Easier way to do makeups and visibility of scheduled lessons in the app. Otherwise it's great

During today's lesson nothing was practiced or taught, and the kids were told next week they may play again. I am paying for swim lessons not free time in the pool. My daughter will never advance if form and technique are not taught.

Poor communication. No information by the front desk in person and no answer to emails sent to the address front desk indicated to contact.

The best decision I’ve made ! All instructors are caring and make

Professors rotate too much, after they stabilized, i do not see structure or consistency when kids struggle, they walk around the pull and shout. Very little on the water explaining. Week over week the same thing. I maintain the kid going and consistency but frankly see zero progress. Would i stay long term. Doubtful.

My son loves the Piranhas swim classes every Sunday with Coach James and swim teachers

there is lack of structure in the parent and me swim class, truly just feels like open swim vs. any actual lessons/ skills being taught. level 2 swim class is constantly changing instructors, which hinders my sons ability to feel comfortable and build upon skills. the lack of consistency seems to cause him to reset each lesson and we haven't seen much progression in his swim skills.

I like the classes and every instructor and staff member that we come in contact with is very friendly.

Our swim instructor, Kara. She's personable, professional and knowledgeable. She took my daughter from being afraid of water to jumping in on the deep end within a few months.

My 4-year-old daughter has taken swim lessons at three other locations and never really wanted to go. Mr. Unique and Miss Erika are the only instructors she's had who she truly looks forward to seeing. Thanks to them, she's more confident in the water and is finally making real improvements. We couldn't be happier.

Coach James has been a wonderful force in creating a cohesive team that our kids want to participate in, and they've learned to work hard and have fun. Our family is thankful to have him at the head of the swim team.

Great experience! Swim teacher Beth is very attentive and Emma felt immediately comfortable with her.

It was a wonderful session

Communication to all members while scheduling changes. Offer more family swimming time when school is closed.

Help kids even when they're falling behind

I'm satisfied with the service and the communication is great!

Mr Unique and Eric are excellent instructors that keep kids engaged and make lessons fun while learning! Especially love the relays and friendy competition that Mr. Unique weaves into level 6 classes

Good, I recommend it for you

My kids enjoy coming to swimming lessons. Their instructors are knowledgeable and helpful. The pool is always clean.

The staff and coordinators

My son loves his swim lessons with Mr unique and miss Kelly. They go above and beyond making each child feel safe and special while teaching valuable water skills

I appreciated one on one attention my daughter got , and positive reinforcement to swim

Cost

What I like about my family's West Essex YMCA Aquatics experience is this: the water is clean and kept at a comfortable temperature. The swim lessons for all my children have helped them enjoy the pool more safely as their swimming skills improve. And the aquatics staff are always wonderful to engage with for all things aquatic.

The staff is amazing, they are helping my son to be a good swimmer!
