Reviews

I enrolled in Plus Pool’s Adult Learn to Swim classes last fall. I love water, but my first experience with swimming lessons as a child left me feeling afraid and unconfident for years. Cameron, Anna and Willow are amazing and effective instructors. They are patient, kind, funny, informative and teach with care. I appreciate the way the cadence of each class moves between group learning as well as quick one-on-one check ins and encouragement. In just two cycles of classes I can now swim in the deep end without feeling like I’m going to drown. Their instruction has helped me figure out how to be more present in my body, how to breathe, how to slow down and how to begin trusting myself in the water.

The class was very welcoming and supportive. No judgement passed at all. Vlad was very patient with me and I don’t have one swimmers bone in my body. I would definitely recommend this class to anybody that is looking to learn how to swim.

Willow was terrific- gave very good detailed instructions and was encouraging with good feedback. The pool was good.

My son has been taking swim lessons with Schamil for the last 5 seasons and I cannot tell you how much progress my son has made!

My son was born with a cleft lip and palette, which means that he’s always been delayed when it comes to gross motor skills. Under any regular coach, this would have hindered him from learning how to swim this fast. But under Schamil’s guidance, he has made so many leaps and bounds that we just cannot believe it! Schamil is so patient and knows how to work with 1-3 in such an exceptional way that I haven’t even see with his 3K teachers.

We are already signed up for next session!

Both my son and I have grown so much in the water because of your instructors.

My son had gone through multiple sessions at another swim school without really learning how to swim, but within just a few classes with Tommy, he was swimming confidently. His progress has been amazing, and now he is even diving properly. Tommy was especially wonderful with him, showing so much patience and care.

I have also made huge progress myself. Before Physique Swimming, I could not float and was very uncomfortable in deep water. Now I can float, I am more comfortable in the deep end, and I feel much more confident with my breathing and overall swimming.

This has been such a positive experience for both me and my son, and I have been recommending the Bronx location to everyone. Thank you for everything.

I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done for me. Last night was truly special. All this time I didn’t think I could swim, and I was always afraid of the deep end — but your patience, guidance, encouragement, and the way you support me changed everything.

You had me going from the shallow to the deep and back, and for the first time, I felt comfortable. You helped me overcome a fear I’ve carried for years, and now I actually feel confident that I can swim — and that I can take on that mini triathlon in July.

As a 73-year-old learning to swim, this journey hasn’t been easy, but with you by my side, it’s becoming one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Words can’t express how grateful I am to have you as my instructor. You’re amazing, and I truly appreciate you.
