Im a PICU nurse I have seen and cried with many parents who were very carful but then find a child lifeless in a pool. This happens even when you are very safe. We put our 6 yr old grand son through 6 mo of swim lessons at the local Swim Tots school when he was almost 4. This is the first summer i am semi comfortable with him swimming with our his water wings. This was before we found Kristina. We just finished Kristinas 6 week water survival program with our 22mo old grandson on 8-26-21. He is able to swim under water flip over and float. Then turn back over to swim to the wall. He is even pulling him self up to his forearms at the side of the pool. We are so blessed to have found Water guppies infant survival swimming school. Our 3rd grandson was born 8-12-21 and we plan to place him next August 2022, in Kristina caring loving hands to learn the skills to be safe around water. Thankyou Kristina your the best. If anyone one woutlike to speak to another parent/grandparent who just finished please feel free and lookme up and IM me on Facebook. Jeanine Sporer

My baby just graduated from the infant "Babbles and Bubbles" class at AquaSafe Swim School, and we…read moreboth had a wonderful experience! Class is free for infants under 5 months, so this was what drew us to AquaSafe in the first place. I had no idea what to expect, but I was excited to find a free activity to do with my 3-month old. From the first class we attended, I was super impressed with how much was packed into a 30-minute time slot and how each activity supported our babies' development. In the two months that I had my daughter in this class, she has become much more comfortable and confident in the water. A huge shoutout to coach Steven! He was absolutely wonderful with each of the babies in class. Every session, he took the time to give individual attention and support to each baby, customizing the experience for their age and skill level. He had a great amount of knowledge about exactly how to modify activities to accommodate both younger and older babies. Steven made this such a fun and educational experience for everyone involved!

It's sad that I have to give this review. We started here back in 2016 with our first child when it…read morewas called, "Aqua Safe". It was solid, personable, and coaches actually enjoyed and cared for the kids growth. Fast forward to now, our oldest (8), middle child (4), and our youngest (2) have been loyal to this company for a long time. The facility was OK, we stayed because of the young coaches that taught our kids, also we don't like change in general . Since it was bought out from SafeSplash, we saw a decline in students, the vibes are off from the coaches, the parents/kids. The management cares more about the tasks not actually care of each kid. The new swim curriculum is weird and I don't see any improvement from my 2 and 4 year old boys compared to my 8 year old when he started with aqua Safe's curriculum. Finally, I don't recommend it this place anymore. It used to be awesome for the kids but now they're more focus on making money vs kids growth in swim. We're currently at Swimhaus Swim School and it's been amazing. Family local owned, which is huge plus for us!!

Miss Mermaid is an amazing instructor! We started our 3 year old in a swim school and then switched…read moreto Miss Mermaid. What a difference! In a very short amount of time, my child has learned so much more than I ever thought she would be able to at this age. I was impressed when, on the very first lesson, she began teaching my three year old how to hold her breath and put her face in the water, without force, but with gentle, patient and fun methods. I value Nancy's expertise in Red Cross certified safety and instruction, and trust her completely to teach my child the correct way to swim. Furthermore, my child absolutely loves her lessons with Nancy and looks forward to her swim lesson each week! Thanks to Miss Mermaid's expertise and instruction she is already floating on her own, holding her breath under water, learning the beginnings of different swim strokes, swimming under water to retrieve toys, among other things. I can't recommend Miss Mermaid's highly enough!

She started right before two and has never had any problems besides being sleepy and fussy about her nap schedules. So when people say "OH MY GOD THEY WATERBOARD YOUR KIDS" it all depends on the kids temperament and what they can handle. Both my kids are perfectly fine here. Also particular staff makes a HUGE difference. Believe me I've been here for well over 2 years minimum going on 3 if not longer. We have seen the staff turnaround snd there are personalities that work your kids and there are some that don't. That's when you switch teachers. We have done that with our son since he was younger. He stopped going because he is 5 and knows how to swim now. We only had him in swim as Something fun. But there's some people Who take it VERY SERIOUS like you are in the navy. So that's when we pulled the plug for our son. My kids are very goofy. So as long as my kids can swim that's the goal. Some peoples reviews are funny. I'd like to See those people put their kids in ISR and tell me they won't panic then. This is nothing compared to just dropping your kid in the pool.

