"2014-05-15T00:00:00"^^ . "We are new to the area from the Midwest and swimming lessons were a high priority on our list since we now have a pool in our backyard. KCSC was recommended to us by our realtor and she warned us that we would either love it or not be a fan. Water and safety are two things that you don't want to mess around with, and I wanted to find an instructor that felt the same way. Growing up, I remember that my swim teachers were strict, stern, and assertive. This is exactly what Kim Courtney and her group provide. We are only two lessons in to our session (sessions run 4 weeks) and I am very happy with the lessons so far. My 3 year old can be a bit of a goofball, and Kim and her instructors won't tolerate it. They help him focus and are working on tasks like proper breathing and stroke work, along with getting himself to the edge of the pool. You can tell that the staff care about the kids, but they are there to teach them to swim... not to blow bubbles and play on the steps in half hour increments. \n\nThe set up is a pool and small guest house/office that is on a residential property. There is a big sign out front and a large area for parking towards the back. There are two main areas where parents and siblings can sit during lessons. Both have comfy seats and shade. \n\nWe have chosen to start with private lessons, which run around $325 for 4 weeks - and you go two days per week. They also provide a \"crash course\" structure where you can attend for 2 weeks at 4 days a week (I think). They also offer group lessons. And the structure here is similar to other places... You child will spend some time on the steps while the other children have a turn. Just something to keep in mind in the event that you want a full 30 minutes focused on your own kid - you might want to try the private lesson route. \n\nIf you are ready for your kid to get down to business when it comes to swimming and are looking for a no nonsense approach, KCSC might be a good match for you. If you are looking for someplace that will cater to your child and provide more coddling, this might not be a good fit."^^ . "4"^^ . "5"^^ . . "1"^^ . "0"^^ . . .
