    Amber is absolutely fantastic with my daughter who is a little over 4 y/o. She's incredibly busy but still managed to book lessons for my daughter right away! I don't know how she did it but my daughter would not even let go of us in the water and had never put her face in the water before. From her first lesson she was completely comfortable with Amber and after just a few lessons, was putting her face in the water and taking off her floatie the second half of the lesson. It has been a completely positive experience and I'm so excited for the day she's just swimming underwater on her own! Amber always responds to texts and is always on time or even early for lessons. Her patience with my daughter is incredible and we are just so grateful to have found her!

    Wiki Wiki Swim School is great! Booking lessons online was easy, and our instructor Amber was excellent. She was very professional, working out a schedule was easy. Amber was always on time and very patient with my 1yr old son who can be quite a handful. I no longer worry about him falling into the pool as he can swim back to the side and crawl out on his own. I can not believe the progress he's made over the summer & I am so thankful to Wiki Wiki and especially Amber.

    Aloha Amber, I wonder if I can not register this private swim class for my 7 years old boy if I can not provide the pool? Thank you!

    Aloha! Unfortunately at this time we are not able to provide a facility. We are only accepting students that have access to a pool that allows swim lessons. Examples are condo pools, club pools, home pools.

    Here's my review published in the September 2013 print Hawaii Sport Mag. issue…read morehttp://issuu.com/hawaiisportmag/docs/hawaii_sport_sept_2013_print : PRODUCT: Swim Hawaii - Adult Beginner's Swim and Advance Freestyle Stroke Technique AT: Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex UH Manoa WHEN/TIME FRAME: June 15 - July 31, 2013 COST: $15/class WHERE TO BUY LOCALLY: www.SwimHawaii.com - taught at UH Manoa Aquatics DESCRIPTION: Group swim classes for kids and adults (taught separately) for beginner's and advance levels. Adult Beginner's Swim PROS: 1) Classes are limited to a maximum of five students. Small class sizes allow for individual attention from instructors - also great because you get your money's worth. 2) Classes are Saturdays at 30 minute intervals with two time slots: 4:30 to 5pm and 5 to 5:30pm; providing just enough time for participants to learn without overstraining. CONS: 1) Parking is limited. Cost is $6.00 flat at the UH campus parking Structure, $4.00 flat at Puck's Alley or $2.00 for two hours at Church of the Crossroads (Diamond Parking Service). Otherwise, street parking is an option but it can be hard to find, depending on your class time. I know many people that can swim. But I do not know many people that know HOW to swim. The difference between being able to swim and knowing how to swim, is technique. I started the class with strokes that were jelly-like, laughable and my body movement in the water was overall very strange. I had learned to swim from friends and family with very little swimming teaching experience. Their advice was to just hang out in the water and it will come naturally. That might be true when it comes to feeling comfortable and floating, however, a skill needs to be studied, analyzed and refined. After only being in the class for seven weeks, I am already feeling extremely comfortable in the water. My freestyle stroke is decent and my body composition is much, much better than when I had started. I still have a few more classes to go before being able to swim from one length of the pool to the opposite end, but I will get there! Adult Advance Freestyle Stroke Technique PROS: 1) Freestyle Stroke Mechanics are divided into 8 parts, and spread out over an 8-week course. 2) The class videotapes participant's strokes above-water. A review and critique for improvement session is conducted in the following class. Also included is a lecture highlighting correct stroke patterns and common defects. 3) In addition to learning and focusing on different topics each week, the last 15 minutes of class is devoted to "interval training". This class structure encourages and forces participants to push harder than they would when training on their own time in a pool and in the ocean. This allows students to see constant improvement each week, preparing them for a race, to advance to the next fitness level or just for fun. CONS: 1) Parking is limited. The first lesson I learned in this class was interval swimming. When it comes to swimming, interval training is much different than interval training on foot. The concept is based on intense swimming within a given time frame and a given distance. The recovery period is the small window you are awarded within your given time frame when you reach the end of the set distance. In other words, your rest period is based on how much effort you place into getting to the end of your distance based on the time left over. If you are curious about this concept, I highly suggest giving the class a shot. You may join the class at anytime. Check out www.SwimHawaii.com to see how you can sign-up. WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT? Absolutely Yes. REASON(S): I have already recommended Swim Hawaii to one friend who is currently enrolled in the Advance Freestyle Technique class. Two additional friends will be enrolled in the upcoming Adult Beginner's Swim class. RATING (0-5; 0 being terrible, 5 being as good as it gets): 5 - As good as it gets!

    Absolute 5 + Stars for the coaches!!!…read more Coach Katie was wonderful; she taught my daughter how to swim and helped her fall in love with the water! Now we're with Coach Lucy Boone, who's also fantastic!!! It's amazing to see how much she learns in just 30 minutes each week. We're so thankful for both coaches! However, it was quite challenging to get ahold of the management office. Hope it will change in a better way over time. Overall, we're so grateful for both coaches and will continue to support them!

