Kinder Swimmer

I prepaid for two children to get lessons here for two weeks. one day when my aunt took the kids they both came back with injuries. One came back with a busted up nose and a black eye, and the other had scratches all over his chest from the bottom of the pool. So for 40 bucks a lesson per kid I was pretty upset. The owner didn't seem to be to worried about the fact that the only two kids in a private lesson had been hurt. Then after I canceled my lessons I received a phone call a few months later asking me to pay 680 bucks for the lessons my children never took. I kindly asked her to check her books, saying I had dropped the classes after my children were injured. She said there was nothing written anywhere about my kids being hurt. The whole thing was really shady. One of my kids could have been seriously injured because no one was properly monitoring the kids in the water. I was not impressed.

This is an amazing place for kids to learn how to swim and progress, their former swimming skills, the teachers and staff are kind, amazing people that your kids will grow to love definitely recommend this place.

Very personable staff
Great price and amazing location

Summer is the best !! She's a great instructor and leader inside the pool.

She has the ability to connect with the kids and teach great swimming skills!

We love this place and will continue to recommend

My kids have loved learning to swim at Kinder Swimmer. We have been attending for over 3 years now. My daughter, who is 9, is now in the advanced class and has learned 7 different strokes. My son, who is 5, can now swim the length of the of the pool and his instructor is currently working on confidence with him.

Both of my kids have had Summer as a swim instructor since the beginning and love her so much. Both look forward to swim class every week and Summer is the number 1 reason for this.

Having this place right in your backyard is great! So all in all I was sold on the location. The pool itself is heated which makes it an enjoyable for your child to want to learn instead of focusing on how cold and uncomfortable they are. Having smaller classes helps little ones get more one on one time with the instructor. Miss Alexis, an instructor at Kinder Swimmer and is great with the children. Even when they are not feeling the swimming bug that day, she eases them him and makes it more enjoyable.

My daughter has been consistently swimming with KinderSwimmer since she was 2.5 yo and she is now 8 yo. We love it there! The heated pool is a definite plus with our PNW weather, especially when we have cool or cold evening classes.

The class sizes are small (usually 3-5 students) enough that every swimmer gets valuable and constructive feedback. My daughter has enjoyed her weekly lessons with all of her teachers! They have built her confidence in the water so much so that I don't worry about her when she is swimming (with a lifeguard present). She has progressed to learning all the swim strokes and is working each week to improve on them. She can tread water for over 5 minutes and is like a fish underwater.

The instructors give good one-on-one feedback and always put safety first. Summer is one of our favorites! Always positive and smiling but firm when she needs to be.

I'm so thankful we found KinderSwimmer. Don't hesitate and try out a class!

DO NOT TRUST THE "KINDERSWIM IS SO GREAT" REVIEWS NOR THE WEBSITE; here's why.
Our first session, we were running late. When we walked in, the swim instructor didn't look up nor say hi. We had to put the floating foam bricks on our kids. We had no idea how they were supposed to go, and after a few min of struggling, the instructor reluctantly said we did it wrong but STILL did not proceed to help. If you don't know how to hook them correctly, it could cost your child their life OR ruin your clothes from jumping in to save them.

In a 30 min session, the instructor worked with my child for a total of 5 min. My child will never learn how to swim at this rate. Moreover, she has her back turned to BABIES clear across the pool while she works with other kids. Again, it makes the difference between your kid's life or your ruined clothing.

Furthermore, rule of thumb; if you don't hold on to your child or help them in and out of the pool, THEY WILL DROWN because the instructor is literally ZERO HELP!

Shame on kinderswim for running a hazardous swim school with non-caring instructors who clearly are only there for a check and owners who are trying to pay their mortgage with no regard for anything else.

Ps. You can't shower your child there...unless they like cold showers.

Started swim lessons for my 3 year old at the beginning of this year. She's making great progress and getting comfortable with the water, all thanks to miss megan. She is super patient and kind- would highly recommend!

We signed up my 5 year old son for swimming lessons in late September and they canceled classes 3 times out of 6 week period. They didn't notify us until last min and one time did not let us know until after we showed up to class. They also didn't respond to any emails i sent regarding getting a refund for the canceled classes. Stay away from this place

My 2 year-old toddler screamed bloody murder for most of class. There were no songs, no toys and no attempt to make the class enjoyable. The teacher essentially just made her do various lessons while holding her. She told her to "run" to get to mommy. She wasn't animated or fun. My child was scared and didn't understand. We left after 10 minutes. The teacher told me she's probably just tired and teething! Haha. What a joke. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt that she'd be good with older kids. Also, it's an older pool at a private residence. We weren't even asked to shower before we got in. It felt run down. We were the only ones in class and now I see why.

My daughter started here 6 months ago and has become a strong swimmer since. It's an amazing place! She started out in the intro class and within 3 months was switched to advanced. All the instructors are amazing! We most recently had Miss Maggie and she was INCREDIBLE. Each week she gave my daughter corrections and tips (and lots of praise!) of how to improve all strokes and types of swimming. SO impressed. LOVE them!
