Safety Warning: I'm not one to complain or write negative reviews but because it concerns safety of children I feel like I have a responsibility in this case. I am a seasoned Mom of 4 children three of which are adventurous boys so I am not the helicopter parent type. There are many reasons to be concerned if your child is not yet able to swim or keep their own head above water. At the beginning of classes children are escorted to the pool and then left unattended until their classes start. Even two and three year olds are left completely UNATTENDED!!! Our 3 year old has gone under the water on several separate occasions. The first class should have been our red flag when the instructor told us our son had gone under the water for a while before they we able to get to him. Since then we have watched our son like a hawk. He has gone under multiple times during different classes. We spoke with a manager and they said they would talk with staff but nothing has changed. There is no hand off of the children from one adult to another. The kids are left to fend for themselves until their class starts and once the class is finished. During class time the teachers turn their backs while working with other children. This was not so in other swimming schools we have been involved in. Normally teachers walk backwards and forward in the water continually facing the class; never turning their backs once when dealing with small children. It is very concerning to watch through thick plexy glass as your child go under water for stretches at a time of time while the instructor is completely oblivious. We have had to rush in to shout across the pool to get our son from under the water. We moved from Florida and my older two children had swimming lessons while we lived there and we never felt concerned for their safety. However, at Salem Swim both my husband and I feel that our youngest is not well attended to nor do we feel like he is learning to actually swim. It seems that the main goal is just to get children to enjoy the water not to swim. The reason we enrolled our water loving children was to ensure their safety when around pools.

My son really enjoys attending gymnastic classes here. Would definitely recommend it. Besides, in this place (Winston Salem) is not like there is much more options or things to do. Give it a try.

Our daughters have been going here for almost a year and they love it. The instructor's are great. Our one daughter is in beginner's gymnastics and she is learning so much each week. Our other daughter is in parent and tot class and she absolutely loves it. They both get their energy out. Everyone is very friendly.

We have two in gymnastics, great for the preschoolers, great for my 5th grader. She enjoys her time here. The swimming lessons are my favorite all the instructors are easy to talk to and the kids progress super fast. They practically learned to swim the first month. Money well spent on that peace of mind. Next summer we should be able to relax a little more at the pools and beaches.

Absolutely love this place! My daughter has tried several places for gymnastics and she is the happiest I've seen her since we've started coming here a year ago. The staff are so friendly.
