My son is 3.5 years old, he was afraid of swimming as he had a previous experience that wasn't to his liking at all. But after just one session with Miss Teri, he has been able to enjoy it! Now after 6 sessions he's doing AMAZING, putting his head underwater, holding his breath, floating on his back, jumping in from outside the pool and swimming to the steps, etc he's like a whole new kid in the water! He just loved Miss Teri, she has a way with children, very gentle yet she sets healthy boundaries ! Definitely recommend her on all levels!!! read more

I brought 2 grandkids to Miss Teri to practice/ learn swim & water safety. She was patient and kind. One kid wanted to be there, the other...not so much. She was still patient & kind:) read more

My son is nearly 6 years old and greatly improved by taking this class. He really enjoyed Teacher Teri's Class. Would go back and highly recommend! read more

My daughter had a water incident when she was 2 and since then has been TERRIFIED of water. She is a very anxious child-- even showering causes her to freak out when the water touches her face. I got her into other swim classes like aquatots and ymca in the hopes that she'll ease out of this water phobia. It just got worse. So then I found Miss Teri. There is something so special and rare, that no amount of money can buy-- she truly cares about the kids and is dedicated to her craft of teaching. My daughter took a giant leap that day and I could tell it's because of how Miss Teri was with her. She's the best! read more

My 6 year old daughter excelled with Miss Teri... it was amazing to watch her progression! HIGHLY recommend!

My grandson had swim lessons at the age of 3. Covid hit before he learned to swim. Miss Teri was able to build back his confidence in 2 weeks and he was back on track. Her positive approach to teaching works!!! He is jumping off the side of his new pool at his house and swimming to the side. I truly believe Miss Teri's approach to swim builds up her students confidence. Once a child has confidence- they can achieve anything. Thank you Miss Teri. read more

Miss Teri is an amazing swim instructor. She is very kind and patient with the kids while also holding the kids accountable to learning the swim techniques. In a matter of 8 sessions my daughter went from a new swimmer to jumping in, coming up, floating backwards then turning and swimming to the edge. AMAZING and highly recommended! read more

Miss Teri is one of those rare souls that wants to take care of other people's children! Let's be real, most of us only really like our own kids and even that's a challenge during the particularly bratty toddler years. But, I digress. Back to Miss Teri. She has a passion teaching swim and is a perfect educator - kind, disciplines appropriately and kindly (gentle but firm guidance like 'please stop splashing') and her students love her. Her prices are extremely fair and her business (based out of her home) is clean, beautiful and has awesome views for spectators. She helped our daughter comfortably put her face in the water and after just one session we have seen incredible improvement with her comfort in the water. One note: for spectators it gets HOTTT! There's an arbor but it's slatted, so the sun comes through. Bring your sunglasses, maybe one of those neck towels to keep you cool. Another note: Miss Teri recommends calling her around Easter to schedule swim. Otherwise she books up fast. read more

Ms. Teri was patient and supportive of our son throughout class. She is easy to like and great with the kids in the pool. We love Ms Teri Swim School. read more

Miss Teri is an exceptional swim instructor! My 5 year old grandson did NOT want to get out of the car to go to swim lessons. Though he likes being in the water - with floating aids on - he does not like getting his face in the water. Miss Teri was so patient with him. I think it helped that there were 2 other boys in the lesson, where my grandson could see the willingness to blow bubbles, grab a ring underwater, and just try. By the third lesson, it was AMAZING to see him actually put his face in the water!!! Her patience, kindness, and quiet, soothing voice did wonders. THANK YOU!! read more

Miss Teri is the best instructor for your kids, she is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I have taken my daughter to her for the past 2 years she loves it and has learned so much. I feel so much more comfortable taking her around water in the summer. I recommend her to everyone and will continue going to her for years to come. read more

Miss Teri Swim School - Swimming Lessons/Schools Near Me

I found Miss Teri on Yelp and chose her because of her high marks! Miss Teri was so gentle and caring with our grandson! A young man of 6 years and lacking confidence in the water. She worked with him patiently and encouraged him the entire time! By lesson number 3, my grandson did not want to get out of the water and had confidence to jump unassisted into the pool! He will be going back next summer to join a group class setting to learn more things about swimming and water safety! I can't say enough good things about Miss Teri! She is absolutely wonderful! read more

We are so glad we found Miss Teri. She's the best! Not only she's very experienced, but also extremely patient and nice. My son loves her so much! read more

I'm leaving this review not because I had a bad experience but because I called the number provided here and after I heard the voice mail she mentioned her cell phone number and I called that one too and left a voicemail but still did not hear back from her! It's been 3 days! She contacted me back and she is very sweet.. although couldn't make it to try her classes but hopefully next summer read more

