Our first summer as member's of the Coggan Aquatic family, and our experience has been incredible! :) The pool is beautiful and clean. The staff is attentive and friendly. Our two children just started swim lessons this summer. The teachers have been so kind and patient, great with young kids, and super effective. We are absolutely amazed with their progress, and the kids have become so much more comfortable, and really enjoy the water. We absolutely love it here, thank you so much to the amazing staff. And thank you so much to Michael who has been very accommodating with scheduling; and keeps the pool running smoothly.

This is our second summer of private swim lessons at Coggan, our son started at 3 years old. He just turned 4 years old and thanks to the dedicated, kind, and positive swim instructors is able to jump in the pool and easily swim a pretty long way to get to the stairs or pool deck. The instructors taught him how to breath while he swims, roll over, and back float already. Private 25 min lessons are the perfect amount of time to get max experience because they work the entire time and have fun while they learn. Michael the instructor coordinator is awesome super helpful, cares about the kids and program, and is a great communicator. We are planning on continuing and putting our new baby in lessons when he gets old enough. It’s awesome knowing your kid is pool safe and he absolutely loves his instructors and going to his lessons!

My kids had a wonderful experience in their summer swimming classes at the Coggan pool. Each of them advanced a great deal, and our youngest became not only pool safe but also confident in the water. The instructors were fantastic – they made the classes truly instructional while keeping them fun and engaging. Scheduling was very easy, and the lifeguards were always incredibly vigilant, making sure everyone was safe. The pool has a nice community feel, and we are so grateful for the skills, confidence, and love of swimming that Coggan has helped instill in our kids.

Michael did a terrific job preparing my son for the Grommet's JG Swim Test. Michael is no nonsense from the deck, which the kids listen to. In addition to stroke fundamentals, my son gained a new-found confidence after working with Michael. The outcome: 30+ seconds off his swim test time. Miraculous. Thank you, Michael!

We love Coggan Family Aquatic Center! Michael is amazing with our kiddos and at running a great program. My daughter looks forward to all swim lessons and has advanced in the past few months. I couldn’t recommend the staff and facility more! Absolutely amazing experience.
