A couple times of sucking water up her nose in the bath had me worried that she would be scared. We have rotated through many instructors at this point and they have all been great in their own way! I appreciate how each one takes the time to explain WHY we are doing the next activity and what gross/fine motor skills we are working on. I also appreciate that there is a new lesson plan every 2 weeks. We went to a different swimming company for a month prior to switching to Swim Safari and I felt like we were aimlessly doing the same few activities over and over and I never understood what we were trying to achieve because the instructors were not explaining anything. Every single employee is welcoming and has taken the time to know and remember my daughter. It has been a great outlet for her to make new friends as well. She has made great improvements since starting and soon she will be going into the water without me! We have also been thankful for the amount of class options, both the days and times. Keeping a toddler on a schedule is important! My ONLY suggestion is that the locker rooms could be a little warmer. It gets cold when your soaking wet and have to get a toddler dressed first.

He has learned so much and shown so much improvement w motor skills and excitement for the water. I love the variety they have in activities and are thoughtful on the different tactics to practice survivor experiences as well as strength. Of course we do have our favorite teachers, but all of them really are well trained, friendly and pay great attention to the students. They have great changing stations, plenty of room to prepare before class and clean-up after - even for the parents, since we have to join the baby classes till they can attend on their own. We only have 1 kid, but we see how parents of 2 or more are enjoying bringing their kids to attend classes around similar times. Our only complaint is that the school is so far from us!! I wish they had more branches on the west / north side - but we tried other swimming schools but they either don't have well trained teachers, host classes in adult gyms (which I don't feel comfortable with), or lack a strong community. So that's why we choose to make the average 1.3 hour commute (total) every week bc it's worth it.

I really wanted this program to work, but unfortunately, it fell short--especially for toddlers…read more Despite the instructor being kind and professional, she seemed unprepared to work with very young children. My two-year-old showed little progress, and the sessions often felt disorganized. At times, I had to step in and ask, "What should we be doing next?" Meanwhile, my daughter would wander out of the pool, and I found myself chasing her while the instructor struggled to keep her engaged. It became clear that the instructor didn't have experience with toddlers--something she later confirmed by saying she had only worked with children as young as eight. This program may be better suited for older kids, but it should not advertise itself as appropriate for children under six. Overall, it was a disappointing experience

I received emails regularly letting me know that they were finding me an instructor and even when I'd call in the representatives who I spoke with made it sound like it was going to happen. Lies
