I don't have a fear of water but something about how my brain was approaching learning to swim and body movements didn't click. Krista and her methods work! She approaches it logically, breaking lessons down to bite sized bits, and adjusting to how she sees you learning or not learning. I had a few months of classes, and I'm not saying I can swim across an Olympic sized pool (although I might!!) but I can tread, and make it across a normal lap pool, and I can do the backstroke and side stroke. It's been amazing! These lessons made my recent Caribbean vacation so much better and made my husband worry less with my swimming ability. I loved that the lessons are in heated pools (hardest part was getting out of the pool), and that they are located in different neighborhoods so that the one closest to me was less than a ten minute drive. This has been a fantastic experience and I intend to return for some follow up lessons to continue improving my swimming in the fall. Highly, highly recommend!

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 is 4 times a week 30 min classes. And it is a commitment. But it is worth it! The progress my son has had in just one month is more than 6 months at any other school.

We relocated from San Francisco to San Diego and moved into a home with a pool, so making sure our kids were safe around water was one of my top priorities. I actually scheduled swim lessons for our daughter, Emmy, with Krista before we even moved here! Emmy started lessons when she was 2, continued again the next summer at 3, and this past summer our son Hayes joined in at just 1.5 years old. Krista has such a gift with young children -- she's patient (yet firm), calm, and knows exactly how to make them feel comfortable and confident in the water. We've seen incredible progress each summer. Both kids have not only learned essential water safety skills, but they also love being in the pool now. The peace of mind knowing my young children are safe around water is truly priceless, and it makes living in Southern California (and being around so much water) so much less stressful. Swim Synergy has been such a wonderful experience for our family, and we're already looking forward to lessons again next summer!
