From the start we loved how each instructor was so patient with our daughter. She came a little older at 8 years old and terrified of pools and was very anxious. From April to December they slowly but surely got her comfortable and taught her confidence in the water. We watched her go from nervous to excited every week. The best instructor was Mr. Seth. He was always incredibly kind, positive, friendly and motivating. Aubree really took to him and was swimming and diving by her last session. I can't say enough good things about this school and how it has carried over into other areas of her life. We noticed her anxiety decreased, her softball skills increased and an overall improvement in awareness. HANDS DOWN WORTH THE MONEY. Thank you to all the instructors that took the care and time to help Aubree-we are so grateful.

Our daughter works with coach Josh and he is amazing! We started with the guppy class and then graduated into individual lessons. Coach Josh works with your child's comfort level, while also challenging them in a safe and positive way when they show signs of readiness. I have also observed the staff/coaches be very engaging, sweet, and understanding with children who are on the spectrum or have learning disabilities. I wish I could give this business more stars! It is well worth the wait of enrollment.

Thank you Kris!

While Kris and her team are passionate about swim instruction, I came here to say that I think it…read moreis INCREDIBLY important that anyone seeking to take lessons here with a young child, say under 3, understands that Kris uses ISR training. PLEASE PLEASE research for yourself whether ISR is right for you and your child. (After my own research and consultation with numerous other swim experts- literally a drowning expert witness- it is NOT as safe as FVSA or other ISR experts will claim it is). Personally-- it was not for me or my child. It was traumatic for her, caused MORE fear of the water than she originally had, and she took in too much water and puked during 3 separate lessons and Kris brushed it off as normal (and I soon was assured by NUMEROUS swim coaches and medical professionals that it is NOT). When I expressed concerns, I DO appreciate that Kris seemed receptive, however, her teaching style is just not compatible with how I want my daughter handled. I wish this were different because I do think Kris is a passionate, very good person and maybe this teaching style works for some, and potentially for older children. But if you are starting with a child under 3, please beware that it is difficult to watch and in MY opinion after a LOT of research, does not provide the long term safety alleged by ISR advocates.

I had previously had her enrolled in swimming lessons but saw no growth in the few months we were attending. In the first month I saw her learn and apply her techniques. I appreciate the ability to make up a class within 30 days and ability to switch classes based off of availability. They do monthly check ins with your child to see their progress and promote them to the next level once they are ready. Each level has its own set of techniques/longer second increments of specific skills as well.

We are so sad to not be close enough to continue lessons here. Also, by having another swim school to compare to now since the move... I'll just say that I regularly miss the team here.

I'm shocked at how quickly my baby learned and was so grateful to have someone like Amy teaching her. We had a really bad experience with another swim coach who was careless with our child and was not paying attention to her while in the water. I will be bringing all of my babies to Amy. I can't recommend her enough if you are looking for someone to teach your child to float or swim!! I will say it is hard to watch as a parent, if you have a baby they definitely are going to cry and not enjoy the process but I'd much rather my daughter cry for 10 mins a day for 3 weeks then to loose her in a drowning accident. The skills they learn give them a fighting chance if (God forbid) they were to fall in a pool unsupervised. If you're looking for someone you can actually trust with your kids and going to get you results quickly without stringing you along for months and months, Amy is your girl!!
