★★★★★Bethany SgrignoliAll three of my kids have attended Stewies. The staff is incredibly sweet and they did such a good job helping my very tentative 3 year old feel comfortable. Their facilities are great and it’s so nice to have a viewing area that is separate from the pool. I don’t get splashed as I watch and my other kids are safe to walk around while their siblings are in lessons. Their swimming abilities have come along well, I highly recommend Stewies!
★★★★★Chris ZellnerAfter shopping around for a swim school that focuses on developing critical skills (e.g. water safety), I found Stewie the Duck. Being in Fairfield, it's a bit of a drive, but absolutely worth it. The instructors and all the staff have been super friendly and helpful. Our 3 year old loves swim lessons. I'm looking forward to bringing our I can't son soon. It can get packed really quick. We found it's helpful to prep our daughter to expect the chaos to cut down on surprises. Ultimately, we settled on an early morning lesson that isn't as chaotic. I highly recommend Stewie the Duck for kids developing basic water safety skills, as well as other skills, such as floating and gaining water comfort.
★★★★★Rebecca ChaykovskiyWe absolutely love stewie the duck swim school! The facility is always incredibly clean, bright, and welcoming, which makes it such a happy place for families. The instructors are wonderful with babies and toddlers — patient, engaging, and experienced working with little ones. The classes are fun and well organized, and they make the experience enjoyable for the whole family, not just the kids. My son looks forward to going every week. It’s a great environment for building water confidence while having a lot of fun. Highly recommend to any families with young children!

★★★★★Ita PaskindWe love Stewie The Duck Swim School. My children have been students here since the beginning, and they have consistently learned new skills and moved up levels, and they are becoming confident swimmers. They have made friends with other kids and really love their teachers.
