    The backyard and pool they use. Very nice and clean!
    Madison H.

    We had a really good experience with this swim school! My son had tried another swim school before this and didn't learn anything! My son has no swim experience and used floaties before. Within the second day my son was already very comfortable and swimming much better! The coaches were sweet and attentive. Miss Colleen is very sweet and I would definitely recommend this school to you!!!

    From parent waiting area. Beautiful view

    We had such a wonderful experience at Colleen's Swim School! Colleen and her coaches are absolutely amazing. Our 6-year-old son, who has a speech delay, started out very timid--but in just a few sessions he went from hesitantly putting his face in the water to swimming independently. Out of the 3 sessions we attended, 2 were noticeably outstanding, and we're already planning to return every summer as long as we're in California. Her pool is heated, has a safety gate around it, and she's incredibly attentive. You can tell she takes safety seriously and catches things quickly, which gives us so much peace of mind. I also loved being able to sit and watch, and I noticed her working so patiently with a wide range of kids, including those with special needs. She truly meets each child where they're at. As a pediatric ICU respiratory therapist, I can't stress enough how important water safety is--there's no second chance in the water. Please, parents, prioritize swim lessons for your children. Colleen and her team make it such a positive, safe, and confidence-building experience. Highly recommend!

    We had such a great experience with Coleen and her team this summer! The coaches are incredibly patient, encouraging, and truly know how to connect with kids. My son enjoyed his lessons so much that we signed him up for a second session. He's now totally comfortable with water on his face and even feels confident swimming in the deep end--huge progress for him! Highly recommend these lessons to any parent looking for a fun and supportive swim program.

    We have had such an amazing time at Colleen's swim school! I actually learned to swim with coach colleen over 20 years ago and now I brought my 13 month old to swim classes. The parent and me class has been so fun and I've learned a lot of strategies to help my daughter be more confident in the water. It is crazy how much she has learned in just two weeks! We also love the environment and how relaxing it is waiting for class to start. My mom is in a wheelchair and it was so special to me that the area is accessible and she was able to come watch. Coach Colleen and her team of helpers are so patient and knowledgeable. We will be back next year!

    She's a swimmer! Thank you Colleen!

    Miss Colleen had my daughter swim across the deep end, independently, in no time. My daughter looks forward to returning every summer.

    We have absolutely loved our experience here! My son is 18 months old now and started swim lessons…read morewhen he was 16 months. We have a pool at home, so learning water safety was a huge priority for our family. Looking back, I only wish we had started even sooner. The progress he has made in just a couple of months has been incredible. He can float better than most adults I know, and he's already learned how to roll over onto his back and float if he falls into the water. Watching him develop these lifesaving skills has given us so much more confidence around the pool. Like many toddlers, he still cries during some lessons and reaches for me, especially when he's learning a new skill. But I've come to realize that's because he's being challenged, and growth isn't always comfortable. Once he mastered floating, he actually stopped crying for several lessons. Now that he's working on a new skill, the tears have returned a bit which is completely normal. Kris is patient, encouraging, and always makes sure he is safe while helping him build confidence. I truly appreciate how focused the program is on real water safety, not just having fun in the pool. Seeing what my son is capable of at only 18 months old has been amazing. I would highly recommend these lessons to any parent, especially if you have a pool or spend time around water. It's one of the best investments we've made for our son's safety.

    While Kris and her team are passionate about swim instruction, I came here to say that I think it…read moreis INCREDIBLY important that anyone seeking to take lessons here with a young child, say under 3, understands that Kris uses ISR training. PLEASE PLEASE research for yourself whether ISR is right for you and your child. (After my own research and consultation with numerous other swim experts- literally a drowning expert witness- it is NOT as safe as FVSA or other ISR experts will claim it is). Personally-- it was not for me or my child. It was traumatic for her, caused MORE fear of the water than she originally had, and she took in too much water and puked during 3 separate lessons and Kris brushed it off as normal (and I soon was assured by NUMEROUS swim coaches and medical professionals that it is NOT). When I expressed concerns, I DO appreciate that Kris seemed receptive, however, her teaching style is just not compatible with how I want my daughter handled. I wish this were different because I do think Kris is a passionate, very good person and maybe this teaching style works for some, and potentially for older children. But if you are starting with a child under 3, please beware that it is difficult to watch and in MY opinion after a LOT of research, does not provide the long term safety alleged by ISR advocates.

    There will never be enough words possible to explain how amazing our experience was with Mrs Amy…read more She is kind, patient and so loving with the kids. I have 4 littles with ages ranging 10 months to 7 years old. They are all now safe and confident in the water thanks to her. They used to be so fearful and anxious without floaties and now it's the complete opposite. If you're ever contemplating survival float and swim, I will tell you as a parent it is the best thing you can do for your kids. It only takes a second for a life changing moment near water. Take the chance, enroll and commit to these lessons, you will not regret it. My kids and I grew to love her and time with her so much that graduation was the most bittersweet knowing we wouldn't be seeing her everyday anymore, but we can't wait for pop in refreshers to visit our favorite!
