Waterloo Swimming

"Our family has been using Waterloo lessons for years now, and our experience continues to be nothing short of outstanding. Coach Leslie has been an integral part of our swimming journey, and her dedication has left a lasting impression on our entire family. Throughout the years, Coach Leslie has consistently demonstrated her exceptional teaching abilities and genuine care for her swimmers. Her deep understanding of each child's unique strengths and areas for improvement has been instrumental in fostering their growth and confidence in the water. What sets Coach Leslie apart is her unwavering commitment to excellence and her ability to make every lesson feel fresh and exciting, even after years of attendance. Her passion for teaching shines through in every interaction, creating a positive and enriching environment for our children to thrive. Under Coach Leslie's guidance, our kids have not only developed strong swimming skills but have also learned valuable life lessons about perseverance, teamwork, and self-discipline. Her patient and encouraging demeanor have empowered them to overcome challenges and strive for continuous improvement. As a family, we couldn't be more grateful for the impact Waterloo swimming lessons and Coach Leslie have had on our lives. Their commitment to excellence and dedication to the success of every student truly sets them apart. Thank you, Coach Leslie, and the entire team at Waterloo, for years of exceptional instruction and unforgettable memories in the water!"

"My son had a wonderful experience at Waterloo! He loves being active but has an autoimmune joint disease so many sports can be challenging for him. He's also in scouts and needed to pass a swim test. The team at Waterloo are gentle and skilled, and they did an amazing job helping him gain stamina and skills-- such a good job that he easily passed the swim test and loves being in the water. We graduated from the program and I couldn't recommend it more."

"All three of my children have attended and loved their lessons at Waterloo on Anderson. We've done private lessons as well as their group classes. The instructors are terrific - especially Isaiah who has coached several of my daughter's classes. My oldest is a strong swimmer now which I fully credit to her time at Waterloo. Highly recommend them."

"All three of my daughters have swam at the Anderson Lane location. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about all of the staff we've interacted with. They are consistently patient and kind, even with my preschooler when she's feeling nervous. Additionally, we have been very happy with the skills they've learned. I highly suggest Waterloo."

"My 8 year old daughter started at Waterloo (Anderson) in January 2023 at the white level. She progressed through the various levels (Orange, Novice I, Novice II, and Intermediate) in about six months and joined Waterloo Otters (summer league swim team) and had a blast! The entire staff have been wonderful and Isaiah (Otters coach) and Preston have been especially exceptional in helping my daughter feel comfortable and develop her love of swimming. She's also enjoyed Cosy, Rachel, Lesley, Margo, and Gal as her teachers. She's now joined a year round swim team to continue developing her skills (we wish Waterloo had a centrally located year round swim team!) and plans on continuing with the Waterloo Otters summer league each summer. We've tried a lot of swim lessons in Austin, including private lessons and several years at Emler, and none of them compare to our experience at Waterloo. It's the first swim program that my daughter was excited to go to each day and inspired her to want to learn more and develop as a swimmer. As a parent, I was only looking for her to be a strong enough swimmer to be safe in the water but her happiness at Waterloo has catapulted her far beyond that goal. I cannot say enough great things about them!"
