Cathy repeatedly yelled "kick" at the kids and no one did, that I realized, oh I have to teach my kids that on my own. Happy to do so. But why did I pay $450 to realize I had to do all the basics in order for this class to "work?" Parents, know what you're getting into. If your child has little experience swimming, and all they've ever done is play in the shallow end of a pool, it will behoove your sanity to work on kicking and breathing A LOT before doing this class.
