Member Testimonials
The staff went above and beyond to fit our 4 kiddos into swim lessons as soon as possible, and made sure that my older kids who cant swim were in a class and being taught with a older group which gives them the dignity and respect they needed compared to if we had put the older teens into a young kid class. They are thriving and my oldest asd girl is actually trying which is huge! Water safety is so important and they have done so much to help. We LOVE the coaches. They actually make everyone participate and work on swimming techniques as opposed to just sitting around and talking or letting the kids rule the lessons. So worth the money and time spent to get them there every week. Very impressed.
I like that you have partnered with the city so we can access swimming lessons even when we are not a member

Great pool
Glad to see the hours better for laps
Caring staff, high quality programs and welcoming environment!
I only use the pool area, however the times of lane/rec swim work well for me
Like that children can try different activities and it not being competitive like some other after school sports. So children can actually learn new things
The staff is always friendly and available to help if you need assistance. I also might add that the pool spruce up is very nice. The fact that the pool hours have been extended somewhat is a welcome change too.
