So they had offered a "trial class"" - had an okay first class, but it was too basic for my children so we decided to not enroll and enroll in another local swim class. BEWARE - what they didn't tell you is that their trial classes cost the same as a class and they auto-register your child for recurrent classes (despite emailing them that we were not enrolling). My children are all in MULTIPLE activities across San Diego, and never once do people offer a trial class only to CHARGE you if you decline automatic enrollment. Very sneaky policy - will never recommend to anyone as "finding the right fit" for your child is definitely not their top priority.

Generally have been happy for 5 years, but we recently withdrew our kids. The reason was price,…read morewhat started as $80 a month for one child, which I thought was expensive but tolerable, has recently morphed into $295. That's for 2 kids, so let's double the original $80 and account for inflation over 5 years.... I still don't manage to get anywhere near $295. That's ALOT of money just for a few 30 minute lessons. I also have to add that these lessons were rarely a full 30 minutes, mostly because of other kids in the class showing up late and then huge drama as they get in and fuss with their goggles, while my kid (who did show up on time) sits being ignored. Lessons would routinely not get going until 10 minutes in. The teachers and the pool staff were mostly great, but the value for money has disappeared. The staff who took my cancellation didn't even ask why, and the pool staff said we weren't the first. Maybe Covid is a justification but I doubt when things get back to normal the prices will return to 2019 levels - if they do I might consider returning, but for now we have taken our kids to a different school.

Ms. Elly is an incredible swim teacher. My daughter and son have been taking swim lessons with her…read morefor several years now, and their growth as skilled and confident swimmers has been tremendous. In fact, while on vacation, a former Olympic swimmer saw my daughter swim the butterfly, and he was amazed at her technique and speed and she was 7 then! I attribute her skills in swimming all to Ms. Elly's teachings! She has taken lessons elsewhere, but since being Ms. Elly's swim student, she has developed stamina, speed, good form and a passion for swimming. And what makes Elly such a great teacher? Her instruction is direct and encouraging at the same time, and she is dedicated to seeing your child improve. Whether your child is new to swimming or hopes to develop their swim skills for swim team, Elly will ensure to fulfill all of your and your child's swimming goals.

Where do I begin with Elly. She is unprofessional, scatter brained, unreliable, and cuts your…read moreswimming time short. When We first stated with Elly, she committed to teaching private swimming lessons for $45/hour at our pool. She did this 4 times and then said she couldn't do it anymore and we would have to come to her pool. This was strange because she advertises herself as a mobile swim coach that will come to you. Since we started with her, we decided to just go to her pool. You would think that her pricing would change since she was no longer coming to our pool and we were driving to her, but it didn't. We noticed that she was NEVER on time for our set swimming lesson. She was always 5-10 minute late to start the lesson, which become very frustrating. Mostly because she wouldn't give you the full 30 minutes you paid for. She'd cut the lesson short 5-10 minutes early to start her next lesson! When I asked her about this she become confrontational and defensive, as opposed to apologetic. I noticed she would engage in long conversations with other parents during the time I was paying her to teach my daughter! I honestly couldn't believe this. When someone pays you for a private lesson, you focus your time and attention to what they're paying you to do. Every lesson I noticed she would be talking to other parents for 5 minutes minimum during our swim lesson. I kept giving her another chance and trying to let it go since my daughter liked her. But at the end of the day, it was so professional and just NOT worth it. There are so many other swim instructors in San Diego, don't waste your time or money with this scatter brain.

It's so much easier to get kids to a lesson that they are excited to go to and enjoy. After the first lesson, they couldn't stop asking when they could see their swim coach again and even asked if I could set up a play date with her ! Their swimming skills have vastly improved after only a couple of lessons and I'm more confident in their pool safety than ever before. Highly recommend!!

Nicole is INCREDIBLE! We knew we were going to be around a pool a lot this summer so we had to…read moreget my (stubborn) three year old water safe. Prior to this class, my daughter would absolutely not put her head under water which made any swim lessons prior to this less than effective. I let Nicole about our struggle and she assured me that she would be fine within the first four days. I had my doubts, but her results blew me away. Her fear was gone by day three and, four weeks into the program, she can swim from one end the pool to the other using the swim-float-swim combo taught by Nicole. Probably the most telling about how great Nicole is has to do with my daughter's excitement to go every day. Even though she started with a huge fear of going under water, she was excited to see Nicole at day 2. Nicole has a gift of making children feel safe while still keeping them on track with the important lesson they are learning. I could not recommend her enough!!

It's truly incredible what she can do in 10 weeks. My daughter who was just under 3 when she started, is usually very shy and reserved with others. She's never opened up so quickly to anyone as she has to Ms. Nikki and within the first couple days, she was comfortable in her arms. Everything from the teaching model to the environment is so thoughtful and effective. I wanted something to teach my kids water safety without the tears and was thrilled to find Swim Synergy.
