We have recently moved to Lessburg and we have a 5 yr old and twin 3 yr olds. We are interested in having them take swim lessons at a swim school with a solid reputation and excellent results. We are coming from the Jersey Shore and Silton Swim School which takes a very discplined no parents allowed approach which we have found to be very successful. Does anyone know of a similar center in or near Leesburg?

Also - we are considering enrolling our children at the Kindercare on Golden Meadow in Ashburn - any positive/negative thoughts about that center?

Thanks,
Kelly

Potomac Swim School in Ashburn has a good reputation.

We used to live in Ashburn and we sent our kids to Kindercare in the Broadlands...right off of Waxpool and we loved it there. Carrie Ann is the director and she runs a tight ship. I ALWAYS felt comfortable leaving my kids there. Caring, clean, good food. Can't say enough about it. Before going there we went to Kiddie Academy in Lansdowne...long story, but after 6 months we took them out. So we then researched and landed on Kindercare in Broadlands. We had looked at the one on Golden Meadow but my husband just didn't like it for some reason...I think he was drawn to Carrie Ann and the way she ran her center...Golden Meadow was closer but an additional 3 minutes was nothing. Hope this helps!

Default SwimKids is fantastic

I'd recommend you take her to SwimKids; they are opening in June in Potomac Station in Leesburg. We have our kids enrolled at their Gainesville swim school and it is amazing! Our kids are awesome swimmers now; their strokes are fantastic and that's because they learned at SwimKids. Their website is www.swimkids.us.

Another vote for SwimKids! Their facility in Gainesville is fantastic and the new one opening near Leesburg should be just as good if not better. The staff and their approach to training is first rate.
