Incredible experience!…read more My 5-year-old didn't even want to put his head in the water when he first started lessons. After just 5 lessons, he was jumping into the deep end and swimming to his swim coach on the other end. Amazing transformation. Kerri is an A+ instructor; patient, encouraging, and just what every kid needs to get comfortable and feel safe in the water.

Best swim instructors ever…read more Summary: Exceptional methods and results. Fabulous with highly sensitive and/or very cautious kids. Impeccably reliable/timely. Safety-focused. CPR certified. Built an incredible rapport with my little that makes grown ups work hard to earn her trust. Details: We have a lake and a pool in our backyard but put off lessons due to covid. By the time we finally got my then-3.5yr old in the pool without a puddle jumper, she wanted NOTHING to do with the experience. She's naturally very cautious and not a water baby at heart (didn't even like splash pads or the bath). We reached out to Tamara of Swim Me after reading glowing reviews but had very low expectations for success. She started with lower-risk activities like kicking her feet in the water and chatting. Over the course of several months (our family schedule was wonky), we've worked with two instructors, both of whom have an OT background and they have done an extraordinary job. A few things I specifically valued: they were on time, all the time. They focus on safety and teach it regularly in a fun/relevant way. They encouraged us to leave our pool vacuum in the pool along with anything else that's normally in it. If she, God forbid, falls in, they won't be foreign or hard-to-manage obstacles, she knows how to navigate them easily. Sometimes they even throw in extra things as a curveball just so she can figure them out in a SAFE environment. We went from terrified of a grave outcome if she found herself in water, and from screaming and crying any time she had to get in, to a kid who knows (and follows!) all the pool safety rules. She can land anywhere in the pool (which in 95% of it is over her head) and knows more than one way to get to air and back to dry land. Honestly, I got misty the first time I saw it. It's not just seeing her impressively kick and paddle from one side of the pool to the other (which she can do and brings great joy to us ), but knowing she is equipped for a myriad of scenarios. Now if you were to ask her, she'd just tell you that Ms. Beatrice is super fun and she loves their play time. I can't think of a better scenario: we know she is infinitely safer from a real danger, and she just thinks she has an epic playdate weekly. Bonus: she also loves the splash pads and the bath now which is a secondary win for mom.

As I was preparing to take a swim test to be hired with a law enforcement agency, I couldn't find…read morean instructor available or affordable in my area. I decided to just take the swim test anyway and I failed miserably. After the test, I immediately looked up instructors and found Swim Haven. I called and reached Christina. I explained to her my situation that I'm a weak swimmer and needed to pass a swim test the following week. I saw Christina that day which she did an introductory course. She assessed my level and determined she can help me pass if I listened to her. We met a few times at a public pool and she was soooo patient with me. She taught me the proper techniques for the swim style and breathing. I was unable to meet with her for my last swim lesson but was still able to practice. Christina asked if she could be in attendance for my swim test but unfortunately wasn't allowed. She called me the night prior and gave me good tips and a great prep talk. She is so sweet and thoughtful. I took the test and passed!! I called Christina immediately and told her the great news. She was so ecstatic!! She was sooooo happy for me. I am extremely grateful for Christina. She was definitely a huge part of my journey to become a police officer. If you're in South Florida and need a swim instructor, please check out Swim Haven. I will definitely be contacting Christina in the future so my toddlers can learn. Amazing coach, informative and very patient. Thank you Christina!!

I came by Ray's Tae Kwon Do recently because I was a former student many years ago. During my moves…read morethroughout the years, I lost my black belt (1st Dan) certificate and I also did not have the black belt itself anymore. So I contacted Master Ray to see if there was a way I could get replacements for both as getting a black belt is a difficult endeavor taking a lot of effort and hard work...especially when I was 10 years old when I got it. Thankfully I found out I am able to. I got fitted for a new belt and I had to fill out a form to send to get a copy. As I was there I felt a lot of nostalgia...I spent years exercising, working, sweating, fighting at the school. I felt proud of this early accomplishment and reflected on how my time at this school gave me the discipline and courage that helped me become the man I am today. This is what this school and tae kwon do teaches and provides: That with enough dedication and self confidence you can accomplish any goal you set out to do...as long as you have the drive and dedication to earn it. I owe this school and Master Ray a lot for these early lessons. He's a great man teaching an amazing school.

KLA Schools of Coral Gables is a truly exceptional preschool. From the moment you walk in, you can…read morefeel the warmth, care, and dedication of the teachers, assistants, and administrators. They are nurturing, vigilant, and genuinely invested in the well-being of every child. Many teachers have been at KLA for years, and because they clearly enjoy being part of this community, they are able to build lasting bonds with children--even when they are no longer in the same classroom. This creates a uniquely special atmosphere for families. The approach to learning is thoughtful and intentional at every stage of development. Children are supported in reaching their milestones through meaningful experiences, social-emotional practices, and engaging class activities. The curriculum is comprehensive and balanced--covering academics (numbers, shapes, language), art (with a dedicated atelierista), physical education, and an impressive range of enrichment programs like dance, Spanish, soccer, and martial arts. KLA is also a wonderfully inclusive community, bringing together families from all around the world. It is not unusual to hear four or five languages spoken within a single class, always in a spirit of benevolence and respect, where everyone feels welcome. Another thing that stands out is the attention to detail and commitment to continuous improvement. Everything feels carefully considered, and it is clear the leadership values feedback, making thoughtful changes while also supporting teachers in their own professional growth. If you are looking for a place that fosters independence from a young age and prepares children to transition smoothly and confidently into school, there is no better choice than KLA Schools of Coral Gables.

We continued lessons with them for 4 more years, and also my other son had lessons (he was 2 at the time) until we moved to another country 3 years ago. Both my kids LOVED their lessons and Michelle, till this day they remember her, she is amazing with the kids!! She is respectful of each kid's needs, loving and lots of fun, but also firm and i think is the perfect combination. Now we had to find lessons in this country for my daughter, and she had a traumatic experience with the coach. He didn't respect her times, zero idea on how to treat a toddler. I really wish we could have our Mishas Fishes's experience with her. As far as I know, Mischas Fishes is the best there is in Miami. (We tried with probably 8 more coaches before and after Mischas... no comparison) Highly recommend!!
