Worden Aquatics

"We have been very happy with Worden for our almost 2 1/2 year old. She has gained so much confidence in the water and is always excited for her lesson. We love that she is learning how to get to the side of the pool and safely get out using the ladder or stairs. We are so grateful that she is getting such a positive introduction to swimming. We have done our lessons with Coach Lauren but all the coaches we have seen seem great, as well. Definitely recommend!"

"I’ll first start by saying that Coach Kyndall was great with our son when lessons actually happened but beyond that, the issues we experienced with Worden Aquatics made it impossible for us to continue enrolling him in lessons. We purchased a 4-pack of private lessons and unfortunately only got to complete 2 of them. Before our first lesson, we were asked to either reschedule at inconvenient times during weekdays, or wait 1-2 months until a teacher would be available again. We had no choice but to wait as my wife and I work full time and can't do weekdays. When we finally started lessons we still faced multiple cancellations and last minute rescheduling by the Worden Aquatics team. It became an absolute headache to get anything to align. The last straw was when we traveled 30 minutes from our home to the facility to find out 5 minutes before our lesson, they had to cancel. We were offered additional lessons as compensation but we declined due to the inconsistency in their schedule. Nothing ever felt locked in and we felt like we were switching our schedules on the fly. This may be due to the facility they host their private lessons at (Boost Fitness). The facility is extremely dated, including the pool, with its heater breaking quite often. All in all, we cut our losses and will be searching for swimming lessons with another teacher and program that will be more reliable."

"I was wanting to be sure my 3 year old learned the importance of respecting water and how to not only swim but also keep herself safe. I had a horrible experience with a swim instructor when I was younger so I do not do well in the water. Because of that, I am not one to be able to teach her these important lessons and skills. I had read some great things about Worden Aquatics so I thought I would try them out. I had done a ton of research prior as this is very important to me. We were SO LUCKY to have gotten Coach Lori as her swim coach. I wasn’t sure how my daughter would do with a person she had never met before because that is just how she is. Let me just say….WOW!!!! Lori was beyond incredible with her! She not only was extremely patient, but she also made it fun! Lori was “meant” to work with children (or anyone needing to learn) because she is AMAZING!! Her patience and calmness showed so much about WHO she is! What really warmed my heart is how bonded my daughter ended up being with her which shouts volume about the trust my daughter felt with her! We all know how important that is when in such a situation!! If you’re n the fence, just DO IT!! This was definitely a success on my decision to try Worden Aquatics!"

"Our 5 year old granddaughter was terrified to even put her face in the water! Because of our own logistics, we could only bring her every other weekend for a lesson, so there were big gaps in between. Even still, 7 lessons later she is SWIMMING! And putting her head under the water! And floating on her back! Photo included to show the smile when she first swam independently. The instructors are great--they are patient and kind but also firm when needed. I highly recommend Worden Aquatics! Best money ever spent."

"Having waited a little longer than I meant to on swim lessons, I was hoping to find a way for my son to "catch up". I am so glad we went with private lessons through Worden. Not only am I seeing great progress in the first month but it has been a positive experience all around. The team is responsive, Lauren is involved and genuinely concerned with new swimmers becoming successful swimmers. My son works with Coach Zach who is patient but also manages to get him to take the next step. Every week, my kiddo is counting down the days to his next lesson. Highly recommend Worden Aquatics if you're looking for this type of experience!"
