Extremely inconsistent with teachers, even with private lessons, and the building is falling apart. If THEY cancel a class on you, which happens a lot, you will have to jump through hoops to schedule the makeup class they cancelled and you already paid for. That's if you get it at all! And don't even bother expecting this place to change a dead light bulb or anything else that's broken. We went for a few years, but more and more all signs point to the fact that they just don't care.
Reading some of these reviews make me chuckle a little bit given the nature of what this service is supposed to be providing. Yes, the swim school is a bit out dated, would it benefit from new carpet or new paint? Sure. But that’s not what I’m paying for. I’m paying for a skill being taught to my daughter that could save her life some day. Not for the carpet, old changing rooms, or old paint. It’s ironic to complain about a swim school being dingy when you’re paying for your child to learn how to swim just to take them to the beach in the summer or water park where both environments could be a lot dirtier. The instructors have been GREAT. And, I see my daughter making improvements almost every session. Yes, there have been delays with being able to reach someone on the phone but from what I’ve seen, that’s usually because the staff that’s responsible for billing or schedules sometimes are also the instructors. I never see these people take breaks or have several days off. I think people need to understand that “hiring more staff” isn’t as simple as just hopping on indeed. You need CERTIFIED swim coaches and teachers, that’s not the same as a young person hopping on a register at Chick Fil A down the street. Those quality employees will always be hard to come by since the average person doesn’t have certificates in swimming or swim coaching.
Do not waste your money here. My son went here for 12 weeks and the only thing he learned was how to play with toy boats in the water. For 6 weeks we paid $300+ for one on one lessons and all that was playing in the water.I’m not kidding. At first we thought they were just trying to get him comfortable in the water, but then we learned there was no structure or curriculum….there are different instructors regularly so there’s no continuity. Even when the same instructor is there back to back, nothing is accomplished because there’s no curriculum. Our son is now in another swim school and it’s nice to see him actually learn how to swim!
Terrible management! Poorly coordinated swim lessons. No idea what skills are being worked on and absolutely no consistency. They would cancel classes due to staffing issues and fail to coordinated make up sessions. The swim coaches are nice and friendly but generally very young and inexperienced. Stay away!
0 stars. This place is horrible. No one answers the phone and their voice mail is full. The place itself is run down. The changing rooms are very poorly lit. My daughter’s swim instructor paid more attention to other swim instructors in the pool than my daughter.
Excellent! 5 Stars! The instructors are thorough. They were very flexible with scheduling to accommodate a busy schedule. My daughter went through the entire program over several years and is now an excellent swimmer. It gives me great peace of mind. Thank you for an EXCELLENT experience!
Had great experience at this place. Just finished our first session and it was the best thing we did this summer. My 4 year old had a wonderful time and improved so much. I can't believe the progress for just $100. She didn't pass level one but she's so much more confident. The place is clean and the staff are young but very friendly. They are definitely willing to talk about the program with you in detail if your a mom like me. I like to know every single detail of what's going on and why. On several occasions i talked with a woman who i'm guessing was the manager and she went beyond by printing me out all sorts of stuff i was able to take with me to work on at family swim. My little girl is all set for the next session. I definitely recommend bringing your kids here.
We have been going to Kids First Perry Hall for a year for both of our children currently 5.5 and 2 years old. While the facility could use a bit of updating, the instruction is invaluable and the staff is absolutely amazing. A few years ago I worked actively as a lifeguard and also taught swimming lessons. We have also gone to two other facilities for swimming lessons. I greatly believe that the curriculum taught in this program is far superior than ANY other program I have observed or taught. My kids have had many different teachers and for the most part, they have all been great. Ms. Emily and Ms. Nancy are definitely their favorites, however Ms. Jasmine and Ms. Alina are up there on the list too! My oldest was scared to death of the water when she first started. Through there wonderful program she has gone from Level 1 through Level 4. She no longer fears the water, has respect for the water and can swim to safety if need be. She now takes the homeschool class and is progressing well. My youngest started the Mommy and Me class a couple of months ago and is progressing nicely. We just recently invested in the Private Lessons because we are amazed how helpful the teachers are and how quickly the kids learn water safety and invaluable skills and have loads of fun!. When I say invest, I mean it. The privates are not cheap but they are definitely worth it. Watching a 2 year old jump in, kick to the top and roll to their back is definitely a comfort for this Mama :
Our kids love the instructors here here. We've never had a bad teacher. Our son 3 has a lot of fear of getting his head wet, but he looks forward to swimming lessons every week. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and lessons are offered at many different times throughout the week.
This place could use some updating and new paint inside. Kind of shabby and other reviews are correct,no one answers the phone. Told the guy at front desk that no toilet paper or paper towels in either bathrooms and we were told he would get to it later, even though he was doing nothing but playing onphone
