★★★★★Yen PengWe have had an incredible experience with Aqua Wave Swim School! The office is accommodating with scheduling and responsive. While all the coaches I’ve observed here are professional and skilled, I cannot say enough good things about Bill and Luisa. Bill has been teaching my eldest for almost two years, and the transformation has been amazing. She started out a little scared of the water, and thanks to his patience and expertise, she has grown into a strong, confident swimmer. My youngest is improving and always excited for swim class. Having consistency with Bill and Luisa has made all the difference for my children. If you are looking for a swim school that truly cares about student progress and building confidence, I highly recommend Aqua Wave!
★★★★★Jennifer GAqua Wave Swim School has been an amazing experience for our family! The program is well-organized, welcoming, and perfect for building confidence in young swimmers. A special shoutout to Ms. Brianna—she is truly an exceptional swim instructor. Her patience, encouragement, and ability to connect with kids make such a difference. She creates a fun and supportive environment while still helping swimmers improve their skills and technique. We also love the swim meets—they’re such a great introduction to the world of swimming. They give kids a chance to build confidence, experience friendly competition, and feel proud of their progress in a low-pressure setting. Highly recommend Aqua Wave Swim School to any family looking for quality swim instruction and a positive experience!
★★★★★Angela ShuiThe teachers are fantastic! My son now swims with confidence thanks to their patient and encouraging instructions. My daughter is also making great progress and looks forward to her lessons each week. The staff create such a positive and supportive environment for kids to learn, and they are wonderful with children who may need extra patience or support. I highly recommend Aqua Wave without hesitation!
★★★★★Huan LiuWe’ve had a wonderful experience with this swim school for our toddler. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and great at making the lessons fun while still teaching important water safety skills. Our child quickly became more comfortable in the water and actually looks forward to every class. The facility is clean, well-organized, and very family-friendly. Highly recommend for anyone looking to introduce their little one to swimming in a positive and supportive environment.
★★★★★Kristen TooleWe love Aqua Wave! Both of my kids have taken lessons here and become water safe much faster than they have at any other swim facility. The teachers are kind & patient. The facility is clean, well run and kid friendly. My kids are always excited to go to swim!
