I am glad we tried this place. It is always one on one lesson which makes the learner to be focused and improve quick Nice environment and quick responses to any kind of questions and patient enough to put up with me with millions inquiries. More over my son is enjoying it read more

It's bittersweet knowing that both my brother & I attended when it was Jan Thomas & now my son (1 years old) attended the same facility! Booking swim lessons was easy & the staff was very responsive & accommodating to my schedule via email & text. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with warm welcomes & goodbyes every lesson from both the front desk & swim instructor. My son LOVED Bullfrog Swim School & his instructor Miss Sally. As parents we couldn't have asked for a better instructor for our son. Miss Sally was very calm, patient, & loving towards our baby boy. By the end of his 10 lessons our 18 month old was able to hold his breath, kick, blow bubbles, & find the edge of the pool. We will definitely book more lessons with Miss Sally to get him fully swimming as he reaches 2! read more

As a first-time mom, I was nervous about booking classes for my son. However, I think the instructors at Bullfrogs are great! My son worked with Nick (black hair) for most of his ten lessons. He also swam with a couple of other instructors on "extra" days. I think it's cool that they offer those additional discounted days for those registered. The only downside for me is the inflexibility of the office. When graduation approached, discounted packages were offered, which I was ecstatic about, seeing how much my son enjoyed swimming. But after doing the math, it would have been cheaper to purchase a larger package at the beginning. However, it's hard to spend over $1K if you don't know whether your child will take to swimming or not, especially with it being their first time. I tried to convey this and extend his lessons as if I had purchased 20 classes. That was quickly denied, which makes me feel like it's more about the money than the experience or parents. We're talking $75 - it shouldn't hurt them financially in the grand scheme of things. Sure, I could spend the $75, but it's the principle that disappoints me. Otherwise, I would recommend Bullfrogs! My son had a blast, and the instructors are excellent. I just wish the office was more understanding. Instructors = 5 stars hands down Office Manager = 2 stars :( read more

Where do I start? This school is amazing from the curriculum to the highly skilled swim instructors. My granddaughter is having the most amazing time in her lessons. I would highly recommend the school. Even if your child has a fear of water bullfrog has a curriculum for that as well. Please don't take my word for it pop in and speak to somebody. The place is clean, cute and professional. The only downfall is that some kids will not adapt to the water at first and cry throughout the lesson. They need to have a plan of attack and keep the crying kids from distracting the kids that are actually trying to learn. read more

EXCEPTIONAL PROGRAM!! My grandson was 2 years old and LOVED his time in the pool. The instructors are so encouraging and supportive. He's four years old now. I wish I could afford to take him and his brother this year. Maybe next year when our savings account grows. This is an investment that has years of dividends that build confident swimmers. read more

Thank you Bullfrog Swim School for providing such a positive experience for our daughter! This is actually her second year taking lessons and we have seen her confidence grow. Registration was easy and when we needed to make schedule changes, Bullfrog responded quickly with alternative dates. Miss Claire was awesome! She made our daughter feel safe and comfortable in the water. She made learning this important life skill fun and exciting! read more

Bullfrog Swim School - Awesome Miss Claire! - Swimming Lessons/Schools Near Me - Clovis, California

Highly recommend Bullfrog swim school! My friends and I split a 10 lesson package and they came out to my pool in Clovis to give us our lessons. They are extremely accommodating and easy to work with. We had to reschedule a few lessons and it was no problem! Our kiddos are only 2 but they grasped the concepts quickly and easily. They made the lessons fun and also easy so that we could do it on our own to keep practicing! If my girl still needs lessons next summer I will def be calling Bullfrog's again! read more

Bullfrog Swim School - Learning to "blow bubbles" ! - Swimming Lessons/Schools Near Me - Clovis, California

Bullfrog Swim School sure knows what they are doing! They warned me my child may cry the first few lessons but by the end of the third she should stop and they were RIGHT! So thankful my child can save herself if she fell in the pool. She also can swim across the pool. It took 10 lessons but we bought a few extra. The women in the office are very helpful and the scheduling is easy. Very impressed with the quality of people employed at Bullfrog. We even got a cute card in the mail from her teacher. We also received an email from the owner directly making sure we are satisfied with the progress of our lessons. The facilities were clean and the pools were beautiful. Wonderful company. Highly recommend. read more

I was searching high and low for personal swimming classes and I know this is the right place because they are attentive, understanding and professional. I can't wait for the girls to actually take the class and learn to swim. read more

So disappointed in this company. The owner cares only about the all mighty dollar and treats her employees so poorly. She hires young people who don't realize what a toxic work environment looks like/feels like yet. There are plenty of other places to go to get swim lessons for you or your kids. If the staff isn't valued, they won't be doing their best and in this case, that's not a great situation for swim lessons for anyone. read more

I just want to take the time to share how amazing the staff here is omg so welcoming and friendly. Let me tell you how amazing I mean AMAZING my daughters instructor was SHELBY was so patient kind and friendly to my baby girl. My daughter came in with no water experience to learning how to swim by the third session she looked forward to the days till her next class we absolutely love you all here and bullfrog swim school Thank you Shelby and staff read more

