Highly recommended for SCUBA! My wife and I hadn't gone diving in six years, so we decided to do a…read morerefresher course--and I'm so glad we chose Kent as our instructor. From the very start, Kent put us both at ease: he's kind, patient, and has a talent for teaching that really shows. My wife was a bit nervous about getting back in the water, but Kent tailored our refresher to meet her comfort level and our needs, making the entire experience relaxed and positive. By day Kent is a successful electrical engineer. He teaches SCUBA out of pure passion. That enthusiasm definitely shines through in his instruction. The gear we used was in great condition, and overall, everything was exactly what you'd expect (or hope for) in a well run dive operation. If you're looking to brush up on your skills, learn from scratch, or just have an excellent day of diving, I can't recommend Kent highly enough. This was the perfect combination of fun, safety, and quality instruction. Thank you for a wonderful experience, Kent!

I would give 10 stars if I could!! Coach Tiffany is absolutely gifted at teaching swimming! I was…read moreso amazed at how much our two kiddos learned in just their first 30 minute lesson!

My 4.5 year old daughter just finished her third, final session at Farnsworth yesterday. We had…read moresuch a great experience with Farnsworth from beginning sign-up to Izzy getting her tadpole report card and lollipop. ;) Coming into The swim school early June, Izzy was very scared of the water and would not put her face in at all. She cried the first lesson and wanted to get out of the pool. Jaynie and the teachers are very patient with the kids , but also know how to keep them in the water through the crying to get them to a more comfortable place. I love their approach and how they focused on technique first (big arms, blowing bubbles, strong kicks), and progressed to teaching a little more each day. Leena was Izzy's instructor for 2 of the sessions and I was blown away by what she could do by the end! She was able to go under, touch the bottom of the pool, hold her breath for a few seconds at a time, jump in and go under, and float on her back for a few seconds. Izzy gained a lot of confidence in her swimming this summer. She told me each day she was excited to go in, get rings and put her head under. Most all of this is to Leena's credit. She is so positive and engaging, and is really great at building trust and swim technique. She may not know how to swim alone yet, but by next summer I'm sure she will be able to! ;) Thank you Farnham!
