We think Southwest Community Center a.k.a “The Gym” is great! This facility and it’s experienced instructors are a blessing for this community. We appreciate the flexibility of scheduling and thoughtfulness of staff with regard to the needs of our particular child. Coach Blaine, Teacher Ellen & the Swim Staff are HEROES!
