And she has my 5 year-old (easily distracted) son well on his way as well! She has a gift for teaching the mechanics of swimming while always, always keeping it fun.

We are beyond pleased with Carolina's swim services! I was a bit skeptical because my daughter had…read morea lot of anxiety about going under water before starting lessons. After one lesson I already saw progress happening and after only a few weeks of lessons (few times a week), my daughter passed the pool safety requirements and can swim! Carolina made my daughter feel comfortable and no longer scared. Now she loves to swim and especially jump into the deep end of the pool. Carolina was extremely responsive during the lessons process, flexible, and gave so much advice when it came to my younger daughter who we agreed may not be ready for lessons just yet. I appreciated her honesty and thoughtfulness. She showed professionalism and her love of teaching kids in each lesson. We will definitely be calling her next year for my younger daughter's lessons. Highly recommend!

As Coach Andy always says, those early lessons are as much for the parents as they are for the child, teaching you how to safely and confidently handle your little one in the water. His guidance made us feel comfortable every step of the way! By the second year, we transitioned to individual lessons, and now we do them exclusively. The progress our child has made with Andy's help has been tremendous. He has a wonderful way of combining play with structured learning, which keeps the lessons fun, engaging, and effective. Coach Andy has a gift for making kids and parents feel at ease. His energy, patience, and positivity create an environment where children are excited to learn and grow. Swimming is such an important life skill, and I feel grateful knowing our child is building confidence and ability in the water that will last a lifetime. If you're looking for the right place to introduce your child to swimming, Coach Andy at My Little Swimmer is fantastic. It's been a wonderful experience for our whole family, and I highly recommend it.

Allyson (Safe Waves Swim) is the BEST! At my 3yr old's trial lesson, she had him floating on his…read moreback on his own. At the 1st official lesson, she had him jumping in the pool and flipping over to his back to float COMPLETLEY UNASSISTED! I seriously can't believe how fast she taught him! In full disclosure, in Summer 2023, we enrolled him in a water wings class for 2 months. In Summer 2024, we signed him up with a different 1 on 1 private instructor for a few months. So, my son had familiarity with swim lessons, but he had never been able to float or do much of anything on his own in the water. I mean, he is still working on blowing water bubbles becuase he hates putting his face in the water. So, to see Allyson *magically* had him doing all this with 2 lessons... I mean, I have no words to express my appreciation! She knows what she is doing! She is teaching life saving skills first! And she has a totally laid back and straight forward, no nonsense demeanor that I just respect so much! After the trial lesson, I bought a 10 lesson package and I'm looking forward to all that she is going to teach my son this summer!! Thank you, Allyson!!

We've tried several different types of swim lessons for our 3 year old son, but Allyson at Safe…read moreWaves is truly on another level. From the very first trial lesson, it was clear how skilled and patient she is. Our son loves being in the water but was uncomfortable floating on his back and even cried during that first session. By the second lesson, he was confidently floating on his back--something we honestly didn't expect so quickly. We've been working with Allyson for nearly six months now, and the progress has been incredible. She has a calm, encouraging approach that builds trust and confidence, and we would highly recommend her to any parent looking for an exceptional swim instructor.

We've been attending Australian Swim School since 2024. I rate this a 4 star instead of a 5…read morebecause, objectively, the facility is outdated and is in dire need of sweeping repairs. We've had numerous canceled classes due to the heaters not working, or some other miscellaneous fix that's needed. With that being said, the reason we still take our toddler to this school is because of the staff. We've had incredible instructors like Ms. Bella and our current instructor, Mr. Dylan. They have made us feel so comfortable with her our child in the water. Her improvement and comfortability in the water is a testament to their tutelage. And we believe this level of excellence is cultivated from the top. We've had the good fortune of working directly with Flavio (Manager) for the vast majority of our time at the school. He's the best front facing representative any business could ask for. He's so intentional about making sure families feel seen and heard, and that the kids are always made to feel special. His warmth and general demeanor sets the high standard that permeates throughout the school. His leadership and willingness to meet each family where they are has kept us here and we look forward to seeing our little one continue to thrive under his and his team's guidance. Obviously, we hope there are some investments made into the facility, but in the meantime, we are happy to have found Australian Swim School and would encourage any new parent to trust them with their child.

I'm extremely disappointed with how poorly this swim school maintains its facility…read more The front door has been broken for over a year. They can't keep the door closed while "unlocked," so it is routinely propped open. In the summer this might be tolerable, but in the winter when it's 46f outside the cold air pours directly inside while children are in the pool or getting in and out of the pool wet. I'm sitting there fully dressed, in a jacket, completely dr and I'm cold. I can't imagine how cold the kids are getting out of the pool. This has been going on far too long and is unacceptable from a health and safety standpoint. Maybe there is an agency that oversees this and they can be reported to. What's worse is that staff and coaches are not allowed to complain about these conditions because they'll be reprimanded. That puts parents in the position of watching obvious problems go unaddressed while management does nothing. The lack of concern for the kids wellbeing is frustrating. This isn't an isolated issue. The water fountain is leaking onto the concrete, just wasting water. The bathroom heaters broken for over three years, they now make noise but still don't generate any heat. Recurring pool heating issues The electrical closet constantly emits alarms and whistling noises Yet somehow money was found for a new iPad for checkin while basic infrastructure and safety issues are ignored. The coaches are great, and the kids love the lessons but the facility neglect overshadows everything. Until management prioritizes maintenance and the comfort and safety of children, I cannot recommend this swim school.
