KC Swim Academy

KC swim academy is the swim lesson division of Team Unify– a club swim team. During the summer they offer swim camps M-​Th x 2 weeks 30min each. During the school year they have weekly lessons on Sunday. Group lessons are $ 22 per lesson, and there are a max of 4 kids (but most of the time my kids were in groups of 2 or 3) also if there were 4 kids they usually had 2 instructors per group for the younger kids. I really like the fact that they did not use any swim ‘backpacks’ like the lessons we had at the YMCA.
Suzanne is the director and is so nice and helpful. Most of the instructors are high school kids that swim on the team. They have recently added infant survival (and I believe it is one of the few places in the city that offers it).
If you have an infant — I would highly recommend these lessons. They will be an expert swimmer by 3. If you kids are toddlers, you might consider private lessons first. I found we got a lot more out of the group lessons after a few private ones first.
We had our lessons at the Shawnee Mission East HS pool, but I think they offer them at a few others during the summer.
This is a very well run group and if you have a kid that swims and you want to improve his stroke, they’ll do a great job.
