Foss Swim School

Decent place, feels a little rushed but my 4 year old likes it a lot plus is good for him to learn how to swim. It gets busy inside and is very warm too, you better go there in shorts and flip flops:)

Some kids swim like a fish while others sink like a stone. My son falls into the latter category. We took a look at a few different options and determined that the most convenient venue would be Foss.
I was impressed with the professionalism of the operation. Most swim schools are run like a fraternity house.
The classes were plentiful and the instruction was top-​notch. We’ve been through every leveled class at Foss and we’ve never had a bad instructor.
A couple of things that could improve:
The assessment process is a little capricious. There’s a teenager with a waterproof clipboard who watches the kids for a couple of minutes and then tells you that your son is «not quite ready to move on». Seems like there must be a better way (like me bribing the owners to accelerate the kid, which has to be cheaper than paying for a repeat class).
The prices are significantly higher than the competition. You do get better instruction and a more personalized experience, though. I asked my 5 year old if he’d rather go to college or learn to swim. He selected swimming. The way I see it, the world needs ditch diggers… who can swim really well.
Overall, I recommend Foss. But, be ready to take out a second mortgage.

My son took his 1^st swimming lessons here when he was just 8 months old, and it was wonderful! The «Backfloat Baby» classes are excellent (so far my son has completed Levels 1 & 2). Both the child & parent are in the water together, and each week the activities in class are exactly the same so the kids learn the routine. The teachers are excellent with the little one’s, and the class size is just perfect — roughly 5 kids per 1 instructer. Oh and the water is 91 degrees — so nice & warm!
