Powered by GoogleWe absolutely love our daughter’s swim instructor - huge shout out to Coach Lisa!! She is fantastic - patient, encouraging and clearly knows how to connect with kids. Our daughter has made incredible progress in just a few short weeks and is swimming so well at only 2 years old. We couldn’t be happier with the lessons and highly recommend her to any parent looking for an amazing swim instructor! Thank you, Coach Lisa!
Who would’ve thought survival swim lessons for our 4 year old would not only give her the foundation & confidence with swimming but also make washing her hair not a struggle anymore— the water getting in her eyes, you know?!! Coach Drew has been 10/10 to work with our daughter. Oh, we are only on Wk. 3 and she can float, jump in the pool without assistance & swim under water. DO IT!!
Just wanted to share my extremely positive experience with Swim Life Northern Kentucky so far as I know summer is approaching and people may be looking for places to enroll their kids for swim lessons. Before starting, my boys (3 & 6) would cry if water got in their eyes, refused to go under water, and had never been in the water without a life jacket. Now they are calm, confident, and excited about swimming. Not all swim schools are created equal and you can tell how much Swim Life of Northern KY cares about their students and helping them succeed. The facility is very nice and clean and conveniently located right off of the interstate in Florence. Everyone is so welcoming and kind. It’s well organized and reasonably priced for the attention and guidance the kids receive. And the biggest shoutout goes to Coach Drew. He has helped my boys excel further than I could have ever imagined. He’s equal parts patient and understanding while also pushing them to do their very best work. The boys absolutely love him and look forward to coming every time. My oldest often says afterwards “I wish I could come to swim lessons everyday” which is huge when he cried the first couple days before coming. After just ten 15 minute sessions so far, both boys can swim underwater independently, float, roll to float, jump off the side and swim back to the wall or ladder, and are working on diving down for toys. The season is 5 weeks long with daily sessions Monday thru Thursday. I can’t wait to start my 1 year old next summer so they can all have a solid swim foundation. Quality swim lessons are an investment but absolutely worth it for children to be safe around water. Highly, highly recommend Swim Life!!
Survival swim with Coach Eric…one of the best decisions as parents we have made for our 2 year old! She absolutely hated going in the water at first, would cry the entire session each day, but by the 3rd week, she was reaching for the pool and wanting to get in and practice her float and swims! Top notch facility with excellent instructors who know their stuff! 100% recommend to anyone thinking about doing swim lessons with their littles!
Best decision we made! It is clear that Swim Life NKY has a strong passion for helping children survive and thrive in water. They genuinely care about the progress and well-being of each child while creating a truly positive and memorable experience. The coaches possess an amazing ability to meet the child where they are and encourage both the student and parent alike. We had the privilege of working with Coach Drew. He was outstanding in fostering a comfortable and encouraging learning environment that was truly invaluable. Our daughter was quite hesitant towards the water, particularly regarding submersion. Coach Drew was able to connect with and recognize our daughter's strong-willed personality and tailor his methods to build her trust and self-assurance through encouraging self-affirmations such as "I believe in myself" and "I can do hard things." This approach was both effective and heartwarming. She has blossomed in confidence and loves practicing what she's learned. This experience was truly memorable, and I know it will have a lasting impact on our family. To any parent seeking high-quality swim instruction in a supportive and nurturing environment, I wholeheartedly recommend Swim Life NKY.
