Swim Lessons Reviews from Our Start Swimming Families
"My daughter has been attending swim lessons at Start Swimming for about 6 months now. She absolutely loves all of the staff and it has become the highlight of her week. All of the instructors are great with kids of all ages. They also have (free) open swim time throughout the week for extra practice."

Carrie C., Yelp Review
"Recently switched to StartSwimming after several years swimming at a larger program in the area and have been beyond pleased with that decision. Super impressed at the quality of swim instructors, the cleanliness of the facility and most importantly, the kids LOVE swim lessons again. Lessons are affordable and they even have a lane for the kids to independently play/practice before and after their lesson. highly recommend Start Swimming!"

"Coach Jason turned my 3yo from being timid in water and clinging to me, to jumping in and swimming to me under water in a short time. We previously went to big chain school and my daughter would cry and ask to leave before we even finished the lesson. Swimming lessons are the highlight of her week. They are patient, teach safety, and actually have FuN with the kids during lessons and during open swim time."

Selina B., Yelp Review
"We love it at START Swimming!! My 3 year old was terrified to even get in the water much less get his face wet. We signed him up hoping for the best. We absolutely got the best coaches and experience. My terrified son who usually takes a long time to adapt to new people was jumping in the pool, going under water, and trying new things by the second lesson. The coaches are absolutely phenomenal- patient, knowledgeable, and reliable. We wouldn't go anywhere else now."

"My wife and I have tried 4 different swim schools for our daughter and this is the best one we have been to so far! The instructors are amazing and personable and they work with swimmers of all ages. There is a true family environment and all of the students seem to enjoy and actually learn to swim. Try this place out, it is awesome!"

Justin J., Yelp Review
"We come here twice a week and have now for months and are very thankful that it is here. The coaches are wonderful and the peace of mind is priceless. We are confident in our children being around the water now...we will be able to start one son in swim team this year (very early at 4) and his older brother has been going as well and he's definitely a much stronger swimmer now and will be more prepared to enjoy swim team this year.

Clint H., Yelp Review
"My 4 year old went from not being able to swim last fall, to being able to swim across the pool completely by herself. I am so glad I found this place. Between both of my kids, we have worked with most of the coaches. They are all so amazing and great to work with. My son has a chromosome disorder and was terrified of water before coming here. The owner is now his current coach. I am so thankful that they are helping him get over this fear, as we are a very big water family. We will continue to go here for a very long time. I recommend them to anyone we know."

"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."

Kacey C., Google Review
"Such wonderful, patient, and knowledgeable instructors. My oldest son learned to swim at 5 year's old and was afraid of putting his head underwater. Now he's a fish swimming to the bottom of the pool. Started my youngest in their parent/child class and he's now in their preschool class. He learns so much every class and looks forward to swim class every week. The instructors are gentle but firm which helps my strong willed boy learn."

"Coach Jason, Coach Barbara, and Coach Kathy have been instrumental in shaping our boys into the swimmers they’ve become. We started with intro to water safety courses when they first opened, and now have our oldest (age 8) in the stroke and turn level to refine his skills for competitive swimming. We have absolutely loved this school, and the small classes/competitive pricing has kept us around since they opened!"
