Holly City Family Center — Local services in Millville

This is my daughter's first year attending Holly City Family Center's summer program and she absolutely loves it! At the start of summer my daughter was swimming a little but only where she could reach in the shallow end. HCFC offers swimming lessons during their free swim time for the kids. After the first two weeks of participating in lessons she was swimming freely in the deep end without swimmies or a life vest. She's swimming under water down to the bottom of the pool picking up pool toys and is now a comfortable and confident swimmer. The staff are always pleasant and helpful. My daughter often forgets her belongings there and they are always there in the morning. I can't say enough good things about this place. They run a wonderful program with weekly themes and visits from the ice cream man. The hours are perfect for working families they offer free before and after care and it's been an all around amazing experience for my child. Thank you to the staff for making this a summer to remember for my daughter. We will definitely be joining again next year. Also, they accept Rutgers which is extremely helpful for low income families. 10...

My review is solely on the baby swim classes (6 months - 3 years). DO NOT WASTE THE $90 FOR THIS CLASS!!! There is no structure or "lessons".

When I questioned them as to why there were no actual lessons I was told there isn't much they can do with kids that age, yet I have friends and family who go other places and their babies have learned to blow bubbles, float on back, hold breath under water, etc. In my opinion spend a bit more money to join an actual pool (this one is pretty small, not much bigger than an inground pool someone would have in their backyard) where you can access it any day at any time, not just once a week for...

I bought swimming lessons for my grandson for Christmas. The price was reasonable. I was able to select a day and time offered that was convenient for me. The lessons are once a week for 30 minutes for 8 weeks. It's very nice that there is a family changing room. I can take my 4 year old grandson to the bathroom and when the lesson is over, he can get a shower and change into warm clothes before going out into the cold. He's only had had one lesson that didn't start on time and ended a little early so we didn't get a full 30 minutes. But his instructor was very good with him and he really...
