Community Testimonials

  • My Children (ages 2 & 5) Have been taking swim lessons at Mt. Carmel High School periodically for over a year now. We love the Aquatics Supervisor, and all of the swim instructors. They work on proper technique while also making the lessons fun. I love the fact that there are so many sessions offered, including after school spring and fall sessions as well as so many summer sessions. And the kids love the warm water (close to 90 degrees most days). We have taken swim lessons at all the local pools, and we continue to return to the Mt. Carmel High School program.

  • My Kids, age 4 and 6, attended swim lessons here at Mount Carmel last year and are back again this year. The water is warm and the instructors are really trained and great with the kids! They look forward to their lessons and are really improving their strokes.

  • My son, Robert, just finished his first week of swim lessons and he cannot say enough good things about his instructor. I work during the day, so I have not had the pleasure to see firsthand what he has learned so far (I'm excited about swimming at home tomorrow). Thank you so much for this wonderful program, this is a life lesson that will open a lot of doors for my son. He was a little slow getting up this morning, but once I said he wouldn't be able to go to his lesson he shot right out of bed :) Gotta love that!

    I will be there tonight to enroll him into the Aug 11th-15th class and would like to request his same instructor again if possible. If I don't hear back from you by 4pm today, I will see you this evening. Thank you.

    Kindest regards,

  • I just want to let you know that my sons Kian, 9, and Keivon, 5, really enjoyed their summer swim lessons at your pool. The best part of it all was that the instructors were well prepared and friendly and did not always play it safe! Instead they would let the kids grow and be independent. For example, Trevor, took my son and the other 5 year olds to the big pool and let them jump in from the diving board. My son loved it and he showed me that he could swim without any help (or a life jacket) and make it to the wall. He was very proud of this achievement. My older son loved having his teacher. Because he would make the class fun for them. Keep up the great work!

    Thanks,

  • hi! We have had our 4 year old and 2 year old enrolled in the Mt. Carmel High School swimming lessons program since last August!! We thought that we would just do the summer, but now it is December 1 and we are still going!! We just love this program!! Our four year old is not only swimming by himself now, but doing jumps off the teacher's shoulders and under water flips!! Both of our kids LOVE going!!! The teachers and supervisors are the best!!!! They are very professional and teach great skills while at the same time being on the kids level and making it fun!!I highly recommend this program to everyone!!

  • "My kids would barely put their faces in the water and after only two weeks my kids feel confident in the water. The class exceeded my expectations. My child's instructor was wonderful. Very positive and connected well with the kids. Thanks MCHS Aquatics!

  • "Compared to other swim programs in the area MCHS has an awesome format that is effective for improving skill level and you can't beat the price. I put two daughters in the program and they can't wait to come back."
