Dynamo Swim Center

Dynamo used to be a great swim school, but once my son got to the point of floating and kicking, they didn't teach him any new skills for many lessons. Worse, the instructors roughhouse with the kids, which might be motivating, but in my son's case, he accidentally hit his head on the edge of the pool, raising a considerable bump. The pool is housed in a metal structure which is ventilated but not air conditioned, making it uncomfortably hot in the summer for those waiting poolside.

Coach Kyle and his team are great. We feel like our daughter is in great hands with them and is making great progress. Go Dunwoody Dynamo!!!

My preschooler joined Dynamo 3 months ago (this summer 2007) and I must say - the teachers are very friendly to my kid. My son actually feels comfortable in the water. My goal was to have him be comfortable in the water and then learn actual swimming.
I would, though, say - its better if one uses private one-to-one sessions than in a group, for actual learning to swim. Right now, my preschooler is in group session but after this session I will definitely put him in private one-to-one session so he learns maximum.
The group session is OK for any kid afraid of water and trying to get comfortable in water, because the kid actually sees other kids enjoying as well.

Son, age 13, has attended swim lessons for last two years. Teachers seem to enjoy working with the kids, the kids seem to love the teachers, and the place fosters a love of all things "swimming". I don't foresee an end to Dynamo lessons in our near future. Prices are clearly posted on website.

As for the bad, I've heard grumbling from him that he doesn't advance in levels fast enough. But, that's the teacher's discretion. And, I know right now he's certainly challenged in learning proper form. Management is hard to reach and voicemails have never been returned. I've only ever talked with her in person on the day of lessons. The front desk staff is always as knowledgeable about the swim lessons as I'd like, either.

Overall, we're very happy.