We tried multiple times to register for swim lessons and had an incredibly frustrating experience…read more After calling three times, I finally spoke with the director, John, who admitted the pre-registration links on their newly redesigned website are broken and that this was a known issue. Unfortunately, the staff I spoke with prior to John were dismissive and unhelpful, simply directing me back to a website that doesn't work. It's discouraging to see so many positive reviews when new customers are unable to register at all. If you collect contact information and even credit card details but have no functional way to complete registration, it undermines trust and credibility. A business that cannot prioritize basic customer service and onboarding--especially when parents are trying to ensure safety and instruction for their children--misses the mark entirely. Very disappointing

With all due respect this place was not what I expected. Their marketing and online advertising is…read moreso good but it's a completely different story when you get there. My two main things were the class was being taught by what seemed a teenager. I'm already a nervous mom about putting my child in swimming lessons and then there's a teen teaching the class. I didn't treat her any different as I would a well experienced instructor so when I had questions I'd ask but wouldn't be able to answer some and seemed nervous. Secondly, their bathrooms are by no means clean or accommodating for babies. You'd think they would provide more supplies for babies. Their changing tables were the hard wall plastic ones you typically see in stores, however they were very dirty didn't even provide liners for the table. I had no option but to place my 5 month old on this har and dirty table. And there was nowhere to hang or place my diaper bag. Why is the only option I have to place it on the ground where there is potentially child urine everywhere? Let me not even begin to talk about the pool water..... Not coming back here again. Not even their 3 months free deal is worth it.....

I just think she needs to work on confidence since she still doesn't like to swim in the deep end of our pool. The facility is clean and the goldfish theme is cute, they even have a fish tank that my kids like to see. The lil table with books and crayons is a nice touch. There are good amenities - lots of changing rooms, a changing table, hair dryers and dryers for your swimsuits. I've never had issues with rescheduling classes if needed. Just keep in mind if you decide to stop with lessons but you still have a class or two to reschedule, they won't allow it. You must still be active. There is also a sibling discount if you have more than one child taking lessons here.

I am happy to report that evo mirrors the home lessons and I know she will gain so much skill and confidence doing evo.

The staff is very concerned with water safety and taught us some new things we did not know. My only tip is not everything is open at once- for example the bigger slides and lazy river weren't open when we were there so maybe call ahead so you know what you're getting. For us, it was okay because we were there with a toddler. Their smaller size didn't have a height requirement which was awesome!

The biggest difference was how much stricter everything seems to be now. Anyone under 17 has to take a swimming test just to use the diving boards, which honestly seems a little ridiculous, especially for older kids and teenagers who clearly know how to swim. Even the lazy river has become overly strict. In the past, I've always been able to enter from the exit if I was already right there, but now you absolutely MUST walk around and enter through the designated entrance. I understand having rules for safety, but some of these little things felt unnecessarily rigid and took away from the relaxed, fun atmosphere I remembered. The staff also seemed more annoyed and less friendly than during my previous visit. Nothing terrible happened, but the overall vibe was definitely different. I had such a great experience here two years ago, which is why I was excited to come back with my friends. Unfortunately, this visit just didn't live up to what I remembered. It feels like there are more rules, more restrictions, and a lot less of that easygoing, family-friendly atmosphere that made it so enjoyable before.

The owners and all the staff remember my daughter's name, greet her, let her act like they are celebrities, and make sure she has a good experience every single week. It's so hard to find things for my daughter to do outside of school that make her happy and where she feels welcome, and this is now the absolute highlight of every week.

He was attentive and took the necessary time to explain, and even had comments at the end for each individual swimmer. My son looked forward to coach Cory. One Saturday they switched over to coach Katie (I believe, I can't see a history) and she had someone with her to train maybe? They sped through everything in about 10 minutes....these classes are $25. There was no comments at the end, nothing. On top of everything these two girls talked and messed around the entire time. I tried again the following Saturday and it was the same girls. This time they had fake babies they had found and apparently named. They were throwing them at each-other and just playing with these babies the whole time and again speeding through everything while taking care of a fake baby. It was all very unprofessional and childish and awkward. This is a job, not a hang out sesh with your bestie. I ended up canceling because even my son did not like coach Katie.
