This place is just Incredible I get choked up every time I think about the amazing tribe of teachers & instructors that add so much to my sons daily life. Steve Wallen has created a lasting legacy .. he hires some of the most caring, kind and loving human beings I’ve ever met. My son is both on the spectrum and non verbal yet his swim instructors share a special dialogue that reaches far beyond verbal communication. Gabe , Rachel and the entire staff are so patient and caring with my son and the kids. If you get a chance you have to introduce yourself to Steve the owner ! What a cool guy !! You can tell just talking to him people are his passion! And u can tell when u meet his staff .. everyone from the front desk to the instructors care about our kids and love what they do. You can’t go wrong with this place ..

We signed up for two months of lessons through our charter school, and today was our first session — a private 30-minute training with a coach for our two kids. They loved it! The coach was amazing and made them feel comfortable from the very beginning. The pool water was nice and warm, which really helped, and there were two other coaches working with small groups at the same time. I also appreciated the clean and cozy waiting area for parents — it made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Looking forward to next week!

This place is so much more than a swim facility. We absolutely love coming here, the instructors are kind and respectful, very caring and are wonderful with kids!! The staff in the front (especially Jen and Mara) are lovely and I look forward to seeing them every week! My boys started out not being able to float 8 months ago and now they are comfortable jumping into any pool and having a blast. As a parent, I genuinely feel safe around pools and other bodies of water. Thank you for teaching my kids such a important life skill!

My two kids (5 & 3) get to do their swim lessons together with one instructor, which works out great! I appreciate the feedback that is given about the skills and progress my kids are working on. Steve Wallen is a very well run facility. There are multiple times to choose from to fit busy schedules and the half hour blocks are just right. Being able to reschedule a makeup session is allowed and their team works hard to accommodate dates/time. Building strong, confident swimmers is the goal right now. “Face in the water is magic!”

My kid goes to Steve Wallen Swim School for 1.5 years and he finally finished all the ribbons! I love that the swimming pool is big enough to accommodate the kids and the water is warm during winter. My kid has no problem with itchy skins during his lessons. The facilities (pool, changing rooms & restrooms) are always clean. The front desk people are always friendly and reply my call promptly for make up classes. My kid had 3 regular teachers during his time and several make up teachers who are all awesome! He had a hard time to learn free style and breaststroke so we changed instructor and he finally mastered it. So sometimes it really depends on the instructor’s teaching style.
