Triangle Swim School

I have somewhat mixed feelings about this school. They certainly have some wonderful things going for it (low ratios, convenient location for me, price, and great teachers), however, classes for under 3 is far too full. You literally get maybe 2 mins of the teachers time and the rest is the parent practicing/​working with the child WHILE fighting for room to practice the skills.
Moving up is very difficult as all classes are full and they don’t seem to ever know when there will be openings. I am not talking about openings of those who dis-​enroll, but rather who will move up to another class. Certainly they know the birth date of the enrolled children and what their skill levels are, at least I hope so.
The dressing rooms are far too few for as many as are in the pool. It would be far better to space the different class starting in 15 minute increments to help with the backlog of people needing the few dressing rooms. Not to mention adding more times for lessons if they are fully booked.
It would also be nice to see them instill the value of respect and ensure that children not running. There have been countless times the staff does not say anything. How can you teach safety around a pool when children are allowed to do whatever?
There are 2 very basic bathrooms and I can’t remember how many times I see an unflushed toilet. This is not necessarily the staff’s fault, but more so the fault of the parents, which is probably why the children are running, right?
However, despite a lot of the above issues, this IS a good place for taking lessons and leaps ahead the previous school at this location. Overall staff is outstanding and enthusiastic and most of the kids seem to really enjoy lessons. I have taken the parent/​baby classes at the Rex, and would suggest that for those under 3 and wait until your child is a bit older for this place.

A few months ago when I began searching for a swim school for my almost 2 year old son, I really didn’t know what to expect. After a while of searching, and looking through big schools, smaller schools and private teacher we decided to give Triangle Swim School a try. Now, a little over a month into classes we are thrilled that we did and are certain that we’ve chosen the right place for us.
My son absolutely loves Saturday mornings with Miss Brittany. That’s all I hear about for days after. Also, in just a handful of classes I can see his comfort and confidence in the water starting to grow. He’s even started to put his head under in the bathtub!
Even though TSS is a small school, it’s far nicer than some of the bigger chain schools in the area. The rates are competitive and the quality of learning is at the top.
In short, I highly recommend TSS for swim classes — whether it’s infants, children or even adults!
