    My son came back to Miss Allyson for some stroke techniques once he'd gotten more coordinated. Once again, Miss Allyson kept it fun and approachable, but was effective at the same time. I cannot say enough good things about her program or her! Always grateful for the peace of mind and love of swimming my son now has.

    Mrs. Allison is great. At Safeway Swim School has been absolutely amazing for our family! When my 2-year-old daughter first started, she didn't know how to swim at all and was nervous around the water. Thanks to the patient, caring, and knowledgeable instructor, she now confidently floats on her own! Mrs. Allison make every lesson fun while still focusing on safety and proper technique. They truly know how to connect with little ones and build trust. I've watched my daughter become more comfortable, brave, and excited for each session. It's incredible to see how much progress she's made in such a short time. I'm so grateful for the skills they're teaching her--skills that could genuinely save her life. I highly recommend Safeway Swim School to any parent looking for a supportive and effective swim program for their child. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

    We've been taking our little to Mrs. Alyson since our daughter was 8 months old. She's 2.5 now and completely water safe because of Alyson and her teachings. You go through different in water safety progressions with your child and continue with her until they're not only water safe but she teaches your kids how to swim also! We're so excited for our daughters skills! Also when you take your your young kids to a swimming pool and they're doing their thing in the water on their own it's super impressive. Our daughter fell off a step down in a pool we were at and she popped right up and started floating and kicking to safety. Another child much older in a safety jacket for swimming did the same thing and was scared/screaming in her life vest after she dropped off the step. Needless to say Mrs. Alyson is amazing and beyond worth taking care of your kids swim safety needs. ‍ Thank you so much from the Liebman family!

    We've been attending Australian Swim School since 2024. I rate this a 4 star instead of a 5…read morebecause, objectively, the facility is outdated and is in dire need of sweeping repairs. We've had numerous canceled classes due to the heaters not working, or some other miscellaneous fix that's needed. With that being said, the reason we still take our toddler to this school is because of the staff. We've had incredible instructors like Ms. Bella and our current instructor, Mr. Dylan. They have made us feel so comfortable with her our child in the water. Her improvement and comfortability in the water is a testament to their tutelage. And we believe this level of excellence is cultivated from the top. We've had the good fortune of working directly with Flavio (Manager) for the vast majority of our time at the school. He's the best front facing representative any business could ask for. He's so intentional about making sure families feel seen and heard, and that the kids are always made to feel special. His warmth and general demeanor sets the high standard that permeates throughout the school. His leadership and willingness to meet each family where they are has kept us here and we look forward to seeing our little one continue to thrive under his and his team's guidance. Obviously, we hope there are some investments made into the facility, but in the meantime, we are happy to have found Australian Swim School and would encourage any new parent to trust them with their child.

    I'm extremely disappointed with how poorly this swim school maintains its facility…read more The front door has been broken for over a year. They can't keep the door closed while "unlocked," so it is routinely propped open. In the summer this might be tolerable, but in the winter when it's 46f outside the cold air pours directly inside while children are in the pool or getting in and out of the pool wet. I'm sitting there fully dressed, in a jacket, completely dr and I'm cold. I can't imagine how cold the kids are getting out of the pool. This has been going on far too long and is unacceptable from a health and safety standpoint. Maybe there is an agency that oversees this and they can be reported to. What's worse is that staff and coaches are not allowed to complain about these conditions because they'll be reprimanded. That puts parents in the position of watching obvious problems go unaddressed while management does nothing. The lack of concern for the kids wellbeing is frustrating. This isn't an isolated issue. The water fountain is leaking onto the concrete, just wasting water. The bathroom heaters broken for over three years, they now make noise but still don't generate any heat. Recurring pool heating issues The electrical closet constantly emits alarms and whistling noises Yet somehow money was found for a new iPad for checkin while basic infrastructure and safety issues are ignored. The coaches are great, and the kids love the lessons but the facility neglect overshadows everything. Until management prioritizes maintenance and the comfort and safety of children, I cannot recommend this swim school.

Carolina was extremely responsive during the lessons process, flexible, and gave so much advice when it came to my younger daughter who we agreed may not be ready for lessons just yet. I appreciated her honesty and thoughtfulness. She showed professionalism and her love of teaching kids in each lesson. We will definitely be calling her next year for my younger daughter's lessons. Highly recommend!

    I wish this review was a recorded testimonial instead of just typed text because RYAN deserves all…read moreof the praise in the world! He is the most exceptional swim instructor I've ever encountered and we had several before we decided to exclusively have our son swim with him. He is so patient, and does an exceptional job at balancing silliness to bond with the children and discipline to motivate the little swimmers to want to be better and level up to make him proud. My son has been coming to water wings since 9mo old but had to stop for a year due to ear infections. When he returned he was terrified to submerge his head under water and it was just by random chance that he was in a group class with Ryan! He quickly took to Ryan and would scream bloody murder if he didn't swim with his favorite instructor, so we opted for private lessons! It was at that point that everything took a huge turn! We had originally signed Jaxon up to be "water safe" but he was so motivated and built such an amazing bond with Ryan that he has stayed with him for now more than a year in a 1:1 setting and now wants to competitively swim. HE IS now the best swimmer in the house, and is far beyond his peers AND his older friends who are 7+. At THREE YEARS OLD our son has almost perfected the breaststroke, freestyle, 6 kick switches, dominates backstroke, is doing front flips diving into the water, tumble turn flips off the wall, can swim underwater, deep dive for objects, can hold his breath for more than 30 seconds and so much more! NOBODY has ever seen anything like this. Ryan is truly one of a kind and we will forever be grateful for all that he's done for Jaxon! The sky is the limit with such a brilliant instructor by his side! And Jaxon absolutely loves him and even misses him when he's not around lol Thank you Ryan, we adore you and appreciate your care and expertise!

She was still in the class with 4 year olds and is almost 6. Multiple kids she started with were moved up in an appropriate timeline but not her. Every time we spoke to them about it they said she was almost ready but never took any action. As someone else with a similar review mentioned, the beginners groups class teachers are useless and treat it as playtime instead of actually teaching my child how to properly swim. Or care enough to make sure she's moving up to a level where she can actually be challenged to grow instead of splash around with toddlers. We will never attend classes here again. We removed her and are going elsewhere.

My son had almost no experience in a pool before we started classes. He can also be extremely cautious and careful and usually takes longer than his peers to feel comfortable with a new situation. And then to make matters even worse, we tried another teacher right before Andy, who kept forcing my son's head underwater and ignoring his pleas for her to stop. So going into these classes my son was pretty on edge and would cry at almost every class for the first few weeks. But Andy was VERY patience with my son. Andy created the perfect balance of knowing when to play games and have fun and when to push my son to learn a new skill! Because of that balance, my son was able to learn a bunch of water skills, including jumping into the water and swimming back to the edge (helping him to be much more water safe), plus he now loves the water and loves swimming. He now wants his birthday party to be a pool party and he wants to be a Life Guard Scientist when he grows up. My son now has confidence in the pool and he loves it! And I feel much better about his safety at the pool because of the new skills he has learned!
