We bring our 5.5 y.o. for beginner gymnastics. I am so impressed with the quality of instruction and personal attention, especially for a group class. Our kid can have a hard time focusing, but the coach is skillful at bringing her back to the task and teaching determination without putting a damper on the fun. This is only her second month, and I can see improvements in her skills already. The office staff has also been incredibly supportive, answering questions and helping find a class that worked for us. The social distancing and COVID decontamination is also on point. The spaces in the gym are wide open, but the staff is still very conscientious about wearing masks and hand sanitizing. I highly recommend Salem Swim and Gymnastics.
Salem Gymnastics and Swim is awesome! Very professional from the time you enter until you leave. My oldest son took lessons at another place in town and it ended in disaster. I had decided not to return there and started my youngest son at Salem. He has been involved in several speed weeks and I have been highly satisfied!! He participated in a speed week last year prior to COVID-19 and I was super satisfied with that experience then. Class size was small and the instructor worked with each child at their own pace. I was reluctant to sign him up this year due to the pandemic; however, after reading their safety plan decided to try it. I am very glad I did!!! They have gone above and beyond to ensure the safety of the students, employees, and spectators. I have already signed my son up for another speed week. They are very organized, thorough, and the instructors are great with the children. I highly recommend Salem Gymnastics and Swim if you are searching for somewhere for your children to take lessons.
Great instructors who are great with kids and they all work hard to keep space clean and practice social distancing.
My son has taken both swimming and gymnastics. Both have been great experiences. The coaches are wonderful. I like how they offer a variety of times and days for classes. The ratios for swim lessons are very low and your child advances at their own pace.
Salem Gymnastics and Swim have done a really good job of keeping their spaces clean and have good protocols to protect the parents and kids in their facility. I feel safe bringing my daughter back to gymnastics.
Extremely friendly and outgoing owners and staff kids love it here.
My granddaughter just finished the Speed Week swim, level 3/4. I highly recommend! The instructors are great with children and very professional. The classes are 30 min. and not one minute was wasted. My granddaughter learned an incredible amount each day. There are goggles & other accessories available for purchase in the office, convenient & reasonably priced. I am very happy with our experience.
Terrible place they dont instruct kids to swim. My kids have been going there for three years and cant float. Waste of time and money.
My son has been taking gymnastics and swimming lessons here for several years, and he has loved the experience. I have also been impressed by the staff and the overall vibe. It’s fun, but controlled. We will continue.
Mr. Jeff is great with the little kids.
Love.
Fantastic facility and excellent staff
The staff and the owners are fantastic people. They always keep your kids safety and progress a top priority.My kids are gymnasts here and live coming here to train and compete.
Our children have been taking swim lessons for almost 3 months and they love them - and we do too! Weve had our older child in lessons at other places and these have been the best by far. The instructors are great and the model used is consistent and effective. The warm pool is a huge benefit too.
I been calling this place for info like crazy because my son wantd to join the gymnastics team and they always put me on hold . the costumer service sucks
Our daughters have been going here for almost a year and they love it. The instructors are great. Our one daughter is in beginners gymnastics and she is learning so much each week. Our other daughter is in parent and tot class and she absolutely loves it. They both get their energy out. Everyone is very friendly.
I enrolled my niece in swimming lessons at this gym. She comes to visit every summer. The staff here is great. I had a small misunderstanding in regards to their policy but the owner Beth reached out to me and was able to solve it immediately. She was extremely gracious and professional.All and all, I would definitely recommend!
My daughter absolutely loves Salem Gymnastics, Mr. Jeff is an incredible gymnastics teacher and all of the other staff is excellent as well!
My son really enjoys attending gymnastic classes here. Would definitely recommend it. Besides, in this place (Winston Salem) is not like there is much more options or things to do. Give it a try.
We have two in gymnastics, great for the preschoolers, great for my 5th grader. She enjoys her time here. The swimming lessons are my favorite all the instructors are easy to talk to and the kids progress super fast. They practically learned to swim the first month. Money well spent on that peace of mind. Next summer we should be able to relax a little more at the pools and beaches.
Salem is the best!
Safety Warning:Im not one to complain or write negative reviews but because it concerns safety of children I feel like I have a responsibility in this case. I am a seasoned Mom of 4 children three of which are adventurous boys so I am not the helicopter parent type.There are many reasons to be concerned if your child is not yet able to swim or keep their own head above water.At the beginning of classes children are escorted to the pool and then left unattended until their classes start. Even two and three year olds are left completely UNATTENDED!!!Our 3 year old has gone under the water on several separate occasions. The first class should have been our red flag when the instructor told us our son had gone under the water for a while before they we able to get to him. Since then we have watched our son like a hawk. He has gone under multiple times during different classes. We spoke with a manager and they said they would talk with staff but nothing has changed. There is no hand off of the children from one adult to another. The kids are left to fend for themselves until their class starts and once the class is finished.During class time the teachers turn their backs while working with other children. This was not so in other swimming schools we have been involved in. Normally teachers walk backwards and forward in the water continually facing the class; never turning their backs once when dealing with small children. It is very concerning to watch through thick plexy glass as your child go under water for stretches at a time of time while the instructor is completely oblivious. We have had to rush in to shout across the pool to get our son from under the water.We moved from Florida and my older two children had swimming lessons while we lived there and we never felt concerned for their safety. However, at Salem Swim both my husband and I feel that our youngest is not well attended to nor do we feel like he is learning to actually swim. It seems that the main goal is just to get children to enjoy the water not to swim. The reason we enrolled our water loving children was to ensure their safety when around pools.
Kids seemed to have fun, but we definitely felt rushed. Staff was cleaning up right next to kids, rights after they were severed their food. Not sure if the party was going too long, but there wasnt anyone else in the building besides our party.
Enjoyed our karate classes. Learned a lot.
I didnt go to it yet but thats awsome.
Great complex with tons of classes for the kids.
Large gymnastics complex with a large variety of classes.
I love it
