User Reviews for Nitro Swimming

I signed my son up for lessons here after my neighbor's recommendation. She was a swimmer in college and takes her kids here for swimming. I have been very pleased. My son was nervous about learning to swim. The instructors were patient, nice but also firm, and he ended up enjoying the lessons very much. I like that there are numbered stations, and my son could move to the next station as soon as he learned the skill. He did spend a lot of time at the back floating station but he needed to so that was o.k. He spent most of his time in his lesson practicing which was also good. The first lessons that he took in our neighborhood, he sat on the wall a lot of the time and didn't seem to be able to swim very far. At Nitro, he learned to swim the whole length of the pool and roll on his back to breath which I liked.
Pros: indoor lessons, stations

We felt compelled to set the record straight on what Mommy26 had written. We 7 coaches at Nitro have known Mike for a long time, and he pours his heart and soul into making Nitro the best. If he is guilty of anything, he cares as much as he does about the finished product on the pool deck. As far as under-staffed goes, the start of every season has it's glitches as several new families join us. Mike analyzes each day as to what went right, what needs immediate improvement, and what needs to be looked at over time. Each coach covers about three to four lanes of kids in most of our groups, some less, some a little more, but we're allowed to give a lot of personal attention to the kids we coach. No program in the area offers what Mike does for us coaches. We are all salaried, with full health,dental, and this year life insurance that he provides for us. When prices went up everywhere this year he chose NOT to raise tuitions and to NOT raise any of the registration fees. He offers free lap swimming to all military, police, fire and EMS. He supports the Make a Wish foundation. We've seen him countless times jump into the lessons pool at no charge for families. He's in the middle of arranging a free lessons program for underprivileged kids through the Round Rock schools. He's the first one to open up the building at 5:15AM, and usually the last one to leave around 9:00PM. He's the one you will see climbing under bleachers to scrape gum off of the pool deck, but the first one to take care of a swimmer who may be on the verge of tears. Mommy26 doesn't know Mike. We do. He makes us better on the pool deck because his standards are as high as they are. Mike is the driving force behind Nitro. We choose to be here, and so far none of us have left or have any reason to want to leave. We want to say thank you to Mike for all he does, and that Mommy26 was very unfair to write what she wrote. Sincerely, Tim, Dave (T-Bay), Dave, Kristyn, Cindy, Greg, Robert.
