Reviews of Kinder Swimmer - Spanaway
"I feel compelled to review this swim school after being on vacation with my 4 year old and swimming every day for a week. Literally every single day my son has had people clap for him after he has swam a full lap across the pool, comment on his comfort with the water and incredible swimming skill, and ask where he is taking lessons. As parents we couldn’t be more thrilled that we are at the pool with our 4 year old and having fun with him in the water, playing games. While we are watchful and careful and always near him we are not afraid for his safety. In class he learns specific swim strokes and jumps in the pool and practices self rescue. On vacation he will start with a formal swim stroke with good form then stop using his arms and just cruise around with his head down in the water, arms trailing behind him, with his feet kicking like a little motor. He is so comfortable in the water. While he has never been taught to dive down to the bottom of the pool he figured out how to bend his body downwards and use his arms to pull himself to the bottom of the pool to retrieve diving rings and other toys. I can’t tell you how many parents have commented on his swimming skill. I decided to write this review after reading a review that critiqued the safety practices of Kinderswimmer. Specifically leaving a two year old unattended on the side of the pool. The pool is the size of a standard home swimming pool, not a lap swimming pool or a high school pool. There are chairs and benches on three sides of the pool. The fourth side is too close to a wall for chairs so they have little foldable stools available for parents to sit on. There is one instructor in the water with up to 4 students in the class. There have been many times my son was the only person in the class and has had a private lesson. The class format is that the teacher swims across the pool with each student in turn, leaving them on the side of the pool where they ended. They continue this rotation until every child has practiced all the swim strokes at which point the kids all go to the deep end to practice jumping in and self rescue. Babies don’t do this part, they do a different skill with the instructor holding them in the shallow end. This format of one teacher with four students receiving one-on-one personal attention means that 3 students are left without an instructor by their side at any given time. I have been at this pool enough to know that this is handled safely. The instructor requests that parents move from side to side with babies or children that can’t be left alone. Parents can sit on a chair or stool on each side of the pool and sit with a child who is out of the pool when the instructor isn’t with them. Parents are also welcome to be in the pool with their baby or child who doesn’t have swimming skills. I have seen many parents (sometimes even two parents) be in the pool with their babies/young children playing with them and practicing skills with them while the instructor is with another child. Older kids who have skills are instructed to hold on to the edge of the pool while the instructor is with another student. If the teacher or lifeguard catches them letting go of the edge they are reminded that they need to hold on. Usually older kids only need one reminder and most parents just move to sit next to their kids if they are having a hard time following instructions that day. It is also worth noting that kids start off by wearing belts with foam rectangles and swimming back and forth across the shallow end of the pool. This means in between laps they are waiting in the shallow end and have some sort of floatation on their body. As students demonstrate an ability to swim and self rescue the number of foam rectangles are reduced until they aren’t wearing any. Once a student can swim all of the strokes and doesn’t need a belt with foam they can start to swim the long length of the pool and wait their turn in the deep end. It’s an amazing school, their results speak for their themselves."
"Daughter loves her swimming class. She looks forward to going every week. Her “teacher zeza” is amazing. She’s great with kids and works patiently with all the kids in the class. Would definitely recommend!!!"
"We have 2 daughters (ages 3 & 4 years), and they absolutely LOVE their swim lessons with Kyleigh & Zeza at the Spanaway pool!! I think my younger one was actually afraid of the water before we started taking them for lessons back in September. Now they both get SO excited to "go to swimming". I really appreciate how Kyleigh makes their lessons fun but still challenges them to try something more. My girls seemed to click with both Kyleigh & Zeza from day one. Also, my 4 year old has sensory processing disorder and I've seen such a huge improvement in her over these last several months too -- following directions, gross motor movement/ coordination. So glad we found Kinder Swimmer and definitely recommend them for kids lessons."
"Zesa is the best instructor, she really has a passion and loves what she does and it shows throughout her lessons with each child. We're so happy with the progress our son is making at Kinder Swimmer."
"My daughter has taken lessons with Miss Amanda for a few months now. I cannot recommend her enough. She's patient when she needs to be, but also pushes them when they need to have that extra push. She is truly wonderful, we had no luck with other swim lessons until we switched to Kinder Swimmer and Miss Amanda."
