I've got nothing but great things to say about Wileena! My boys tried private swim lessons first,…read morebut they didn't go well because my youngest was extremely scared of the water, which was a total fail. We also gave lessons at the local country club a shot, but that didn't work out either because my youngest would freak out if water got on his face smh. Knowing how important knowing how to swim is, I asked if they wanted to try lessons again at the country club. My oldest had already learned to swim there, so he wasn't into it, and my youngest would only join in if his big brother was in the pool to take the lessons with him. So, while at the boy's school, I saw a flyer for Wileena offering home swim lessons. I called her right away, and we decided to give it a shot that week. No exaggeration! During the very first session, she had my youngest underwater, humming, pushing off the wall, kicking, and gliding underwater towards her. Considering he used to CRY when water even touched his face, this was a a miracle and my youngest did a complete 180. Wileena is like a miracle worker with these kids and lowkey turned this kid into a mermaid (can mermaids be boys? I just googled and they're Merman lol). They trust her, feel comfy, and she just has this great positive vibe! I can't say enough about her patience and encouragement. Her prices are fair, and it's totally worth it to keep your kids safe in the water. I totally recommend Wileena if you're in the San Fernando Valley! OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

Allyson (Safe Waves Swim) is the BEST! At my 3yr old's trial lesson, she had him floating on his…read moreback on his own. At the 1st official lesson, she had him jumping in the pool and flipping over to his back to float COMPLETLEY UNASSISTED! I seriously can't believe how fast she taught him! In full disclosure, in Summer 2023, we enrolled him in a water wings class for 2 months. In Summer 2024, we signed him up with a different 1 on 1 private instructor for a few months. So, my son had familiarity with swim lessons, but he had never been able to float or do much of anything on his own in the water. I mean, he is still working on blowing water bubbles becuase he hates putting his face in the water. So, to see Allyson *magically* had him doing all this with 2 lessons... I mean, I have no words to express my appreciation! She knows what she is doing! She is teaching life saving skills first! And she has a totally laid back and straight forward, no nonsense demeanor that I just respect so much! After the trial lesson, I bought a 10 lesson package and I'm looking forward to all that she is going to teach my son this summer!! Thank you, Allyson!!

My daughter has been attending Safe Waves Swim School since January 25', starting right after she…read moreturned one, and I couldn't be more grateful for this experience. As a parent, the first few lessons were honestly a little hard--watching my baby adapt to a new environment, especially water, can be nerve-wracking. What made all the difference was Allyson. Her professionalism, experience, patience, and genuine care for my baby girl was truly remarkable. Over time, I watched my daughter transform from hesitant to confident, excited, and enthusiastic about her abilities. She now absolutely loves being in the water. Allyson has a special way with children that immediately puts parents at ease. Knowing my child is developing such an invaluable life skill gives me immense peace of mind. It's reassuring to know she's learning water safety early and building confidence that will carry her throughout her life. I highly recommend Allyson to any parent looking for a nurturing, skilled, and trustworthy place for their child to learn to swim.

I recently enrolled my 6 year old son in swim classes at Water Otters Swim School, and he has been…read morehaving an amazing time learning to swim. They truly meet each child where they are. My son is currently working on remembering his breathing while swimming, and I have already seen great progress. His instructor, Reya, is wonderful with him. She keeps him motivated and offers plenty of verbal praise, which is exactly what he responds to. The facility is very family friendly. There are changing cabanas available to use after class, and the pool area is shaded with plenty of space for parents or guardians to comfortably watch. Classes are 20 minutes long and offered on either a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule or a Tuesday and Thursday schedule, which makes it easy to find something that works. They also offer parent and me classes for babies on the weekends. The owner, Jennifer, is so kind and clearly pours her heart into what she does. You can truly feel her passion for swim safety and for creating a supportive space for kids to learn and grow. We are so grateful we found Water Otters. It has been such a meaningful experience watching my son build confidence in the water.

Jeremiah makes it a point to learn not only every kids name but every single parent. He's really out there giving it his all. My 1.5 is so happy to get in the pool every weekend and my 6 year old is finally getting enough confidence to put his face in the water. He really came a long way and everyone was very patient and encouraging to him. (The 24 hour fitness has its own issues but regardless of that, the BSS staff tries to make everyone as comfortable as possible because some of the gym goers can be a little prickly)

Coach Rasha has been beyond incredible for our family. In just 6 lessons, our 8-year-old went from…read morebeing scared to go underwater to actually enjoying it. Now he's doing handstands, building real confidence, and even going into the deep end -- something we never thought we'd see this soon. After spending two years in swim school with very little progress, this truly feels like the best money we've ever spent. We realized that we're actually spending less with these one-on-one private lessons with Coach Rasha and getting more out of each lesson than the swim schools -- We honestly joke that we should've asked the swim school for a refund on all that time and money. Working with Coach Rasha has been a complete game changer and we can't imagine going back to swim schools ever again. We're so grateful we found her and are already looking forward to having our youngest learn with her too. She's patient, encouraging, and amazing with kids.