Bullfrog Swim School exceeded my expectation and I can't say enough great things about this amazing swim school. I will let my story speak for itself (see below). A little background my daughter started her first set of 10 lessons at 19 months. She's now almost 2 and after 2 sets of 10 lessons she's SWIMMING (with a long break between lessons due to COVID)!! She can save herself and did ... If you take lessons with any of Darla's (Owner) amazing staff at this iconic pool you will not be disappointed - Swim lessons save lives!! Darla is the sweetest owner and treats her customers like family. Our story: Our daughter was walking by my cousins pool this evening and she wasn't paying attention to where she was walking. I was standing right there... and in just a split second she fell into the pool she didn't panic she turned herself around and grabbed the wall...she had just saved herself!!! There wasn't much I had to do, I didn't have to jump in or anything I was simply able to bend down by the pool edge and assist her climbing out and I gave her a big hug because she was pretty scared. I wanted to cry I was so proud... it was truly amazing to see her skills she's developed this summer in real life action! Thank you Bullfrog Swim school and Miss Karra for teaching my little girl how to swim, she's not even 2 years old yet and she just saved herself!!! read more

Bullfrog Swim School - We love Teacher Karra she's amazing! - Swimming Lessons/Schools Near Me - Clovis, California

See all

This was the best thing we could have done for our child. Within 3 lessons our child was swimming unassisted and jumping into our pool and swimming to the side. We can't thank the instructor (Shelby) enough for being the best instructor there is. Thank you so much you made it a summer to remember for our child. read more

Obviously customer service is not their strong suit since I have called and sent text messages per their voicemail message it states to text for a quicker response what a joke! Never got any response back. I wanted to enroll my daughter & had questions regarding their liability form. Taking my daughter elsewhere! Reply: Wow so you as the owner this is your response. YOU are the problem. If a potential customer has questions part of your job is responding regardless! read more

Amazing and friendly staff every session. The environment is very welcoming and inviting to everyone. Very clean establishment with everything you need. Nothing but a great experience! Miss Sam B was very patient and kind. read more

Both my kiddos were taught byBullfrog Swim school. We love them and know our kids can save themselves if they ever fell into a pool or other body of water. read more

We all absolutely loved our Bullfrog Swim School experience. Our son and family living up in SF made arrangements with Darla to have our grandkids, Ava and Tommy come down for 10 lessons here in Fresno at our pool. We all loved Miss Mary. She was awesome, knowledgeable, loving and caring and a very experienced instructor. What a wonderful first experience for Ava and Tommy with one on one instruction learning and loving how to become good swimmers and save themselves. Thank you Bullfrog Swim School! read more

Bullfrog Swim School - Swimming Lessons/Schools Near Me - Clovis, California

The best swim school in Fresno/Clovis!! All of the staff are so incredibly nice and helpful. We had lessons with Karra and Gaby. Both instructors were patient, kind, encouraging and taugh my kids to save themselves. My daughter has autism and can get overwhelmed by sounds, changes in routine, and trying new things. Karra was amazing with her and made accommodations so that my daughter could still participate in lessons without being too overwhelmed. Gaby helped my son overcome his fear of jumping into a pool and swimming without a floaty. They all truly go above and beyond for your kids! I highly recommend this swim school to anyone! read more

My son is 3 and taking his first lessons with Sarah. She is great! Very sweet and patient with him. We had a great experience and definitely recommend. read more

Absolutely recommend. My 5 year old learned how to swim and save himself with their program. His instructor Miss Mary came to our house for the lessons. She was great. She didn't just teach him how to swim but also helped him understand the importance of pool safety. read more

We had Miss Abby & she was super friendly and professional. She was on time and respectful. I've only heard good things about Bullfrog Swim School! read more

My first daughter went here when Bullfrog was Jan Thomas school of swimming and she loved it she spent three summers taking swimming lessons. Many years later I had my second daughter and again I found myself looking for a good swimming school but by this time we live in Madera. I remembered about Jan Thomas now named Bullfrog swimming school. I looked into it and enrolled our two-year-old at Bullfrog swim-school in Clovis. I do not regret it, she loves her teacher Sarah! Sarah is very kind sweet, patient and fun loving. Even on her days off my daughter will asked to go to swimming class. We drive from Madera to Clovis twice a week but I don't regret Bullfrog this is definitely the best school to teach kids how to swim. They have fun they bond with their teacher and they learn how to swim! I definitely definitely recommend this school to anybody in the Central Valley that is willing to take the drive if you don't live in Fresno. You will not regret it they are so helpful, and they guide you every step of the way, everybody there is so helpful and respectful. read more

Bullfrog Swim School - This is a picture of my two-year-old with her instructor Sarah. - Swimming Lessons/Schools Near Me - Clovis, California

This was our first time with Bullfrog Swim School (the location in Clovis) and we had such a positive experience. We signed up our two boys (5 and 7) and they had their lessons together. Their instructor was awesome and the two of them learned quickly what to do if they fall in the pool as well as fine-tuning their swimming skills. Today was their last day and they both ended the lesson confident that they can save themselves and know what to do should they fall in the pool. Great place and we are so happy. Socially distanced, wasn't crowded, and friendly staff. My youngest was very sad that it was their last day. Will definitely sign them up again. Highly recommend! read more

Previous issues have been resolved by the business. With that taken care of I would highly recommend this business.

