Update 6/29: I have been taking my 7 yr old and 5 yr old to swim lessons with Coach Jay and have been very pleased with the classes. Coach Jay... read more is a perfect balance of fun and tough. We have taken some lessons with other companies in Wichita and felt like they were a waste of money, but the kids are learning how to swim and they are enjoying it! Coach Jay has also worked with us when we have conflicts, which has been so helpful! I am getting ready to sign them up for another round of lessons, as they have now moved up to the Lionfish level. Excited to see the progress they will make with Coach Jay in the next few months!
My kids have enjoyed swim lessons with Miss Della. I feel like they are getting very comfortable in the water and they are learning how to swim. Miss Della pushes them and encourages them! I plan to keep taking them here.