This is our 5 year old son's first time with Miss Teri this summer and I am very impressed how she teaches the students almost everything about swimming like safety, emergency, survival floating and most of the swimming techniques, etc. Our son quickly learned how to swim and enjoyed all the classes he had with her. Overall, I'd definitely recommend her and give her 10 stars if i could and we'll definitely be back next summer! Thank you Miss Teri! -Myles, Lei and Jared read more

My son started with Miss Teri when he was 3 and we've completed 2 summers with her. He loved the water and was used to playing around in our pool. She sets up the classes 3 students of similar age to her. We loved the small class size. Miss Teri does an amazing job teaching to all skill levels. She spoke to the kids about safety every lesson and was a whiz at managing fear of the water. One child was very afraid of the water, by the end of the 2 week session of she was enjoying the water. After our first summer our son was able to float, hold his breath well under water and use his legs to get around. He no longer wanted to wear his floaties. After our second summer we could actually say he was swimming! He was using his arms more and swimming half the length of her/our pool. I highly recommend Miss Teri and we look forward to our next session. read more

Miss Teri is an amazing swimming teacher, I took my two kids in different swimming classes before, but I never saw an improvement on them, when I took them to Miss Teri, I noticed an improvement on them in swimming right away. My 8 year old son use to have a fear of swimming. When he started going to her classes, he was much better and he's not afraid of swimming anymore. Since they have a great swimming teacher right now they don't want to leave the pool when they get in one. read more

Miss Teri is AMAZING!!!! She is so kind, helpful, and patient with the kids!! The kids love her!! My family has been taking our children to her for years!! I recommend her to everyone I know!! I've never been disappointed and neither will you!! read more

Teri is amazing! My 3 year old son did not want to even leave the step and would scream like a banshee when we made him. Teri was very patient and encouraging with him in his private lessons. The following summer, he was still hesitant in small group lessons (3 children in the group, including my son) but Teri was very good with him! We will be back every summer!!! read more

This was our first session with Miss Teri, the kids loved her. We will return next year. Great instructor.

I cannot say enough about Miss Teri and her swim school. I have a 9 year old who she taught to swim correctly at age 3-4 and now is teaching my 3 year old daughter. I wasted a lot of time and money on organized swim classes at different facilities for my son when he was little... I found Teri through a good friend whose son and daughter both learned to swim at her swim school. My son was swimming by week 3... Each child is different, he did have some previous lessons. He loved her and was so calm and comfortable because of her gentle yet professional mannerism. My daughter is now learning from her and she is on her 3rd week and swimming with her head under the water during the swim lesson and with confidence. She would not get off the step of ANY pool before we started with Teri. My 3 yr old still needs more lessons, but her confidence level is 100% improved. You WILL NOT BE SORRY! read more

We brought our daughter to Ms. Teri on a recommendation. My daughter loves the water but was afraid to go out of the shallow end. After a couple sessions with Ms. Teri her confidence grew. I took her snorkeling a week or so after, and when I asked if she wanted to head back in she said no, she wanted to out further! read more

Ms. Terri is a very skilled, patient and knowledgeable in her swim instruction. We took our son age 5 who had swam the summer prior with instruction from Mom. WOW, has he excelled after the short 4 week class. He is confident and working with us to improve his skill as a beginner. Can't wait to do it again next year! read more

Miss Teri is a wonderful swim instructor! My 3 kids (all under the age of 4) started lessons with Miss Teri this summer. Not only were the lessons convenient and very reasonably priced - they were fantastic. She is a patient and skilled instructor, and my kids have responded incredibly well to her. I am honestly amazed at how much they have learned in a very short time. read more

Miss Teri is amazing! She is so calm and patient with every student swimmer. She instantly assesses each child's individual needs and customizes the lesson to fit each need. Not only is she an amazing swim teacher, she teaches her students water safety and water survival skills. Both of my little boys flourished in her class are now confident in the water. read more

Learning to swim is a life skill that all children need to be taught. Ms. Teri is the best! She really knows her stuff... My son, a 13 year old, learned every stroke (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, etc.) and improved on the strokes he already knew. The lessons were an incredible monetary deal, with 8 lessons all for 180 dollars, but with an incredible standard of education! =) read more

I know Teri to be a terrific person as well as a wonderful instructor. She's been doing this job for many years and continues to enjoy it and the kids continue to enjoy her. She would be great for your kids to learn how to swim from because of her knowledge of swimming and how to teach children the proper way. read more