This place is incredible!! We tried another swim school previously, we had a good experience but none can compare to Bullfrog's. Miss Annalise is our instructor and she is absolutely incredible with our shy son, all the instructors seem very caring and patient. Recommending Annalise to all parents!! read more

I cannot recommend Bullfrog enough! Miss Paige was one of the best swim teachers we have ever had! She bonded immediately with my kids and helped them in totally different ways according to their needs. My very resistant youngest was afraid of going underwater and was all tears with very little progress last swim lessons. With Miss Paige, he progressed all the way to a few beginning strokes and even tried a flip turn! He didn't cry once, begged for more lessons and still tells me he misses swim with Miss Paige almost every day after! My oldest could swim already, but needed help prepping for swim team. Her strokes improved every week along with her endurance. Miss Paige built up her confidence and brought so much fun to her lessons. I loved watching both of my kids smile and giggle in the pool and then try something new with confidence. I often watched the other teachers as well and they were calm, playful, positive and supportive. The staff was always super friendly and created a fun, positive environment saying hi every time we walked in and asking how it went on our way out. My kids were so thrilled to see Sir Fearless the frog and still love singing all the songs. We will definitely be back next year and hope to have Miss Paige again! read more

We are so happy with our decision to go to Bullfrog this summer! They have been incredibly warm, helpful, and so kind. My boys have Teacher Kara and she knows how to encourage, but challenge them to try new things in such an effective way! They are so excited to go every Tuesday and Thursday. The facility is beautiful, clean, and professional. It's the best school in town! read more

Bullfrog swim school not only teaches your child how to save themselves if they ever fall in the pool but they also have a fun way to teach pool rules! Both my boys learned to swim through this swim school! Both boys have fallen in the pool since the lessons and been able to get out all on their own! read more

Holy cow. I just called this place and left a message. I get a call back later and answer my phone asking who it is like a normal sane person. The lady on the other end replies "are you kidding me". I proceed to ask if this is the bullfrog swim school..she says "yes" followed by a long awkward silence. I break the silence saying im trying to get more information and ask if shes the receptionist? She responds in a firm tone "No". I ask who she is, and she says she will have some random name i could not understand call me back and hangs up on me. The conversation was rude, weird, and unprofessional. If you are unable to reach them count yourself lucky. Ive had less awkward and confusing conversations from wrong numbers calling me. Sure as heck not gonna stick my child in a pool with these creepers. read more

I am so glad I picked Bullfrog! Both my children can save themselves. I looked at other swim schools and they couldn't explain exactly what my children would learn and Bullfrog has a great method and we got the results they discussed with us. Also, other swim schools didn't allow any make ups and Bullfrog allows 2, which is very helpful if your kids wake up sick or something comes up. Our instructor was competent, on time, informative after each lesson, and dependable. Lastly, I saw the owner walking around with a new hire explaining to them io pick up any bit of paper or trash they may see on the ground. Listening to her discuss the importance of the littlest things was so impressive to me. The facility is so clean and beautiful. We also received an email from her asking how the lessons were going. I 100% recommend Bullfrog to anyone who wants to see their children actually learn to swim. read more

I like the environment very much and Ms Bella is really amazing..my daughter's favorite. The service of the swim unit is very kind and makes my daughter very comfortable and they taught her in a very unique way....thank u Bullfrog and Ms. Bella read more

Miss Daphnee was our toddlers instructor and she did a phenomenal job. Our toddler cried and she explained that she will just stop and she eventually did. We appreciate how she instructed and explained the process. read more

It's confusing that anyone would write a bad review about this company. My son was 3 when he started his lessons last summer and he was terrified of the water! Lesson 1 and 2 were horrible, my son was not having it, but because he had such an amazing teacher by lesson 3 he trusted her completely. She was extremely professional and patient and was able to connect with my son on his terms. Before you know it he was asking for his swim teacher and couldn't wait to dive into the pool. I've never experienced anything but professionalism, I've always been contacted back whenever I had a question, the instructor was never late or called in. To anyone who is negative and just has mean things to say, teach your own kids how to swim and start your own company since you know so much. I will be signing up my child again this summer and many summers to come. read more

I have nothing, but love and appreciation for this company and it's owner. Darla taught three out of my four kiddos to swim. My youngest is being taught by another great instructor, trained by Darla....all in the comfort of our home. Darla even taught my mom to swim!! My mom was terrified of the pool, I couldn't even get her to put her feet in, now she is swimming and with so much confidence I would definitely recommend Bullfrog Swim School!!! read more

All the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. Valerie was my sons swim instructor and she was so patient and understanding. What I loved most was that she taught my 5 year old son how to save himself if he were to ever fall into a pool. Thank you so much! Highly recommended! read more
