KIDS FIRST Swim School - Frederick

"Don’t take your child here! The website looks great and I almost went for it, until I visited the facilities. You can see the pool from inside the mall, and it is very unkept. There are rusty poles and it just screams I will need a Tetanus shot after visiting."

"We had a great time, loved that they were mommy daddy and me classes! We were enrolled at another school and chose the classes because of this! Make sure you are a bit early for the classes, dressed and ready to get in the pool. The classes promptly start and end at their respective end time. If I had any suggestion it would be that they had a buffer between classes so that you’re not trying to hurry into the pool as people are hurrying out. Other then that the instructors are great and we knew what to expect right away."

"We had a birthday party at this establishment and not only were the facilities run down, with holes in the drywall but the staff was also rude. We were not greeted when we arrived and the party timeline expectations were never discussed. We arrived 15 minutes early to set up. The front office staff asked my named and told me the remainder of the bill that was due. I had to ask where to set up for the party. After setting up we headed to the pool. A woman came out and yelled to us that our party hadn't started yet and to get out of the water. (It was 5 minutes early).About 30 minutes into the party we got out to have some refreshments and again the lady came over to us and said we only had 30 minutes left of pool time. This was unknown to me, having thought we had the pool for the full 2 hour party. During our swim time the water was tested by a staff member and she began dumping chemicals in the pool. Then when we left neither of the staff at the counter acknowledged us by saying goodbye or thank you. If I would have know this is the experience we would have had, I never would have booked a party there."

"I swam there when I was a little kid and it was the most fun I ever had when I was around 11 I joined their swim team I had a lot of fu and learned a lot eventually I got to advanced for kids first. I joined the winter swim team FAST and now I swim competitively all the time I could not have done it without kids first swim. I am going to work there as soon as I get my work permit. Thank u for listening"

"Kids First Swim School in Frederick, MD is SO WONDERFUL! My kids are neurominority, and they did EVERYTHING right for them. We’re moving on to a team, but if that doesn’t work out, we will DEFINITELY be back for theirs. We are so happy to have found this safe, nurturing place for ALL kids to enjoy the water safely. The facility is a bit run down, but once they finish the fix-up they started, I have no doubt it’ll be a 5-star facility, and so we’re going with that since I can’t figure out half-stars and they are definitely better than 4 stars as-is. Thanks to all the teachers and staff!!! The kids miss you already!"
