We love the staff and how attentive and friendly they are. Even when we felt like our middle son was not progressing as he should they were able tp suggest some different things to help him get up to speed. We love coming here and yes its not cheap but for a skill that could save your child's life its absolutely worth it. We dont worry about the oldest being invited to pool parties now because we are confident in his abilities.

You can tell they genuinely care about every student, no matter their age or skill level. The classes are well-organized, and you always leave feeling like you've made real progress. It's especially great for kids--my girls absolutely love going every week and they have gained so much confidence in the water. If you're thinking about signing up for swim lessons, I definitely recommended First Stroke. You won't be disappointed!

As a mother of busy toddler twin boys, water safety/swim lessons was at the top of our list of must…read morehaves. My husband has always loved the water and is a great swimmer so we knew when the time was right, we would enroll our boys in lessons. Unfortunately, our plans to begin the process were derailed with the pandemic but as 2021 ushered in safe options we hopped right on it. Initially, we chose a brick and mortar school but quickly realized that our needs weren't being met. Frustrated but eager to find an option that felt more personal, I found Tia and First Stroke Mobile Swim School. I was interested in the 1:1 option and that she came to you. It sounded like a win-win and it was also important that my children saw themselves reflected in the water which isn't always the case for African Americans. During our initial conversation, Tia asked about my sons and what were our goals. It was during that conversation that I mentioned I wanted to become a swimmer as well. It had been more than a decade since I stepped foot in a pool and I didn't know where to start. So, we scheduled our consultation and immediately following the three of us were signed up. Our plans included six lessons each and with every lesson we became more confident and comfortable in the water. Tia was flexible when needed and the boys absolutely loved her. In the end, they learned key skills for water safety and I became a swimmer! We cannot wait for our next season with First Stroke because our first was truly life changing. If you are in the market for swim lessons that are personalized, fun, and effective please consider making First Stroke Mobile Swim your top option. You'll be so glad you did. Thank you!

Instructors had their hands on my children so much during the lessons -picking up a child under…read morearmpits to move them from one foot to the other in the water when they could already swim, helping with form more than necessary, and just generally touchy enough that my young children felt uncomfortable in the water. I did address this with staff and when instructors would switch, it would happen again even more so than before. Very young children need this guiding but older elementary school kids self conscious of their bodies don't want hands on them the whole lesson-especially by a young male. I also felt they really didn't progress to the level they needed in a timely manner. I found the staff extremely defensive of feedback from parents. I don't care that you believe in your program. If a child is uncomfortable that speaks volumes.

Once Goldfish opened up we quickly jumped on board. The instructors are great, Jaime is a wonderful leader (and sometimes dabbles in instruction herself), the facility is clean and the staff are friendly. I've read complaints about students not being moved up as quickly as parents would like. We appreciated the timing of it all. We never felt she was rushed to the next level without being ready for it. The communication about this was also on point. We knew where her progress was at the end of each lesson. She was earning those ribbons! It has been such a great experience we are continuously referring families to join and once they do, they love it just as much as us.
