Kinder Swimmer

My son loved learning to swim here! The warm pool and the experienced teachers and the consistency of teaching really worked on him, as a new swimmer. He loved the slide at the end. We even had a birthday party here and all the kids and parents loved it because it is so warm. I took him to the local high school and he failed the same beginning class five times because of the inconsistency of the young student teachers there. It costs more to go to go to kinder swimmer but you get what you pay for.

Nathan S. and Michelle R. could not be more wrong OR dramatic! If I could give Kinder Swimmer 10 stars I would!
After trying multiple other pools in the area for swim lessons, there was nothing worse than A High school swimming pool that offers poor instruction by under qualified instructors in freezing cold water, parading my wee ones around on some teenagers piggie back instead of teaching them to swim because «they’re cute» while their teeth are chattering and their lips are blue. If that is the kind of instruction and structure your looking for, you won’t find it at Kinder Swimmer. Sorry.
Being an active parent in a very populated PTSA, It’s unanimous with ALL our friends and family, Kinder Swimmer is THE spot! Not only do they offer pools with 92 degree water but their unique float system, you wont see anywhere else, helped all three of my kids learn to swim without allowing them to become overly dependent of their floating device during he short time they needed floats before they quickly moved out of them and started swimming independently. The floats allowed my kids to move their arms freely, yet maintained their safety at all times.
Their one on one teaching style and small class structure is supreme. I have had children in lessons with Kinder Swimmer through all three age groups. My 7 month old has been in the infant class for the last 3 months and her progress and love for the water grows with each lesson. I love being able to get in the pool with her and help build our bond and trust as she grows to love the water more and more with each lesson. My middle daughter who is 7 is now swimming the length of the pool and my son who is 8 participates in the advanced swim class where he has gone beyond acquiring the basic swimming skills but has learned to do the breast stroke, butterfly, backstroke etc. Kinder Swimmer has not only given my kids the ability to swim but confidence in doing so and me the piece of mind and security knowing they are safe and have built great skills in the water. To me, no price tag can be placed on the life skills my kids have attained from being students at Kinder Swimmer.

Not for infants. My daughter loved the water until her first lesson at 8 months old. Tried a second class as to not judge on one day the second class was worse and to top it off the second class had a new instructor and she didn’t know the songs or sequence of things. For $ 18 a class it’s a rip off when I could have done the same thing on my own w/​o submerging my daughter and freaking her out. Their philosophy isn’t about teaching them to get used to the water it’s about throwing them right in w/​o building any kind of trust or reassurance. Very disappointed. The only good thing I can say is the water was warm. I even called to talk with them about what happened and they said they would honor a full refund and they didn’t even send half. That’s just bad business. I have a friend that said water babies is awesome so that’s where I am heading.

We tried the «cheap» route of putting our 3-​year-​old in swim lessons at the local high school. 10 toddlers to 1 high school student instructor? NO THANKS. I felt like I had to literally stand over the pool and make sure she didn’t go under because the instructor didn’t pay attention. Terrifying.
We have been amazed at how quickly our daughter has adjusted to the water at Kinder Swimmer. She didn’t want to be in the water. She went from screaming (literally) and crying her first lesson to now, on her 5^th lesson, loving the water and looking foward to lessons. Miss Emily is amazing. Stern but extremely kind. I felt unsure of how to react to my screaming, flailing child at the first lesson, but she assured me that she’s dealt with kids more terrified than my daughter (I didn’t know that was possible!) and she handled her beautifully without me feeling like I should pull her out of the water. She is NOT afraid of scared kids — and they love her and learn to trust her. There are, max, 5 kids in my daughter’s class and they each get individual attention and Miss Emily makes SURE they know what they are doing and doesn’t just «assembly line» the kids. The pool is intimate, clean, and the facilities are very nice.
We couldn’t be more happy with Kinder Swimmer and would recommend it to anyone, especially if you have a child who doesn’t like the idea of being in the water.
