MAKO Aquatics Club Rio Rancho

★★★★★Laura Bullerwell

We couldn’t be more grateful for Coach Ciara & MAKO Aquatics Club and the incredible impact she’s had on our daughter’s swimming journey. From the very first session, Ciara brought a perfect balance of patience, encouragement, and professionalism. She created a warm and welcoming environment that instantly put our daughter at ease—even though she was a bit nervous around water at first. What truly sets Coach Ciara apart is her ability to connect with kids. She knows exactly how to make learning fun while still focusing on technique and safety. Our daughter looked forward to every session and grew more confident with each one. Ciara celebrated every little milestone, and her positivity helped our daughter believe in herself. Thanks to Ciara, our daughter has not only learned how to swim, but she’s developed a love for it. We’re so thankful to have found MAKO and for coach Ciara who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. We can’t recommend MAKO enough!

This is literally the BEST swim team, with the most amazing coaches! The coaches truly care about the kids and want to help them grow. My daughter started with Mako doing swim lessons and quickly advanced to the swim team. The coaches have really helped her to increase her confidence as a swimmer and we are so grateful! I truly can’t recommend them enough!

For the past three years, our family has been an active member of the MAKO community. My children, aged 11 and 9, started with swim lessons and advanced to the competitive swim team, where they now swim competitively year-round. They have interacted with all members of the coaching staff, and I can confidently endorse the program's excellence and professionalism. The focus on technique, work ethic, and confidence-building has contributed significantly to their development as competitive swimmers. As a parent, I have been impressed with the coaching staff's communication and approachability in addressing my questions. I anticipate continued involvement and growth within the MAKO swim family for years to come.

I love this swim club. Jeremiah is encouraging and present in all of our conversations about my swimmers (I have 3 swimmers). Logan is amazing with my very active 7 year old. He is patient and engaging and clearly very comfortable interacting with kids and their parents. Great communication.

I have twins (boy girl) and we have been swimming with Mako for 4 years. My twins have dramatically improved their swim strokes and confidence. The coaches are great in instilling positivities and team work. Swimming with Mako, both kids have improved their times on all strokes and they have continued to cut time at every meet we attend. My daughter loves coach Aspen and coach Logan. They have taught her to be confidence in her abilities and also to have fun. Coach Jeremiah being a swimmer himself and his swimming knowledge allows my son follow and accept his constructive criticism because “Coach knows what it takes to make State time and be a better swimmer” according to my son and his goals he set for himself. I have seen so much joy in my kids after swim meets and the coaches' kind criticism add to their motivation to improve. We have only had positive experiences with Mako and it makes me sad if anyone else had a bad experience. Give them a chance and I hope it will change your outlook.
