We also had lifeguard Laura, and she was AMAZING! I also used to be a lifeguard (now a mom that wanted to enjoy interacting with other parents and not have to watch the pool like a hawk). I was totally comfortable with Laura - she was able to expertly manage our mix of young swimmers and non-swimmers, and parents. It was clear that safety was a priority, and she kept a watchful eye on the swimmers, enforced rules when appropriate to keep everyone safe, but also made sure everyone was having a great time! I'd have her back in a heartbeat. Many parents were super appreciative (and impressed) that we had a lifeguard for the party. Honestly everyone should do it!

She truly listened to our concerns and went above and beyond to make sure everything was resolved. We felt so supported and cared for. Serena thoughtfully paired our two-year-old with Brooklyn, and that made all the difference. Brooklyn has been incredibly patient, gentle, and intuitive with him. He was very afraid of the water at first, and she worked with him slowly, building his trust step by step. She never rushed him and always made him feel safe. Now, we are amazed at the transformation. He is excited for swim lessons, happy in the water, and so much more confident. Watching him go from fearful to trusting and joyful has been such a gift. I can't recommend goldfish swim school enough!

He started with very little swim skills and had always been a bit fearful of the water. Taydem made him feel super comfortable and he looked forward to lessons with her each day. She was always very friendly and professional while also making the lessons fun for him! The techniques she used were easy for him to catch on to and remember. I am very pleased to say his safety and comfortability in the water improved greatly over the course of his lessons! We will be doing another semester this summer just to allow him more time to build upon the skills he has learned. Overall, our experience with Kidtastics has been great and we would highly recommend them and Taydem!

We had an incredible experience with Kidtastics, specifically our instructor Tori Fraga. We decided…read moreto commit to two weeks of 1:1 swim lessons at our home for 2 weeks, (8 lessons, 30 mins each), because despite almost 2 years of weekly group swim lessons at local swim schools, I wasn't confident my 5-year old was truly water safe. I worried about her overconfidence in the pool (thinking she could swim because of the lessons), yet not knowing how to get herself to the side of the pool and out, or swimming without assistance safely. The local swim schools seemed to focus on specific skills like floating on her back and wouldn't target other skills without her doing this, despite her having ear issues that made this very uncomfortable. At the end of the day, that wasn't going to keep her from drowning and I wanted her to be water safe, then start learning strokes. Tori listened to our experience and goals for Michaela and exceeded our expectations. By the end of two weeks, Michaela was not only completely water safe (able to swim to the side of the pool and get out without assistance), but also learned freestyle, backstroke and butterfly, two types of dives and able to dive for items at the bottom of the pool without issue. After the lessons concluded, Michaela swam in our pool for 45 mins with zero support and even practiced strokes and dives. This level of skill would have taken years of weekly lessons and much more money spent in a swim school. This was absolutely worth the investment and daily time commitment for two weeks. Michaela and our whole family adores Tori; her enthusiasm for swimming and teaching was palpable. She built a lasting relationship, connection and impact on Michaela, beyond just advancing her swimming skills. Thank you, Kidtastics and Tori!! We would recommend Kidtastics to any family with a child that has any level of swim goals.

I really didn't know what to expect since I've never attempted to be a mermaid in any capacity, and can barely even hold my breath underwater. My friend and I ended up being the only ones in this class - so it was just the two of us adult women and the instructor all being mermaids together. The instructor provided fins/tails for us. They were pretty worn - my tail had lots of pilling, fading, and holes in the bottom. Then we got into the pool, and the instructor taught us two different mermaid swimming techniques, as well as a few tricks like handstands, flips, and splashing the water with our fins. The whole thing was very casual and not super structured, which could be good or bad depending on what you're wanting. But I think it was extra casual since it was just three of us. We ended up chatting with the instructor throughout a lot of it, and then would work on a new trick for a minutes. At the end, we had time for "free swimming", to just practice mermaiding on our own. Then the instructor offered to take a few photos of us before our time was over. I had a lot of fun, but I think the group that you're with probably has a lot to do with it. It would've been pretty awkward by myself, and I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much if I was with a big group of strangers. Since it ended up basically being a private lesson with one of my best friends, we laughed and goofed off and had a memorable experience.

When the instructors arrived and learned only 3 of the 7 girls including in the price of the party showed up, they added another "single" girl (charged her parents as well) to the private party. They never got permission from the parents who paid over $300 for the party!! Not only were all the mermaid certificates covered in coffee stains, one of the girls' certificates had MERMAID spelled incorrectly . The birthday girl received her own personal mermaid tail from her parents as a gift ($100+) which ripped up one whole side 15 minutes after she got in the pool with it. It was an extremely disappointing experience, which is so sad because it's such a great concept. Unfortunately I will never be using this company, my daughter has been begging for a mermaid party but no way will I pay for this level of unprofessionalism. Ive also let all the other moms in the Scottsdale moms group, who've been asking how it went, know about our experience!
