Our experience with Swimm With Timm has been absolutely outstanding. What truly sets them apart is…read moretheir commitment to quality instruction and their small 4:1 student-to-coach ratio, which allows every swimmer to receive real, individualized attention. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about teaching proper technique. Instead of crowded classes where kids get lost in the group, each swimmer receives feedback, corrections, and encouragement throughout the lesson. You can genuinely see the progress week by week, not just in swimming skills, but also in confidence in the water. If you're looking for a swim program that prioritizes safety, technique, and personal development, Swimm With Timm is truly one of the best choices in the area. Highly recommended!

My son has grown leaps and bounds in swim classes with swim with Timm due to their extremely supportive and knowledgeable staff. They are always challenging all of the kids and switching things up each and every class. They class size is super small which makes it easier for kids and especially my son to learn and grow. Whenever I have questions, I can always count on Liz and Tim, along with swim instructors to help. I will continue to keep referring all of my friends to swim with Timm because they are the best swim class in the north shore

As a birthday gift she got me coaching with Craig Lewin (Endurance Swimming). Working with Craig was fantastic - he got both of us prepped and ready to tackle the Channel in August 2023. Along with the physical preparation he took us thru all the other aspects of attempting something as epic as the English Channel. He even met with our crew to set expectations for the day. As it turned out we really needed all the mental prep (maybe more than the physical). We had to wait until the last possible day to swim and anxiety levels were high. Craig was able to get us all into the best mental state and she was successful. An adventure of a lifetime! We are both planning on continuing with his coaching. I would highly recommend Craig as a marathon swimming coach!

With a membership here, you get access to several locations in the north shore and they're all technically your "home" location. I've only used the gym here but the equipment is TOP NOTCH! They just finished a renovation and everything is pretty much brand new. They also have a turf area and a punching bag you can use (though you can't use it if a class is going on). Not to mention, the building (including the locker rooms) is very clean. Outside of that, they have open pickleball, open swim and several leagues that go on throughout the year. Also, this location has a little cafe where you can hang out and get a drink if needed! You definitely get your bang for your buck here. If you're on the fence, go in for a tour just to see how amazing this place is!
