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.

We started at 7 months old almost a year ago and can say that this is the best decision we've made…read morefor our baby's development!! 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.

Before I get into the nitty gritty - I want to say that at one point on Yelp, I thought that most…read moreReviews were fake and / or written by the company owners / employees. Now that I'm used to using Yelp, I know that they are not! People are honest and leaving the reviews based off of their experience. And that is what I'm doing here today. I am an adult who has never learned how to swim. After looking up countless swim sites, I settled on AquaMobile Swim School. They are affordable and convenient swim lessons conducted at YOUR home. Lets be honest, learning how to swim (especially as an adult) can be pretty embarrassing. But the confinement of your home allows you to relax and feel comfortable. PLUS - AquaMobile Swim School allows you to pick your instructor! I LOVED that! After picking my instructor and paying the fees, my lessons were booked. An hour later, I received a phone call from the instructor (Ellen B.) She introduced herself, asked me questions about myself and my swimming experience. During our first lesson, we went over kicking, blowing bubbles / breathing, and freestyle stroke. We finished our second lesson earlier this morning and I can honestly say ... I can swim! It may not be as swift as Michael Phelps, but I can swim! We practiced with a noodle initially, but by the time our one hour lesson finished, I was able to swim on my own. I still get nervous every now and then, but Ellen reassures me that she is right there by my side and I'm doing well. Some people give false hope and continuously say "Oh you're doing great! Keep up the good work! You're really getting the hang of this..... etc" But what I love about Ellen is that she's been honest with me from the beginning. "You need to kick a little harder. You aren't breathing properly. You are sinking because you aren't kicking as hard as you need to... etc" When I was able to swim on my own today, she shared my excitement! Being 27 years old, that made me happy! You never want to complete a lesson with someone who isn't passionate about what they are doing. If all instructors are like Ellen B., look no further! AquaMobile Swim School is where you need to schedule your At Home Swim Lessons! I initially booked Ellen B. for five lessons, but I think I will extend it to ten lessons to improve my strokes.

Had my children enrolled last year. They do the classes in the HOA pools. The first lesson was…read moreso bad that I tried to cancel but there were no refunds. There were 2 small children plus a older child and the instructor basically was giving a private lesson to the older child while the 2 younger children were just sitting on the side. After I complained, they moved us to a different location. The lessons were better at the 2nd location but the whole operation was very amateur. The locations are very distracting because there are many people swimming who live in the communities. I happen to notice that they would start late and end early. The classes are only my 30 minutes and they were shaving off 5-8 minutes and when I confronted the instructor, she said we need time to get ready for the next class which is bull because there are only a few kids in the class and they just jump in the water and it begins. The instructor also was very petty and mentioned that she my son hit her in the face with googles which was tossing it back to her after class. There are other better schools in the area that have their own facility and are basically the same price.

He's currently working on feeling comfortable submerging his head entirely under water and diving. He's showed so much progress thus far and I'm so proud of him! I plan to keep our son enrolled for a while since there are different levels at aqua swim.
