★★★★★Caroline JonesWe have been so impressed with the swim program at Athletic Adventures Aquatic Center. Swimming is such an important life skill, and we’ve seen so much skill and growth in our kids. Coach Murphy is an amazing coach - her patience, excitement, and expertise comes through every class. I cannot recommend swim classes here enough!
★★★★★Alison GuerinWe have nothing but great things to say about athletic adventures swim! My daughter really struggled with being comfortable in the water and after countless attempts at community swim lessons we came across this swim school. Within 3 classes she was already putting her face in the water. The small pool, warm water and small class sizes make all the difference, and the coaches have all been amazing.
★★★★★Emma BrnakCoach Murphy has been amazing with my son! The class has given him confidence in the water and the small class and pool size are perfect!
★★★★★CLCWe had previously used other community resources for swimming lessons, both group and private. It wasn't until we met Athletic Adventures did we accomplish the goals we had set out for, which was positive independent swimming. Though the pool is smaller, the warmer temperature allowed for a more pleasant experience. The only struggle we had was rescheduling an absence/makeup class occasionally. We weren't allowed to make it up until the absence had occurred, even when it was pre-scheduled. Overall, the experience was great and we really appreciated the caring staff!
★★★★★Jessica BorchertWe loveee our swim classes and just how much they go above and beyond to make our little one comfortable. They even made a submerging class for those that struggle. I can’t believe how far she has come and how willing the coaches are for feedback. Our daughter is nuero spicy and it’s felt like a huge relief to work as a team. We LOVE coach Murphy and Coach Asia
