Our youngest is getting close to being graduated from preteen as well but we will still be going. This place is all warmth and happiness. They strive hard to provide great life saving education with very knowledgeable coaches. I highly recommend to everyone with children.

We signed up our daughter, 2 1/2. Jessica said she could get us signed up for the end of May. She…read moresent me the link on her website to sign up. Her website was down. Once it was back up I signed up and asked her if we could start when we agreed and she said that by the time we signed up, other families had taken our spot and now my option would be really late in the day or mid August. We eventually agreed on a compromise time and she assured me it would work out with other children cancelling or getting sick. We went to one class. Then she had to cancel because she was sick. After two weeks of cancellations for various reasons on her part, she moved pools on us to a pool much farther away. This pool was dangerous with tripping hazards and unsafe grades and curbs on and around the pool. Then one day she said we had to go several hours later because "everyone else" wanted to do later class that day because of weather. I pointed out that it was actually supposed to get hotter later in the day and we would prefer to come to our class at the agreed upon time. She just said she wouldn't be there. When I complained that I didn't understand why my agreed upon appointment time was being run by committee and other families' last minute changes, she had a lot of excuses but no logical answer. So there were too many cancellations on her part to count for things like, weather, dirty pool, she's sick, family emergency, Father's Day weekend travel etc. The 6 week program was still going on from May to August. Of course she demanded payment each week even when she cancelled classes. When it came to what she calls "check out", throwing the kids in the pool with clothes and regular diaper, (graduation), my daughter was very scared from the process and did not complete it successfully. Jessica claimed it was a success. I think just to get another family in our spot and collect more money. My daughter went from loving the pool to getting super anxious anytime we get her swimsuit out. Jessica said we would continue lessons until she improved in her attitude towards swimming, but only offered us sporadic undesirable times when my daughter was scheduled to nap. The last straw was when I asked her for a refund as my daughter wasn't water safe as promised. I told her I had the video of the graduation to show proof. Then I was informed that she had video from the homeowner where the class was that shows successful graduation. That's when I realized she had been recording everything with no waver or permission asked. Jessica had taken my daughter's clothes off in the pool and outside the pool. She claimed that it was easier to take off in the pool. She is recording all the children in a state of undress without parents' knowledge. Bottom line she will take your money, not fulfill commitments, change locations, change times, never apologize, has an excuse for everything. She'll try to talk you in circles and she will record your children without your knowledge.

When we signed up with Jessica, we agreed upon a set schedule and time and then the first class got…read morecancelled because she said the pool wouldn't be warm in time. The next day we went on as scheduled. By the third class, we had to go to her moms pool in De Luz, which was further away than the agreed upon location. The pool was dirty and there was no shade. The kids can't wear sunglasses, sunblock or hats during their classes, so no shade was unfortunate for my 7 month old baby. During the swim lesson at her mom's pool, Jessica was scooping stuff out of the pool since the pool was dirty and not cleaned. Her mom was yelling down to her during the lesson as well. Over the course of 3 weeks she kept needing to reschedule the lessons, and then she stated that all lessons would be at her mom's pool from now on. Finally, my husband and I decided to stop lessons because of the inconsistency of the schedule, change in pools, and her frequently canceling last minute. We had paid $600 upfront, and only attended 3 classes. We asked for a refund and she refused. So we paid $600 for 3 10 minute lessons. Please use our experience as a lesson and go with someone else.

Just six months later, she's swimming unassisted across the pool. It's been truly remarkable to watch her progress, and her instructor, Miss Isabella, has made every lesson fun, encouraging, and safe from day one. The lessons are short, which seems typical for this age group, but if you stay consistent, the progress happens quickly. The staff is also very open to feedback and always responsive whenever we've had questions or concerns about a lesson. Going into this summer, I feel confident she'll be able to swim independently, and I'm so grateful she's developed a genuine love for the water.

I am writing this review on behalf of the staff at this location. The teachers are so wonderful and…read morecaring. The office staff is always accommodating and friendly. Unfortunately, we have noticed that staff members, including one of our favorite instructors have left and are planning on leaving their employment at this location. I have learned that this is not because of the job itself, but because of the conduct and behavior of the owner whom I shall refer to as "B" "B" does not seem to value his staff in the way we, the customers, do. It is my understanding that he is often rude, dismissive, abrupt, and insensitive to staff. I have also learned that there is hardly a staff member at the school that has not been brought to tears by the words of 'B" I have personally observed some of his interactions with staff, and was horrified that they would be spoken to in the manner that he did. This type of business relies on their staff, specifically their teachers. Without them, there is no business. I am quite concerned that there will be a continued turnover, which will have a direct negative impact on the students at the school, including my son. I know that this is a family owned and operated business. I have great respect for the Callan family. Unfortunately "B" is risking their good reputation, and I truly hope someone in the family business can step in and change the course such that the staff be treated as they deserve. I know that many families, mine included, will follow our child's instructor if they should leave this location. This 5 star rating is only because of the employees.

From the start we loved how each instructor was so patient with our daughter. She came a little older at 8 years old and terrified of pools and was very anxious. From April to December they slowly but surely got her comfortable and taught her confidence in the water. We watched her go from nervous to excited every week. The best instructor was Mr. Seth. He was always incredibly kind, positive, friendly and motivating. Aubree really took to him and was swimming and diving by her last session. I can't say enough good things about this school and how it has carried over into other areas of her life. We noticed her anxiety decreased, her softball skills increased and an overall improvement in awareness. HANDS DOWN WORTH THE MONEY.

As someone with a background in education, I can tell how much skill & experience she has (she has 50 yrs of teaching experience) in everything she does with them that looks so natural but she's doing everything for a specific reason to get them closer to being proficient swimmers. We had previously only done a local ISR 2 week class with our oldest when they were very little but it was very traumatic for me & I didn't want to go back. I'm so thankful they can learn now in such a fun & effective way! I'm telling all my friends -- run don't walk to these swim lessons!!

I had been looking for a one-on-one lesson. Kilmers Swim Time, taught by Lori Kilmer sounded just like what I had been searching for. I called her and booked lesson throughout the next 2.5 months to start. My son, who's about to turn 4 yr old has had 5, 30 minute swim lessons now. He started off shy and quiet. Not sure of this new place and person. But with each lesson he has opened up more and learned SO much! Lori has toys on the side of the pool she uses to keep the kids interested and focused in their lesson. She's so good with kids! Her style of teaching has my easily distracted kiddo focused and engaged the WHOLE lesson. It's impressive! Having my son, who is comfortable in water, but did not know how to swim, have one-on-one lessons is so much less stressful. With group lessons with a different company last year I was so paranoid of him going under the water and no one noticing, since they'd be working with a different kid and have their back to the kids who were waiting for their turn. I highly recommend you talk to Lori and give Kilmer's Swim Time a chance! She's very knowledgeable and has decades of experience!
