Our son recently completed private adaptive swim lessons with Vinny C. Vinny is very patient. He kept it fun while helping our son improve strength and technique. We'll be back in the Spring!

Would like to see at least one more recumbent bike bc it's not unusual to have a member looking over your shoulder waiting for a turn,
Tv's have not been working for about two months. Would greatly appreciate close caption tv's fir those who are unable to wear earbuds.
Facility is clean and front desk workers are friendly and welcoming. Upstairs workers are always available for questions about machine usage.
