★★★★★Kathryn HorningExcellent! Wish we would have done this experience sooner. All 3 of my kids were scared of putting their face in the water and by the end were diving for toys and practicing getting to the wall if they ever fell into a pool. Ms Natalie was patient, fun and professional. The pool host, Mr Ed, was gracious and fantastic as well. We HIGHLY recommend!
★★★★★Taryn SladekMiss Julie was an absolutely wonderful instructor. She was incredibly kind, patient, and encouraging with my children, and they quickly grew to love and respect her. It was amazing to see how much they improved from the very first day to graduation day. She created such a positive learning environment where the kids felt supported, challenged, and excited to learn. Every class was filled with growth, confidence-building, smiles, and giggles. We are so grateful for the experience and highly recommend Miss Julie!
★★★★★Laura WoodThis swim school is absolutely amazing! My boys LOVED coach Andrew and how fun he made learning to swim! He really connected with them and they loved seeing him every day! (And still ask if they get to go swim with him every morning haha) I have so much more confidence with my 3 year old twins around a pool now. They not only learned how to move in the water but most importantly how to get safe if they fell in a pool. I HIGHLY recommend this school to anyone looking to teach your little ones to swim! They have been to multiple other swim schools and learned more in these 2 weeks than the months/years at the other schools. Such a great experience - I wish I found this school sooner!
★★★★★Jonah IchinoseWe’re so happy to have found Alli Jo’s for our 5 year old daughter. After 2 months at another swim school and minimal results, we decided to give Alli Jo’s a shot. 8 lessons over the course of 2 weeks and our daughter can now swim. The lessons were focused and comprehensive, which resulted in our daughter learning very quickly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thad was an amazing instructor
★★★★★Michelle RamosI can't say enough good things about Alli Jo's Swim School. My 6 year old son noticed this Summer all his friends stopped wearing floaties so he was ready to throw them away but I needed a solution to ensure he could swim without help before he could do that. Alli Jo's was that solution and delivered exactly what they promised. After only 8 sessions (30 mins each) my son can tread water, swim the length of the pool, dive down for toys and get to safety if he ever accidentally got pushed in a pool. Ellie was my sons swim coach and she was absolutely amazing! So patient, kind, encouraging, animated, fun and sweet! She really made the learning process fun for my little guy. He didn't want his swim lessons to end, he always looked forward to them. I'm so grateful for Alli Jo's Swim School and highly recommend them!
