Melissa has been fantastic and we're so glad to have been able to get sessions with her. My 6 year old son has made more progress with her over 5 lessons than double that at the public swim schools. She not only has a great rapport and is warm and friendly to her students, but picks up on all of the technical details of learning to swim and is able to support them in correcting and learning. She has been doing this for years and it shows. We'll definitely be asking for more time with her next year. Highly recommended.

Mattias was great in helping us find the perfect instructor that worked well with each child. We highly recommend Edward and Taylor. My daughter was afraid of the water initially but Edward managed to help her overcome that fear. She is now able to swim and has leveled up multiple times. Taylor teaches my son excellent techniques. Her style of teaching is informative and structured. She is by far one of the best instructors we have worked with since we started with Safesplash. I am giving this review 5 stars because of the tremendous progress I am seeing in each child.

My 5 year old barely knows freestyle and no other strokes. I just got the notice that he has achieved a Beginner Safety Skill 'Tread water 5 sec, ret to wall, climb out'. My opinion starts here: Really, that is what you spend the 30 minute session with another learner, so 15 minutes actually; to practice AND test? Final painful learning: You can't trust them to actually teach your child to swim. I told them this is the last quarter we are with them because I am putting him in swim team in the summer. Apparently, swim team only need 2 strokes and to scale a regulation pool. I thought the response was going to be ok, let's work on the endurance, because, you know, I still trusted that my kid was going to be a foundationally trained swimmer as I have been very trusting and patient with their 'method'. The response after the class was 'I see that our instructor is not giving feedback, that is how they usually accelerate. I told them to give feedback.' Planning to file a formal complaint.

My little started swim lessons around 20 months old and is now 5.5 years old! We have been coming weekly to this location, and it has seriously become a second home to us with a large extended family! Over the years we have had many amazing swim instructors including Ms. Marissa, Ms. Angelina, Ms. Karyn, Ms. Rachel, Ms. Corey, and countless wonderful others who have helped my little learn to swim across the pool in all four strokes before age 5. Every time we walk in the door my little is greeted by the front desk and office staff by name and it makes us feel so welcomed. The facility is always clean and organized (thanks Jan and team!). Each staff member working knows my child's level and how to help her improve her swim strokes. I also appreciate how the staff is very organized and everyone has a clear job that gets done in the pool, outside of the pool, and around the building. As a parent, I am so thankful for this large group of trusted adults that have not only taught my little how to swim, but have created amazing memories for her (like singing Taylor Swift at the top of their lungs and having us participate in a promotional photo shoot) and given her a wide net of trusted adults that she feels comfortable with and learns from.

The instructors are nice and really try to get the kids comfortable with water. My youngest was very afraid of water and would only sit on the steps, but by day 3, he was comfortable to submerged his whole body in. We signed the kiddos up for the mini summer sessions which are Monday thru Thursdays for 30 minutes each day. The class size is 1 instructor to 4 kids. We have done 2 weeks now with Happy Fish and on week 3. We have seen significant improvement in the kids swimming abilities and they look forward to going to class every day, which is a huge win given both were scared of water. Happy that we found Happy Fish and will definitely be back next summer! Shoutout to Ms. Kira and Dexter for being so patient with my kids and making swimming so fun for them!

5 stars for our instructor Jocelyn…read more My son has been working with Jocelyn for a few months now, and she is by far the best swimming instructor he's ever had. He's had several instructors before, but none have shown the level of patience, understanding, and care that she does. My son is on the autism spectrum and often stims by splashing, and instead of discouraging him, Jocelyn finds creative ways to keep him engaged so the behavior naturally reduces. Because of her approach, he's made phenomenal progress, and we're so proud of him. We first met Jocelyn when she subbed for his lesson, and we switched to her permanently after that day. We even joined her waitlist so he could see her twice a week. He loves his lessons now, and we are so grateful for her. Highly recommend!
