We were lucky to snag some training lessons at a lower cost and those were great for my daughter to experience and get used to the location. They're patient and take the time to teach important techniques - my daughter, on the other hand, gets easily distracted and it can be hard for her to focus and listen to directions. Nevertheless, we look forward to scheduling her for more classes! I only wish the classes were longer than 20 minutes.

Multiple negative experiences trying swim lessons here. Do not recommend…read more More details: We arrived 10 minutes early and waited until 3 minutes past the lesson start time. The woman who we learned was Kaylie was standing around on her phone that whole time until she came over and started the lesson late. We filled out your intake forms sharing information about swimming background and goals, but it didn't seem like Kaylie read them, so we rushed to share experience and goals while the student was getting in the water. The lesson itself didn't cover anything new for the student. Kaylie then rushed to end the lesson on time, despite starting over a few minutes late, which is significant for a single 15 minute lesson. The student didn't learn anything and was rushed out of the pool. We understand it was our first time, but feeling stressed about our lesson was starting late and getting shorter than the 15 minutes we paid for was very frustrating. We had similar negative experiences on subsequent attempts to give this place a shot. Do not recommend, especially not Kaylie McRea.

She went from being deathly afraid of the water to basically becoming a mermaid, requesting longer swim lessons regularly and expressing disappointment when it's not "swim lesson" day.

Would highly recommend to anyone wanting their child to feel more comfortable in the water and more importantly, to obtain and hone valuable self-rescue skills.

He recently joins Goldfish swim school for group lessons and he swims with 7 and 8 year old's. I see kids at Goldfish taking 1-2 years to learn what my son learned in 9 months at Swimguru. Glad I spent the money and didn't waste time driving around for to other lessons that only give minimal progress. If you want results and don't like wasting time, then pick Swimguru. My son loves all his coaches. Thank you coach Rhys, Mitch, Emma, and Molly!

We have had a tremendous experience with SwimGuru. Our four-year-old daughter started swimming…read morethere when she was 18 months old and has a huge love of water now, and she is the youngest on her local swim team. Thanks to the confidence SwimGuru gave her, and us as parents, we also have our two-year-old son in lessons with coach Nick. After seeing how successful our daughter was with the lessons, big thanks to Coach Jessica, I am a huge supporter of the program and recommend it to anyone and everyone who wants to get their kids swimming and safe around water. It's definitely an investment of time and money, but the piece of mind is truly priceless. These private lessons just go to show the importance of a well trained teacher. The teachers take a lot of pride and invest a lot of time and energy and thought into what they do with each child. There is a lot of child psychology that goes into teaching young kids how to swim, and I don't think that is addressed in most other programs which really sets apart SwimGuru. While they are only 15 minutes long, I do believe the kids get a lot more out of the short lessons with focused attention than a 30 minute group lesson. Fair warning that scheduling can be tricky, as there is a huge demand for these lessons. However, Molly is an excellent resource at SwimGuru who can walk you through the process and provide support.

Exceptional classes with talented coaches and a program that really works. At first I wasn't sure…read moreif private classes would work for us but it has been worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. Because of the pandemic, my two children didn't get to continue their swim lessons and were 5 and 7 without knowing how to swim. I found Swim Guru and it has made all the difference. Group lessons just were not working for my kids - even before the pandemic. They really made no gains in a group setting. With SwimGuru my kids made incredibly rapid gains and are now both swimming! The swim test once they pass basic skills is also an important step that most swim places don't bother with. My kids were originally so scared of the water and very quickly became comfortable and then confident and joyful under the calm, competent coaching. We've worked with coach Helen and coach Molly - both of whom are wonderful. Every single coach is great and so are all the pool locations. Thank you SO much for teaching my kids to swim, helping them gain an important safety-oriented life skill and giving me peace of mind.

I was nervous to try OTF because of my lack of fitness and experience. My trial class was with Coach Anna. The studio called the night before to walk me through what to expect, which I really appreciated. On the day of the first class, the front desk staff and Coach Anna walked me through everything and answered all my questions. Anna continued to check in throughout the workout to make sure I was doing okay. I finished and was shocked that I didn't hate it. I very hesitantly signed up, but I'm happy to report that months later, I'm still loving it and feel better than ever. Things I love about OTF in general: I don't have to make decisions about what exercises to do each day, I can't back out last minute if I'm not in the mood (there's some flexibility for real emergencies if you call them), you set your own pace and intensity, classes fly by and I don't get bored, coaches are always there to answer questions and give feedback/recommendations, the benchmarks and challenges keep me motivated, and maybe most importantly, I've seen huge changes in my overall health and strength. Specific Shoreline studio details: the front desk staff are so friendly. They always greet me by name with a smile. The studio is clean and well cared for. I mostly take classes with Anna and Mitchell, just because that's what works with my schedule. They are both amazing at what they do. They're kind, motivating, personable, and I love that they give me feedback on form when lifting. For me, this is really important so I don't injure myself and so that I'm working the right muscles. One piece of feedback is for ALL of the coaches to give feedback on form on the weight floor. I've taken some classes where the coaches are pretty quiet and don't really interact with the people in the class, and it's not as helpful for me as someone newer to lifting. Overall, I love this OTF studio and look forward to many classes to come (especially with Anna and Mitchell)!
