What are people saying (AI review summary)? SwimSRQ receives mixed reviews, with many customers highly commending the intensive courses and individual instructors like Mrs. Ashley, Katelynn, and Anna for their patience, encouragement, and effectiveness in teaching children to swim, float, and gain confidence in the water. Parents frequently report rapid progress, even for children initially fearful of water. However, there are significant criticisms, particularly concerning the Lakewood Ranch (LWR) location and the company's policies regarding special needs children. Negative experiences highlight a lack of routine and structure, unannounced instructor changes, mid-lesson disruptions, and restrictive bathroom policies, which reportedly caused trauma for one special needs child. The company's refund policy, offering only make-up classes with different instructors, was also a point of contention, with some users noting a decline in overall quality at the LWR location.

I absolutely loved the SwimSRQ experience the intensive 1 on 1 two week course was top-tier. Mrs. Ashley was a wonderful instructor and was very good with the kids. Mrs.Ashley was thorough and explained to me each day’s activities and gave me pointers to work on at home. My four year-old daughter and my six-year-old son are swimming! Day 1 my daughter wouldn’t let the water touch her face and she’s swimming and floating now!!! My babies enjoy the water now more than ever. They are able to roll over and float. They are able to get out of the pool, they absolutely enjoyed themselves and had a wonderful time. Thank you, thank you, thank you I will be back soon. Trying to work out my schedule to bring them one day a week. I’m over 30 miles away, but the class is definitely worth the drive! The LA fitness facility is clean the staff are inviting, the members are nice as well.Thank you Mrs. Ashley for being so patient and kind to my children. You are appreciated.

My son has been taking lessons with SwimSRQ for several years, and the improvement has been incredible! The SwimSRQ coaches are not only knowledgeable and experienced but also patient and encouraging. They know how to push swimmers to do their best while making lessons fun and engaging. My son looks forward to every session and has gained so much confidence in the water. Highly recommend SwimSRQ to anyone looking for an excellent swim coach!

Awesome experience! My children learned so much during the 8-week summer session. Both are confident swimmers now and we look forward to signing up again.

Do not use this company for swim lessons if you have a child with special needs who requires routine and structure. Our experience with Swim SRQ has traumatized my son to the point that he does not want to get into any pool at all- prior to lessons he loved to be in the pool. This review is specifically for the LWR location but also for the admin for this company in general. This review is specifically for the LWR location, but also for the admin of the company. They will switch swim instructors without warning and force your child into uncomfortable situations with these new strange instructors. You will have no opportunity for a refund as they will offer you a make up class with another new instructor, even if your child is not comfortable. Every week seems to be new rules about which lanes are allowed to be used which also triggered my son who needs routine. Sometimes the kids are disrupted mid lesson to switch lanes/locations in the pool to allow for gym members to use certain lanes. Children are not allowed to use the bathrooms and when I asked about using the family bathroom I was told no because my child was wet. So good luck if your child needs to go to the bathroom- I guess they are expected to go in the pool (which my special needs child will not). I have a son without special needs and have also removed him from lessons here as the quality has really gone down hill over the past 2 months. We will be seeking lessons elsewhere in the area with a company who is open to teaching those of all needs and abilities.

We’ve had a wonderful experience at Swim SRQ in Lakewood Ranch! Katelynn is an amazing instructor—so patient, encouraging, and skilled. We’ve also had makeup lessons with Anna and other instructors, and they were all fantastic. Highly recommend this location!
