Coach Thorburn was amazing. He was kind and patient. I couldn't believe that he didn't get in the water with me, but was able to tell me what to do in a way that I understood. I never felt inept. He made me feel hopeful by smiling and reminding me that I was capable. Before leaving, I had tears in my eyes because I was so excited that I finally felt like I'm going to learn to swim. I went for an assessment, but I will be going back for full lessons. Learning with Coach Thorburn is worth every penny!

Super nice waiting area and as a plus it's also got a tumbling gym so I'm sure you can get 2 kids busy if you have them! I also love how they make it easy to make up classes if you miss one with other options. The instructors are friendly and the ratio of kids to teachers is always reasonable. All in all a good spot to send your kiddos for some swim lessons!

Pick somewhere else! Enrolled our kids here for 10 months so they could learn swim safety and not…read morejust drown in a pool. After month 4 we wondered why they didn't move up a level, were reassured it was normal, so we waited more months, still no testing to even see if they were ready. Then the instructors kept changing and we realized they were teaching our kids the same stuff they learned on day one every time they changed instructors for the class. Turns out they "weren't keeping track" of what the kids knew and after 10 months and $3,500, our kids still can't tread water on their own and were never tested to move up to level 2. They told us the kids "lacked confidence in the skills" when they've had 20 hours of swim time now and just weren't even taught the basics of basics here. They only let you unenroll via text that they ignore you on and then demand 30 days to unenroll you which is another $340. This place is a mess of mismanagement and poor safety. After 10 months my kids should know something.

My kids were able to go from having no skills, to being able to float, being able to grab onto the side of the pool and climb out, and put there faces in the water while kicking. Each kid had their own unique anxiety about different parts of the swimming lessons and Donna was flexible with customizing what each kid needed. All of my kids went from being nearly terrified of putting their heads in the water to finding something they looked forward to doing in the water. Also, she has very clear communication about the swim lessons via email that made me feel comfortable before I ever got to the pool.

I can't say enough great things about Lesley Burke at Mansfield Swim Stars! As an adult, I was told…read moreit could take 3-6 months to learn how to swim but after signing up for an open slot with Lesley, I was swimming on day one. She is incredibly kind, patient, and professional. Lesley gets right down to business, focusing on proper technique and breathing without overwhelming you.

Her lessons are not only effective but also very reasonably priced. I'm so grateful I found her!

Third time was truly the charm for us, as Aqua-Tots was the 3rd swim school my kiddo had attended…read moreover two years. And maybe coming in with some knowledge of (and resignation to) swim class played a part in her success. Maybe it was also the right-sized ear plugs, swim cap, and goggles that muted the rude sensation of water in her ears and eyes. But Aqua Tots' instructors, the program, and the policies they have in place undoubtedly contributed to an effective learning environment for my 3yo. She came to them as a student who refused to scoot slowly into shallow water, but by Week 8, she was cannon-balling into 5ft pools. This is easily the best $560 we've spent on pre-payment for one 30-min lesson each week, over 6 months. And now, she can enjoy the pool with the rest of our family this summer! Aqua Tots has an app that helps with (re)scheduling classes, keeping track of your swimmer's progress, and tells you what they need work on. Negatives: - No private showers - No practice pool - There's a glare from the window that makes it difficult to see your child during daytime classes - BYO Towel That being said, I still recommend Aqua-Tots for kids of all ages and abilities, all year long.
