Otter Swim School

★★★★★Lisa Moretti

Otter Swim School greatly helped my son train for and pass Lifeguard swim test to become a summer ocean lifeguard. Every trainer he had was supportive, encouraging, listened to what he felt he needed to improve on, gave positive feedback and worked hard to help him gain the strength and skills and confidence he needed. Everyone was so nice and really invested in making sure he was adequately prepared for the swim test. They knew what his goal was and they tailored his lessons to exactly that, using their knowledge and own experiences. I was also able to the trainers work with others there, helping them fee safe in the water and building swimming skills. Otter swim school was recommended to me by 2 people and I will highly recommend them for anyone needing to learn how to swim or improve their swimming skills. Thank you to everyone who played a part!

We had the best experience with Otter Swim School! We enrolled our 3-year-old and almost 1-year-old in the Parent & Me lessons, and it was amazing to watch their confidence in the water grow over the last 8 weeks. Each week, they built on the skills they learned the week prior, and it was so rewarding to see their progress. The instructors were patient, encouraging, and made every class fun and engaging for both kids and parents. They struck a great balance between teaching important water safety skills and keeping the environment playful and positive. Our kids genuinely looked forward to every session! We also appreciated how the instructors took the time to connect with each kid and celebrate their progress. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Otter Swim School to any parent looking to introduce their little ones to the water in a safe, supportive, and fun way!

My daughter recently took a private swim lesson with Toby, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Toby was incredibly patient, kind, and engaging, which immediately helped my daughter feel comfortable and at ease in the water. The one-on-one attention made a big difference. Toby tailored the lesson to my daughter’s skill level, focusing on building her confidence while also improving her technique. He explained things in a simple, encouraging way and made the session fun, which kept her motivated and excited to learn. I was especially impressed with how Toby balanced safety, skill-building, and enjoyment. He took the time to correct her gently and celebrate her progress, which really boosted her confidence. By the end of the lesson, I could already see improvement in her swimming and comfort level. I highly recommend Toby for private swim lessons, especially for children. It was a positive, confidence-building experience, and we’re looking forward to more sessions.

Cannot recommend instructor Toby-Jo enough for your toddlers. He is patient and kind, with a calm presence that makes your little one feel comfortable and ready to tackle the water. My son has been twice now and each time has said “That was soooo much fun!”

The BEST swim school around! My daughter has been swimming with Coach Tarin and her daughter Tayla for 4 summers and has shown so much improvement and confidence in the water. They are not only patient, but very informative on how to continue to practice at home, especially for timid swimmers, like my daughter was. She was extremely hesitant about going underwater, blowing bubbles, and no floaties. Now she’s a little fish! I’m beyond impressed with the team of coaches at Otter Swim School and will continue to highly recommend them for all ages!
