★★★★★Katherine Arie

Both of my young kids (now they are 8 and 6 years old) have taken swim lessons with Chloe for the past 2 summers and the results have been amazing. Chloe is great at pushing the kids, and still meeting them where they are. My girls are very different learning styles, and they both have made a lot of progress. Monica is responsive and has helped with meeting our scheduling preferences. I plan on my kids taking lessons again, and highly recommend Monica and her team!

My son, Enzo, who has recently turned 8 years old, has been swimming with Safe Swim for 1 year and 5 months now (2x a week). Enzo loves it there, and he doesn't want to quit swimming even though he is a good swimmer and a good diver. Enzo did not know how to swim when he first started out. He has learned so much there! Now, he is practicing on perfecting his forms and techniques. He continues to thrive and become better and better! Swim has been profoundly beneficial, enhanced focus and self-confidence, and over all well being. The best part of it all is that he has so much fun and enjoys his swim experience, especially with one of their best instructors, Tyrell, who is beyond amazing! Tyrell is Enzo's favorite instructor because he makes learning very fun for him. They connect so well with each other, which is important because Enzo always look forward to swimming and seeing Tyrell. I would highly recommend Safe Swim!

★★★★★Donald Hantsbarger

Our 10 yr old grandson who was a beginner felt comfortable day one with his instructor. After two sessions he can go alt on his back and swim without fear to far side of the pool. Audrey was a firm but gentle instructor I would high recommend

We love safe swim academy!! Monica is awesome, she is very patient with my two year old son and helps him feel confident in the water. I love that she focuses on safety and teaches my son what to do in a worst case scenario if he ever fell into a pool. I highly recommend Monica at safe swim academy, my son loves her and he is always looking forward to his next swim lesson with her!

I have been taking semi-private lessons with Monica for several months now and she has helped me tremendously finesse my technique and get over my fear of deep water. Monica is very patient and supportive. She focuses on helping you achieve your goals while demonstrating her passion for teaching this life-saving skill. PLUS she is a former Olympic team swimmer so you know you are being taught by the best! So glad our paths crossed. Definitely recommend Monica! You will not regret it!
