Foss Swim School - Ankeny

"Helped my son maneuver his fear of water while advancing to various levels. The techniques used also teach water safety and boundaries. I am so happy that I trusted FOSS with my son's swimming needs. Having lost a child via drowning, it was important that water safety was a core factor in his lessons. I would recommend FOSS to anyone looking to help their children in the water."

"This location is clean and convenient. However, there is not much instruction during class, they say things such as “kick” but don’t teach proper technique or help the child improve. The parent/baby lessons are overcrowded and with the small area, there isn’t much room to move. Finally, make-up lessons are always on the same day each month, so if you have other activities it is difficult to take advantage of lessons you miss."

"Foss has been great! All of the teachers we have had have been wonderful and very patient with my boys. Both were very hesitant with anything to do with water, but they have come so far with the help of the wonderful Foss teachers. Highly recommend!"

"We’ve had a great experience at Foss! My child improved her swim skills after just a few lessons and has increased confidence in the water. This is the first time she’s been excited to be in the water and has a lot less fear. The teachers do a great job communicating, too!"

"We signed our children up for the 4 week camp and we were beyond thrilled with the results! The facility is immaculate, staff is present and ready to assist at all times. Teachers were sensitive and discerning to our children's capabilities and comfort levels in the water. One of our boys went in with a fear of water and finished the 4 weeks sad to be done... he enjoyed it so much! We will definitely be looking into furthering their swim education with Foss! 5 stars all the way!"
