My son has been taking swim classes here since 2012. All the teachers we have met have been great. They encourage the parents and children to be independent. If someone needs more attention for their child, they offer private lessons as well. So far, I don’t think my son will need them. This Y is extremely clean, and the staff is great. We are actually going to be enrolling our son in preschool here as well!

I have to thank the aquatics staff at the Ipswich Y for getting my reluctant young swimmer to not only look forward to, but want to, get in the pool. This is a child who got nervous if the water in the tub got too deep who now doesn’t want to get out of the pool at the end of a lesson, and who asks to go to free swim so he can«practice his swimming» as he says. Your staff is accomplishing the three major goals anyone involved in youth sports should focus on: you’re teaching my child the skill set appropriate for his level of swimmer, he’s having fun learning, and he wants to come back and learn more. Thanks again!

My daughter has been taking swim lessons here for several weeks, having switched from another location that wasn’t a Y. I’m very disappointed in the swim instructors. I’ve seen my daughter regress and lose stamina, due to the poor instruction, and reliance on kick boards and noodles. They don’t get in the pool with the kids to correct stroke issues, they just stand on the edge of the pool deck yelling instruction. So disappointing for the price. I complained to the front desk and aquatics director, but my complaints have gone unheeded. Off to search for a place with better instruction. On the upside it’s clean, only reason it gets the two stars is because of that.
