Swim Lessons Reviews from Our Start Swimming Families
"Can't say enough good things about this wonderful swimming school. My grandchildren have blossomed there, and are loving everything about it. Even the youngest, a three-year-old, is making great progress. The best accolades are saved for Barbara, their teacher! Competent, patient, wonderful with children of all ages, especially the very young. Also, the facilities are top notch. We couldn't be more pleased."

"This is an awesome family owned swim school. We have been attending their classes for two years! The instructors are excellent. Students can practice their skills before or after lessons too! No more wrangling siblings while they wait for their turn."

"My boys love it here, and Coach Barbara is excellent at teaching them. My son was able to do his BSA swim test here also, and Coach Barbara helped him get ready for the test."

"We've been coming here year round for 3 years now, we could not imagine having our kids take lessons anywhere else. Great, clean facilities and the Start Swimming family is simply THE BEST! My daughters adore their coaches. It makes me so happy to see my kids become confident swimmers with the right amount of caution in the water."

"This is where to take your kids for swim, period. Coach Barb and Coach Jason have taught my girls since they were little. They taught them to swim and then made them excellent in all four strikes. They are wonderful instructors for all ages, they truly care for their students, and you simply will not find better swim instructors anywhere. They work with all ages and abilities, new swimmer or refined strokes, and also work with various special needs students. I'm forever grateful to know them!!
And just FYI as a bonus perk: once you are enrolled in lessons, they allow you to come and practice in the pool anytime they are open!"
