Turtle Swim

There are not enough lifeguards for 3 pools and 50+ swimming and learning. There were only two lifeguards throughout my daughter’s swimming lesson that are watching 3 pools. They don’t even pay attention! The last day my daughter nearly drowned! Luckily I was watching her and I ran and pulled her out of the pool! I told the lifeguard and her reply was sorry there are a lot of kids here. Exactly and not enough lifeguards that pays attention. I told the supervisor in the office and she just said where was the lifeguard? Exactly! I do have to say instructors seem great but safety is not their priority! First day is chaotic with everyone in the kids pool and testing them has no rhyme and reason how your child is placed into a level. I do not recommend Turtle swim go to YMCA where safety comes first!

Southwestern College offers Turtle Swim Lessons for the children. 8 sessions for two weeks at $ 88 per child. 45 minutes in length. My kids loved it! It was amazing how fast they learned. The ratio was one instructor to 2 children, so they definitely got the one-​on-​one instruction. By the end of the session they were jumping off the high diving board into a 12 feet deep pool! It was important to me to have my kids learn how to swim, and I’m so glad they have this program available!
