She has been working with my kids (3 and 5 yo)and just this week has my 3 year old (birthday 4/29) completely safe in our pool and able to swim from one end to the other. He can grab the wall and pull himself out. My daughter is swimming laps doing the freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. Destinee is the nicest person there is and truly loves the kids and they absolutely love her. She knows when to push them, love them and have fun with them. We had tried lessons at a number of different places and the results are not comparable. Not to mention the convenience of her coming to our house and ensuring the kids know our pool and where they can get out easily! I couldn't be happier that my kids can swim and love the water, something that will benefit them for the rest of their lives! I have been recommending Destinee to all of my friends (and the strangers that ask where my kids learned to swim)!

We brought our 7-month old son to the Water Bugs 1 class, which is for babies 3 months-9 months old. It's offered 3 times a week and is FREE. The facilities are great. There's a big open seating space for families to watch and there are books and toys for kids to play with while they wait for their class to start or wait for siblings to take their class. The family locker room is clean and spacious. It has private dressing rooms and lockers to store your things. There are also hair dryers and a nice area to get ready after swimming! The pool itself is warm and comfortable. For the Water Bugs class, one parent goes in with the baby and the instructor leads in various techniques and activities. It was fun and informative, and I can see how it helps babies learn to enjoy the water and even start some basic safety skills. The instructor was so kind and so was the sweet lady at the front desk, who helped show us around. We'll definitely be coming back!

I was amazed at how she transformed my 2 kids into strong, confident swimmers. They learned so much from her and in a short amount of time (w/o breaking the bank I might add). I like her teaching style, my kids really responded well to her. She is the best swim instructor they've had and I would recommend her to everyone. Worth every penny and then some. I now can breathe easy when my kids are in the pool.

She started as a toddler in swim classes, then moved on to gymnastics, and now she's thriving in the Aerial PAT program--which she absolutely loves! It's been wonderful to have one place that has offered so many opportunities as my daughter's interests have evolved over the years. We're grateful for the caring coaches and staff who have helped make her experience so positive. I highly recommend Cal Elite Kids to any family looking for quality programs and a welcoming community for their children.

My daughter started in Waterbugs at 2 1/2 years old, and my son began in Little Dippers when he was 6 months old. Since then, both have progressed through the different levels--my daughter is now in Clownfish, and my son is in Sharkies. The instructors have always been incredibly supportive and do an excellent job of individualizing instruction to meet each child where they are. They are patient, compassionate, and encouraging, helping my children work through fears and overcome challenges while building confidence in the water. We are especially grateful for Ms. Bridget and the entire Cal Elite staff for creating such a positive and welcoming environment. I would highly recommend Cal Elite swim lessons to any family looking for high-quality instruction and caring teachers.

UPDATE RESPONSE: I'm not surprised you are denying this ever happened. This is NOT a lie but you…read moreprobably don't remember as you treat children terribly all the time. Lots of unhappy parents to remember all their names. I have all the emails and proof we were at your school in 2023, his name is Ezekiel or "Zeke" and you scarred him for life. You are a horrible human being Joy. This review is long overdue- it's actually been 4 years since we were here but my child is STILL scarred from his experiences with Joy. We were swimming today in a pool and he said, "remember when Miss Joy made me get out of the pool and stand there in front of everyone." It reminded me how terrible she was and I thought I should help people out with a review. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Joy should not be anywhere near children, let alone teaching them. RUN, don't walk away from here with your kids. She lacks patience, kindness, and professionalism. She is skilled at swim instruction, I'll give her that- but NOT with children. She should be an adult instructor only. We had swim instruction with her for several weeks and she was VERY rude and harsh with the kids. We finally had the last straw when My son who was 4 years old at the time, (a Covid baby) and still learning to swim had a moment he has never forgotten. Joy YELLED at him and called him a "brat" when he made too big of a splash getting In the water, she made him get out of the water in front of his peers and stand there cold and crying while she made "an example" out of him. She told the other kids, "see if you misbehave like this boy, you don't get to swim." Thank God my husband stood up to her and told her how he felt as she just let my child cry on the steps. We never went back and didn't even bother asking for a refund as I knew we wouldn't get it.

From the moment we toured the facility, I felt confident in our decision and even canceled our other swim school trials because I knew this was the place for her. She completed her trial lesson and has now had two lessons, and she absolutely loves it! The facility is always clean, organized, and welcoming. Every employee we've interacted with has been incredibly kind, helpful, and patient. Most importantly, I can already see my daughter gaining confidence and making progress in the water after just two lessons. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend this swim academy to other families!

When he first started, he was very afraid of the water and cried through many of his lessons. Miss Kristin was so encouraging and reassured us to keep going--and we're so glad we did.
