★★★★★Hilary RozekMs. Nikki is an incredible swim instructor! It's clear she knows how to work with kids and that she really understands the skills and progression appropriate for swimming and safety. Being able to have lessons outdoors in the winter months has been a big win, too!
★★★★★Derek EvenhouseNicole and her team are great! Taught my daughter (4 years old) how to swim. She was very patient and methodical about the approach to teaching a child to swim. They also mentored good manors for children around water. Would highly recommend! Great private facilities
★★★★★AlexisMy husband and I visited Charleston SC for a week. During that time we decided to take swim lessons. We discovered Gullah Swim Academy and met Nicole who is an awesome Instructor. Her patience and understanding of our lack of swimming was amazing. We laughed, played and learned some great tips on swimming and understanding the water. I wish we had more time, but the information and skills we got from Nicole will assist us in our journey to Swim. I highly recommend this Academy for the kids and adults.
