I am looking at a few different places to sign my 3 year-old son up for swim lessons. I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with DuPage Swimming Center or Bear Paddle Swim School. Any stories, good, bad, or ugly, are appreciated about these two places. Or, if you have had a fantastic experience somewhere else, I would like to hear from you, too. Naperville/Aurora area only, please.

We take our son to Edward Health and Fitness (at Seven Bridges) for swim classes and he loves it!
I haven't signed up my kids yet, but I know numerous families who have done "Swim With Bill" in Aurora and just rave about the program. I know a few high school swimmers who have competed at the national level that have worked with that program.
From what I keep hearing its the best.
Good luck!
My girls and I took the parent tot classes at DuPage Swimming Center and we loved it. There was a teacher there named Mary Beth for the 3 years they were there. I thought she was phenomenal! I enjoyed the fact that the water was warm and not freezing cold. Plus there is a room that other family members can watch from. I don't know how the older level of swim lessons are there, but my neighbors have taken from there and they recommend it.
i was going to take my kids to dupage swim center but opted for the isr swim program because in the long run it was cheaper & one on one....they travel to different facilities all over illinois but they mainly teach in aurora & plano....google it or pm me if you want more info
