As an adult, I want to learn to swim and have been taking group lessons at DuPage. Jim is great and is helping me swim. I am comfortable in water with his lessons - which is very important for adult swim lessons. I hope to be able to swim independently soon! The facility is clean and well managed. The water is a little bit cold but acceptable. Most importantly the water is always clean.

Jim has been a swim instructor for 35 years and I’m blessed to have him as my instructor. He comes with a lot of stories but a lot of wisdom and good tips. In my first class I learn a lot and I’m super excited for my next lesson.

I'd like to start by saying that in my humble opinion, this is a premier facility. Front desk staff is always available to answer any and all of the concerns I've had during my first (and definitely not last) summer sessions. Rescheduling was simple and convenient in the event you are unable to attend a session. Thank you Jackie and staff. The facility itself is clean and well maintained. Locker room is decent but can definitely use an upgrade. Ample parking is a +. The pool itself is always clean and more than enough equipment to go around for larger group classes. During those morbid summer heat wave days, OH SO REFRESHING!!!! As our instructor, Jim and his commitment to properly teach you the correct techniques is hands down impressive. His engagement, patience and encouragement made us feel like we were capable of overcoming our fears and able to conquer the tasks at hand while putting it all together. His encouragement, high fives, humor, easy going demeanor and making us feel SAFE is definitely the reason I personally found the courage to come every week and continue the lessons. Signing up for the fall and beyond was an easy decision to make. Thank you Jim for your years of service in the aquatic community.. Because of you, I have made incredible strides in a short period of time. You have definitely made an impact not only in my life, but the lives of ALL the students before me. I just have one complaint concerning Jim. You never brought in the rare 1933 Double Eagle Gold coin from your collection you were going to have me dive for and if could have gotten it, I would be able to keep it. HaHaHa!!! Here's to you Jim!!!! J. Pagan

I started my beginner swim classes with Jim in the summer of 2024, and WOW—what a journey it’s been! When I say I was a complete beginner, I truly mean it. I couldn’t float, I struggled to blow bubbles underwater, and I had a serious fear of water due to some tough past experiences. Fast forward a few months, and I can confidently say that I feel like a whole new person in the water—and it’s all thanks to Jim! His incredible patience, encouragement, and guidance have helped me build confidence I never thought I’d have. I can now float, swim, and even make it a few feet from the wall on my own! I’m so excited to keep going and continue improving each week. One day, I know I’ll be swimming with dolphins—and I owe this amazing progress to Jim’s support and dedication. If you're looking for a coach who genuinely cares and will cheer you on every step of the way, Jim is the one!

I have been attending group adult swim classes for over a year and it’s changed my life. Jim has guided me to becoming more comfortable in water and the fundamentals of swimming. Great instructor and great facility.
