My family can't say enough good things about Maui Float on Swim Lessons!…read more Nia is the BEST!!! She is so patient, has such a kind heart, prompt, professional, knowledgeable, I could go on. After three private lessons, our four year old son can now swim independently with no flotation devices :) He was extremely hesitant in the beginning, but with Nia's gentle energy, he kept asking when the next "swim lesson day" was. This is a kid who previously didn't like water over his head in the bath and now he's swimming and grabbing sink toys. Also, Emily has such great customer service, she is prompt with her replies, super friendly/personable and works her hardest to accommodate your schedule! We live on island very part time and she was able to schedule our kiddos for three lessons, the last week we were there. See you in the fall, we've already scheduled more lessons! Mahalo!

Emily is SO Awesome!!! I just can't say enough good things about her!…read more She taught my 5 year old grandson how to swim under water and float on his back the very first lesson!!! Before that he was petrified and wouldn't go near the water without water wings. Am super happy we found her! Wings are gone!!!!

Our 4 year old loved going in the ocean, but was too fearful to learn to swim on his own. We were…read morelucky enough to come across "Swim With Hoku" and though the class schedule wasn't what we expected (10 days for 10 minutes a day), the results speak for themselves! Our son can now swim from one end of the pool to the other basically by his own! Hoku was patient, kind, and reassuring. By the end of classes our son didn't want them to end! We would recommend Swim with Hoku to anyone who is struggling to get their kid to want to learn to swim.

Hoku was fantastic! His 10-minutes a day for 10 days approach was extremely effective. My son has…read morenever made so much progress in such a short a period of time with a swim instructor. Plus, my son had a ton of fun while he did it! I highly recommend Hoku for swim lessons!

I get to be a mermaid for the morning with a bunch of my girlfriends on a beach in Hawaii?! Are you…read morekidding me!? Dream come true! When we got to Makena Landing, Lila was there ready and waiting for us. We had a very informative land lesson where she taught about the importance of reef safe sunscreen and using rash guards/shade, trying to minimize single-use plastic and basic ocean safety. She also went over some of the Hawaiian fish so that if we saw them, we would know what they were. You can feel her LOVE for the ocean. We headed down to the beach where we put on our mermaid tails and lei (I had to bring a few fake lei just for photos--it's MAUI!!) ... She had us take a few photos together and some by ourself. It was so fun and all the other beach-goers were really interested in the 5 mermaids who had "washed up on shore!" We headed out to the water and got busy exploring and learning to use our new tails. It was a little hard at first but she gave us pool noodles, snorkel masks and floaties so that we could get comfortable at our own pace. It didn't take long before we were splashing like real mermaids---because we are! :) It was so fun! The laughter had to have been heard from the beach. Lila had us swim around and she got some fun photos of us as group. We headed back in and got back our land legs. This was such a fun time! This would be such a fun mother/daughter, sister or bestie date. HIGHLY recommended for mermaids and mermen of all ages. Mahalo Hawaii Mermaid Adventures! Hope to see you soon!

Highly recommend doing this! Also they email you directions to the beach where you meet your mermaid instructor- don't go to the address Google maps provides :) besides that everything went smoothly and we still made it to our lesson just wanted to add that for future mermaids as a reminder.

It was an exceptional lesson! House is an excellent communicator and focussed on the very specifics I needed to make improvements. I actually spent less little time swimming and more time talking about the mechanics of a good swimming technique. After practicing what House taught me, I was swimming multiple kilometers with a few weeks AND ENJOYING IT! Swimming went from my activity of most anxiety to being my favorite. This is the best money I have spent on training. I highly recommend her for swim coaching.

I feel less tensed, more streamlined and most importantly I don't waste energy on unnecessary stroke movements. Coach House has not only brought finesse to my body movements but she also helped me get more comfortable in water. Looking forward to continue our sessions when I visit Maui next.

Please look for our Mermaid University and Manō University childrens pool classes held at the Fairmont Kea Lani every Tuesday! *Must be guests of the resort. Our mission at Mermaids on Maui is To Inspire - To Educate - and To Ignite. We INSPIRE our Keiki to be confident in their own skin, or 'tail'; and we encourage them to have a positive attitude, and positive self esteem - in the water, or on land! We EDUCATE our Keiki to care for our precious resources, from Mauka to Makai! Here in Hawai'i we say "Aloha 'Āina", and this is means to love, care for, and to honor the land. We perpetuate the Hawaiian culture and language in our classes, in the hope that you will swim away with a deeper love and understanding for all that Hawai'i has to offer. We IGNITE in our Keiki, a passion for Ocean Conservationism that we hope will follow them for a lifetime!