    This company is a special one. Make sure you read the fine print and speak to someone in person…read morebefore booking and pay for their service. They have no problem taking your money without providing without the service. They have a simple clause on the website, **NO REFUNDS**. Back story, I requested (6) private swimming lessons at (approx. $500). Their website says they travel anywhere to do the lessons. However, they primarily use Ala Moana Beach Park &Palama Settlement Pool. I live in the Pearl City area, and we have several community pools. Swim Lesson Hawaii  state they can't teach at those pools. It was not listed on the website. I found out after the fact. Because of my work and family obligations, I would not be able to drive to Honolulu (2-3) a week for lessons.  So I asked for a refund, and they said NO REFUND.  I did understand because nothing was scheduled, and they were not at a lose for answering the phone. I fully understand if a date had been scheduled or I had started the lesson plan and drop out. These all occurred in 48 hours. This was a money grab. Beware!!!

He catered his lesson to their own individual skill and comfort level in the water so they didn't feel scared or intimidated at all. We will absolutely book more lessons with him when we are back on the island! I highly recommend him for any swim lessons your family may need!

    We have had the privilege of working with Brandon for the past four years during our annual…read moreHawaiian vacation, and we truly cannot say enough great things about him. He has coached both of our daughters -- now 4 and 7 -- and the transformation has been remarkable. Both girls started with a real fear of the water, and Brandon had such a natural, thoughtful way of gently pushing them forward at just the right pace. He always seemed to know exactly what each of them needed to build confidence without feeling overwhelmed. Thanks to Brandon, both girls are now water safe, have learned to swim, and continue to improve their strokes every year. But what really sets him apart is that he makes every single lesson genuinely fun. These are kids on vacation -- there are a million other things competing for their attention -- and yet they look forward to their lessons with him every time. That truly says it all. If you are looking for a swim instructor who is skilled, patient, creative, and just wonderful with kids, Brandon is your person. We feel so lucky to have found him and cannot imagine our trips to Hawaii without him!

My daughter has been a student here for a couple years and she has improved greatly! The location isn't too bad. The only downside is that parking can suck depending if there's an event happening at the community center. The staff at Leahi is amazing. Ashley, who works the front desk almost always and helps with registration is amazing. She's so personable and treats everyone like family! She and the pool staff made accommodations to help my daughter feel comfortable during her first lessons without a parent. The staff in the pool has been amazing and accommodating. Kiki - who graduated HS and is no longer working there, really helped my daughter with her confidence and really helped her literally every step of the way. Sage was so fun and very enthusiastic! Ashley (in the pool) also helped my daughter gain confidence when my daughter was really swimming on her own. Koa is awesome and really makes you feel so welcomed too! I also do commend the owners as well. I was at the pool one day when there was a troubled parent/grand parent asking why her student couldn't move up levels. Even though this customer was clearly frustrated and maybe a little angry with the owner, the owner explained why so calmly that the requirements aren't just there just cause - it's for safety too!! Open swim is always nice, usually Saturdays at 4pm. It does get crowded so either come super early or late!

These two factors alone is what my son was able to achieve. Located in a quiet pearl city community behind their community center, you'll find leahi swim. A very clean pool deck area and pool. The staff here is always welcoming and are known as Aunties and Uncle's to the kids. The kids here can start off below 3 years old but if they are they must attend the class with the parent. 3+ may attend classes that fits their swim level and skills. When I enrolled my son he was at the level of not being able to put his head under water on his own and he absolutely hated splashes. He just could never get his face wet! So he started beginner I. After a little over a year and about 6 seasons, he's now able to go underwear ingredients voluntarily and swim across the pool! Can never forget his "Pizzas, Tummy, Slice", "Ice Creams", and Foggy Legs techniques plus more. He got to the level we wanted him to finally reach and I can't thank the staff here enough with helping brayden get to the level he is at now (Advanced Beginner II). With all the familiar faces, they still greet Brayden even when he's not in his classes. You'll even see co owner Ben jump into the water and teach a class or two when there's not enough instructors for the day. At the end of each season on the last day it's also "Medal Day!" When kiddos complete their season, they get a medal! Including the babies. A tip for this school, it may be very hard to get enrolled for your first class and may be on a wait list. However once you're enrolled, you get early registration before public for each season going forward. They have an online system with their high volumes of enrollment as well that you'll learn as you do and they provide a flyer every season as well to follow along.

He was extremely responsive and answered all my questions over the phone before the first lesson. He is very patient, always came on time and had a face mask on for every lesson. After each lesson, he would message me on my teens progress. Jay was very easy to work with and I felt he and I were able to work together to achieve our goals. It was also very easy and convenient to pay for our lessons via payment app. Our teen passed on the first try!!!

    Jay is an amazing instructor for both beginners and experienced drivers…read more I had to take the drivers road test after having a drivers license in the US for 26 yrs in 3 States (NJ HI CA ) , during COVID my CA license expired so the quickest way to get a HI license was to retake both written and practical tests all over again I was shocked I failed the 1st time I took the driving test in Kapolei . Since I was desperate to get a drivers license ASAP since I needed a 2nd form of govt issued ID for passport renewal so I was referred to to Jay and only spent 1 (90min) session with him to give me tips on how to pass and took me to the exact route where I was testing in Sheridan (2021) and passed ! I actually learned a lot from him despite being a licensed driver since I was 16yo (took HI drivers test at age 49) My daughter recently passed her drivers test as well and Jay made her drive confidently having had a PTSD/ fear of driving due to a car accident we had years ago when she was in 3rd grade which stopped her from wanting to learn how to drive and Jay was very patient in teaching her and now drives safely, confidently and very courteous driver on the road ! Awesome job Jay! You're very good and patient instructor ! I have highly recommended you to all my friends!
