Safe Swim Academy is hands down the best swim school we’ve experienced! The instructors are so patient and knowledgeable, and they create a fun, supportive environment for kids. My daughter used to be afraid of the water, but now she’s swimming confidently and excited for every lesson. The focus on safety and proper technique is fantastic, and I love how much progress she’s made in such a short time. I couldn’t recommend Safe Swim Academy enough - it’s been a game changer for our family!
My son loves his swim lessons! He’s work with a few instructors and they are amazing and patient with him. My son is nonverbal and autistic so it’s a challenge to get him to follow directions sometimes. But he’s been going a few months now and he has made so much improvement and very comfortable with the water now. I would highly recommend Safe Swim Academy !
Our 10 yr old grandson who was a beginner felt comfortable day one with his instructor. After two sessions he can go alt on his back and swim without fear to far side of the pool. Audrey was a firm but gentle instructor I would high recommend
We love safe swim academy!! Monica is awesome, she is very patient with my two year old son and helps him feel confident in the water. I love that she focuses on safety and teaches my son what to do in a worst case scenario if he ever fell into a pool. I highly recommend Monica at safe swim academy, my son loves her and he is always looking forward to his next swim lesson with her!
I have been taking semi-private lessons with Monica for several months now and she has helped me tremendously finesse my technique and get over my fear of deep water. Monica is very patient and supportive. She focuses on helping you achieve your goals while demonstrating her passion for teaching this life-saving skill. PLUS she is a former Olympic team swimmer so you know you are being taught by the best! So glad our paths crossed. Definitely recommend Monica! You will not regret it!
