The swim lesson instructor was great. She was very patient and attentive to the kids.
Love it, great program, great instructors
My son loves swimming more than anything in the world. He thrives under the coaching staff at GCY, looks forward to every single practice and meet, and always says that the coaches are his favorite thing about swimming, in particular Coach Scott, who has been patiently coaching him for many years now, and Coach Joann, who he admires for her own achievements as a master's swimmer. I am hopeful that the recent leadership changes on the team will result in better/more timely communication re: meets and practices/times/locations, and even perhaps some emphasis on improving camaraderie among our families such as a parent email list or better communication that will allow us to pursue carpools and arrange to have dinner after certain meets, or team meetings that include the parents where we can learn about the sport of swimming/its organizational structure, proper nutrition for the kids, and how to incorporate strength training or stretching into their overall regimen, things that the kids might hear from the coaching but which we might be able to help reinforce at home. I'm also hopeful that practice group requirements will be enforced so that the kids can train appropriately without being held back for less experienced swimmers, or risking injury from overtraining. There is a lot of room for improvement in team communication, but I have high hopes that it's going to improve in the coming months. Scott and Cynthia seem like they're a great team already.
We love the homeschool swim. Great pace, and we loved Coach Brad. The other instructors are pretty good too.
I love our coaches! They are informative, communicate well, and develop great individuals not just great swimmers!
Tons of times offered. Excellent coaching.
I like that it gets the kids outside running and having fun!
The swim class (stage A) was a wonderful experience! The small class size, warm pool, kind & fun instructor, and class materials helped my little one year old to enjoy his first swimming experiences! He grew in his skills from the first to last class and we met some other great families through this program. We will be coming back for stage B!
My children really enjoy the swim team!
The team is very welcoming. The varying skill levels allow for challenges to motivate.
