Sheridan Park Pool (Indoor) — Local services in West Chicago Township

Splitting this review in two sections - lessons and facility:

-Lessons: Swim lessons with Alex have taken me from being irrationally afraid of the deep end to being able to swim laps using 3 out of the 4 main strokes. His approach to teaching includes breaking concepts down to manageable segments and explaining the mechanics behind the stroke, kick etc; this aligns well with how I learn which is why I believe the lessons have helped so much. He's also very patient and tailors the lessons according to each swimmer's skill while allowing for opportunities to push yourself further. There's still work to be done but I'm happy to have conquered my fear and have the foundational skills to build upon. Also, while the majority of my lessons were with Alex, the rest of the morning coaches (Omar and Damien) have also been super helpful, patient and welcoming.

I love taking swim classes here! There are various instructors but Alex is amazing!!

Only downside to this location is that it was sometimes difficult to find parking. But I always eventually was able to...

I’ve been taking swimming lessons with Coach Alex, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He’s patient, encouraging, and really knows how to break down the techniques. I’ve seen significant improvement in my swimming skills, and his positive attitude makes each class enjoyable.

Also, my child has been taking tot swimming classes with Lora and Victoria for the second semester, and she absolutely loves them! Both are amazing with kids, creating a fun and supportive environment.

Highly recommend swimming...
