"My son loved his instructors and had such a great time learning how to swim. I felt there was a great student to teacher ratio and the instructors were all amazing, knowledgeable, and friendly."

"The swim lessons were great! I love how the instructors had small groups because this allowed each child to focus on the skill being taught and get help and one on one with the skill. The pool space was large and so each age group had plenty of room to practice the skills that were being taught by the instructors."
