“As our children have gotten older, we have been to numerous swim schools
(3 in all), and Waterworks Aquatics is by far, the most SUPERIOR swim school we've attended.
The facility is OUTSTANDING with its multiple pools to accommodate all ages
(we should have started with them 5 years ago--I wouldn't have had to change schools)
from infants to adults. The numerous shower stalls available to rinse off and change
(privately) are an added bonus. The monthly swim meets are a lot of fun, and I
am always amazed at how such young children can swim with so much skill, not to mention
the older children who are equally impressive. But most important, the teachers are
EXCELLENT (many of them still swim competitively) and the office staff is
AWESOME--personable, warm, friendly and accommodating to our needs.
My son insisted for so long that he cannot float on his back ("because [he'll] sink")
but with gentle persuasion and positive reinforcement from the teachers AND the staff,
not only is he floating, he's on top of the world! I started taking my kids to swim
school years ago with the intent to "just get them water-safe." After a year and a
half at Waterworks, I continue to go week after week because my kids simply LOVE
IT and watching them...so do I.”

“My daughter has been taking lessons at Waterworks for about 2 1/2 months.
She has taken lessons at other places and actually acquired bad habits, which was
corrected once she started her lessons here. If you really want your child to
learn the correct form and strokes, this is the place. Another thing I love is
that you can choose your instructor that matches your child's personality. All
the instructors seem very well trained, but each one has a distinct way of
teaching. My daughter started with one instructor who was highly recommended
to me by a friend, but after few lessons, I realized that although she was a
great instructor, she didn't match very well with my child. They were very nice
about matching her with a new instructor and she's been excelling with her new
instructor. He's very sensitive to her needs, yet teaches her all the things
she needs to know to improve her strokes. She loves her instructor and she can't
wait to get into the team. I'm really glad that I found a sport that my daughter
really loves. Thank you Waterworks!”

“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Waterworks
Aquatics and how happy of a customer we are. We have tried one other
swim school and toured another as well before learning about Waterworks.
Waterworks is far better for several reasons: the consistency and method
of teaching, the quality of teaching, the warm water, the ease and options
of scheduling, the large and clean facility, the patience of the teachers,
the shower/changing rooms, and much more. Most importantly, you can tell
each teacher is definitely handpicked and trained to teach kids to ease
the fear they initially have about water. We have been taking lessons
for a little over 2 years at Waterworks. My child is only 3 years old and
is completely water safe in a pool!”

“My 8 year old daughter has taken 6 weeks of stroke clinic classes this summer and we have seen
remarkable improvement. I had no idea she would be swimming with such confidence so quickly.
She really loves coming to swimming and is begging us to continue throughout the year. Her
instructors have been very supportive and encouraging while providing excellent instruction.
Additionally, the staff at Waterworks has been so helpful and accommodating. They have been a
pleasure to work with. I’m impressed that everyone is so organized and professional. Our
experience has been fantastic. –Thank you!”

“At the age of 57, I decided that it was time to take swimming lessions.
I have been taking water aerobics classes here, but was afraid to be in the deep
end of the pool or put my face in the water. Now, after 6 lessions, I can swim
with my face in the water, roll over to a floating position and exercise in the
deep end of the pool. My instructor understood my fears and her knowledge, dedication
and commitment to me proved that learning is possible with the right teacher. The facility
prides itself on having a clean environment with showers, changing rooms,lounge
chairs in both their indoor and outdoor areas. Waterworks Aquatics is the perfect
place to learn, swim, exercise and have fun doing it. ”

“WOW!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO TRINA. She is absolutely correct.
I not only take the Water Aerobics Class on Mon & Wed with her, but
I also work with her every day. Since her lessons at Waterworks,
her teachers and the staff continue to encourage and uplift her.
I have seen such a change in her. THANK YOU to all the wonderful
staff that make up that center. You make it a delight to come and
exercise.

“We have been taking private lessons at Waterworks
Aquatics twice a week since June 2004. Our daughter Kaitlin
was 4 years old when she started lessons and could not swim
at all. Through her instructor’s combination of focus,
discipline, and humor, she is now swimming freestyle, backstroke,
and breaststroke. We appreciate the professionally managed
operations of the entire facility and like the family-friendly
amenities: from the family lounge to the snack bar, to the
indoor covered pool and outdoor Jr. Olympic pool. We have
tried many swimming schools and instructors in the area but
felt most at home with Waterworks Aquatics.”

“My child has been taking lessons at Waterworks
Aquatics since the doors opened last year. She was 2 ½
at the time. She went from screaming and crying to loving
the water. Her instructor is compassionate and very thorough.
Through her guidance, my child has learned confidence and
almost can swim by herself. Waterworks Aquatics is close to
my home and always has new swim ideas and great equipment.
The staff tries to accommodate each person’s needs.”

“My children have been taking lessons for a year and
they love it. Within 3 lessons, they made a lot of progress
now they are great swimmers! Waterworks Aquatics is clean
and inviting and the instructors are patient and personable
with each child. My children especially love the warm water.
It is always difficult to get them out of the pool because
they love it here.“

“ My son has been taking swimming lessons since he was
2 years old – he is now 3. The progress he has made
has been amazing. He went from not putting his face in the
water to diving for rings. We have been with our instructor
for about 6 months and her gentle yet firm approach in the
private lessons has made my son excited about coming to swim
with her. I have always found Waterworks Aquatics a fun, friendly,
and clean environment. It is a place both parent and child
can enjoy!“

“My daughter Nicole has been taking lessons
since June 2004 and has progressed steadily with every lesson.
She had never learned how to swim before so at first, she
was apprehensive until her instructor guided her through every
lesson. I highly recommend the instructors and the school
to parents who are serious about their children learning how
to swim using proper techniques in a clean, safe environment.”

“My son Alex has been taking lessons at Waterworks
Aquatics since November 2004. Alex’s stroke has improved
since he began taking lessons here. I like the observation
room at Waterworks Aquatics, where I can stay with my infant
while Alex is in swim lessons or on the swim team. I like
the swim team here at Waterworks Aquatics because there is
no pressure for the kids to participate in the swim meets.
Alex’s instructor has been great at focusing on Alex’s
strokes and the swim team coach, really spends time getting
to know the kids on the swim team.”

“My child has been taking lessons at this facility
since it opened. He was very timid in the water and cried
at times. Now I have to fight to get him out of the pool.
He is very close to swimming on his own. My son is now confident
in the water.”

“My child has been attending Waterworks Aquatics
since June 2004. Her skill level has improved dramatically
as well as her confidence level and love for the water. Her
instructor has proven to be caring and fun and he has the
right balance of structure and flexibility. The facility and
warm water make this swim school a great year-round option.
I have referred many of my friends to Waterworks Aquatics.”
