Ripples is probably great for new swimmers and little ones who progress through their entire program. They have a great facility with ample parking, two great viewing areas for parents, clean changing rooms and a nice online portal to track skills and deal with account things.My son had been swimming for 6/7 years. We were with Envious for about 4/5 years before they closed and then with pods for about a year. Ripples was close to home so we called to sign up. Our first time in the facility we knew this wasn’t the school for us. Pool is small, shallow and kids are placed by skill level rather than age/skill level. My son was much older than the other kids and frankly, much further along skill wise than they were. We were only there for a month. They didn’t ask why we were withdrawing so quickly after signing up but I guess it’s a moot point since we were leaving regardless.My advice to them would be to have families tour the facility and evaluate the kid before enrolling. Had we saw the pool prior to signing up and then heard what class he was being placed in, we wouldn’t have signed up and wasted the money and time.My son is now with a new school. He spends his entire hour swimming in his own lane, focused on conditioning, stroke technique, diving and flip turns. We will be going to 2-3 times a week in November to step up his conditioning. When I compare what he was getting at ripples for a half hour once a week, I just can’t give the place anything higher than two stars.

Our two girls come here.Our oldest was proficient to start but now is doing butterfly and breast stroke.Our youngest went from being afraid to put her head in to floating, swimming, and going to the bottom of the pool for rings.This is all within months!They are really fantastic! They push just hard enough to promote progress but still make sessions super fun.

Great new building. High attrition rate tho.

We started coming here a little over a month ago with our daughter who was only 16 months at the time. She is becoming sooo comfortable in the pool and is showing off at family cookouts. We love coming here.

Great experience for my child. The team and coaches are amazing and due so great to connect to the children and provide them with a great learning experience. Their Covid Protocol makes you feel safe as well. Highly recommend

Family owned friendly environment great instructors and front desk with most beautiful state of the art pool and everything around accommodated to the kids private showers closets changing rooms that immaculate clean with hand sanitizes everywhere and Covid sterile.This is best school in RI for kids I been in a few and no better then this one.Parents can view the kids lessons in 2 areas through glass that directly infront of the pool or giant LCD SCREEN .Not like in different swim school who force parents to stay outside AMD clime to see them over the bushes and outside tiny dirty windows.This school is dream come true for parent who want seat back and watch their kids gain confidence in learning how to swim to the even professional smim lessons.Also there is such a nice friendly staff there who also helpful and very highly attentive.If you have child and want them to swim no matter what age even little babies below 16 this is place for them to be.Instructors amazing and make your kids love pool and swimming even entertain them while you seat back and relax.Other swim schools beware the do opposite and instructors will scare hell out of your kid and they wont have any desire to come back to the pool again.But this school is A+++++ Best of the Best!!!

My daughter has gone here for four months and loved every moment of it.

We love this school they are really sweet and gentle with the babies!

Wonderfully staffed and great results under their guidance.

Great swimming center, swimming lessons staff is awesome, very organized.

Great swimming school! They are paying attention to safety in these crazy times!

Its a cozy place, but makes for a great childrens birthday spot. The pool is big enough for 20 or so children, and you can watch them from the pool room or the function room - but you dont have to worry because the lifeguards are very attentive. Lots of fun.

Amazing! The teachers are great. Everyone who works there is so nice and friendly. My kids love it! The classes are small which makes it so personal. I highly recommend Ripples!

My son started swim lessons here in July and has come such a long way in the month that he’s been here. We recently had a little issue with membership and customer service that was fixed by the owner. Hoping COVID starts to decrease and we can return later in the fall.

My 4 and 5 year old boys had their first lesson today. The oldest was anxious and in tears before the class. Their instructor was great and they were smiling within 5 minutes. Theyre looking forward to next weeks class.

We love Ripples so much! Before taking classes here my daughter would not even get her face wet! She just loves this place and the instructor so much!!

Amazing! Truly one of a kind! This place literally taught my kids to swim quickly and very gently! Couldnt thank them enough or give a high enough rating!

Switched from pods and we LOVE it

The kids loved their first lessons here! Wonderful facility!

Great for children and adults ( lessons )

They do a great job here!
