I highly recommend Nicole as a swim instructor…read more Before taking lessons with her, I had already tried learning how to swim two or three times, but I never really succeeded. After just six one-hour lessons with Nicole, everything changed. In the very first lesson, she taught me how to float, which immediately helped me feel much safer and more comfortable in the water. Over the next few lessons, she taught me breaststroke, freestyle, and backstroke. More importantly, Nicole completely changed the way I feel about swimming. I used to be afraid of the water, but she helped me feel safe, relaxed, and confident. Now I actually look forward to swimming. Nicole is incredibly patient, encouraging, and excellent at explaining things in a way that is easy to understand. I never imagined I could make so much progress in such a short time. Thank you, Nicole!

To say this program is life saving doesn't begin to show my gratitude and appreciation for this…read morefoundation. Peter will teach your child to swim in 5 days without question. Before my son (who just turned 2) started the program he had no fear of the water and would try to jump in the water with absolutely NO idea how to swim. Which as a parent was terrifying. I knew I needed help. Traditional swimming lessons weren't working, if anything it was making things much worse by accentuating his love of water with a false sense of security. Peter and his program changed everything!!! By the end of the FIRST day with his training, my son was swimming to the side of the pool. His life saving techniques and true water safety program is nothing you have ever seen. If you want your child to be truly safe in the water, look no further. Call him today and see for yourself!!!

Peter is the real deal. If you want to skip months and months of traditional training, he will…read moredemonstrate to you that your kids will swim on the first day. I guarantee you've never seen anything like this. It's hard to watch the first time, but the results speak for themselves. After being initially scared, by the end of the first day my kids couldn't wait for their turn, and they would brag to everyone at their daycare that they are going to swimming lessons with Professor Pete. If your kids are stubborn or try to circumvent the instructions, Peter won't let them get away with it to save you the headache of correcting bad habits in the future. By the end of the program, your kids will forget about the hard part, and you will have videos of the swimming sessions as proof that you are not exaggerating when you tell people that your kids started swimming on the first day. The total program lasts four days, but you can finish it in three days if your kids are fast learners. You can tell Peter is passionate about his work and knows more about human psychology than your average swimming instructor. He will teach you all kinds of fascinating information about the way the mind actually works, instead of how you assume it works, so his teaching method will make sense in the end, despite seeming counter-intuitive at first glance. I am thoroughly impressed with Peter and want other people to experience the same thing that I experienced. The only downside to all this is that my kids make me go to the pool all the time now. This program will give you pride in your kids.

Parents!!! If you're looking for a swim instructor for your kid(s), loved ones, or yourself, you…read morecan stop looking! I highly recommend you sign up for lessons with Josh! He's great with people, especially with kids! My daughter loved her lessons with him. He tailored her lessons to meet her needs. His teaching techniques are so different and that helped developed my daughter ability to follow instructions (she can be stubborn at times). It's like he's just playing her, but she's building swimming skills and confident in the water. We will be back with him next year in the spring for sure. One summer and she's swimming on her own. Even in the deep end (5 feet zone)! I'm no longer worries knowing she's able to float, swim on her back (her fav), tread water, and cannon balls.

Last summer my son started surf lessons and Josh was very patient. Josh taught my son outside and in the water.

I highly recommend Josh as he teaches all ages-baby to adults, all behavior manners and is fun!

With just a few sessions with him, my kid was able to pick up skills which would have taken her a very long time to do so at the previous swim school. Caleb's teaching technique is efficient and he makes it so much fun for kids!!! I highly recommend him!

Caleb is the best! We have had such a wonderful experience learning to swim with him. We started…read moreworking with him last year after stopping group lessons because our kids were not progressing. Both of our boys (age 3 and 5) absolutely loved their time with him and looked forward to their lessons. Caleb is incredibly friendly, patient, and makes each lesson fun and engaging. What we really appreciated was how much he genuinely cares about our kids and how he took the time to connect with them and build their confidence in the water while also teaching and emphasizing water safety. He is always punctual and professional and we feel so lucky to have had him as our teacher! We highly recommend him to any family looking for a caring and dedicated swim instructor!

The first day we took her, I'm not going to lie I was a little concerned because, it was her first day and she was with two other kids that had been going for a while based on them knowing the instructors already. The instructor right away started dunking her into the water and to be honest, that caught me and my little girl off guard. When class ended, I decided to give the instructor the benefit of the doubt because he knew what he was doing. We kept taking her and explained how she had never been in swimming or anything, her instructor Joss is amazing. She builds rapport with the kiddos right away and at least in our experience, she changed my mind about taking her any more. And my daughter now actually loves going. I definitely recommend this place.

After a really negative experience at…read moreanother swim program (Aquatots), my daughter was left scared and resistant to getting in the water. A friend recommended Blue Buoy, and I am SO glad we gave it a try. From the very first trial class with Coach Turner, my daughter felt comfortable and safe. She usually hates putting her head in the water, but with his gentle guidance and encouragement, she did it without hesitation--something I never thought I'd see so soon! We've now been coming for 2 months, and the progress she has made is incredible. Not only has her confidence grown, but her skills in the water have improved so much. The staff is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about the kids. The environment feels warm and supportive, which makes all the difference. Coach turner really knows how to work with the kiddos ! If you're looking for a swim school that builds trust, confidence, and real results, Blue Buoy is the place to go. I'm so thankful we found them!
